Let it be made!

Here’s a little video of the machine working:

My projects doesn’t make them self, and if you want to make a project that looks nice you need some kind of machinery for the mechanical parts. Thats why I build my first cnc machine

Vein watcher

This project has a certain purpose, in hospitals the doctors or assistents has to inject people with needles, now they also have to inject baby’s. The problem is these so called neonates have very chubby hands so you easily miss a vein, while injecting the needle. To overcome this problem I build a very simple and cheap device to make the veins visible and make it easy to see where you have to inject the needle.

The solution is a very simple

Autocam, Camera with PIR sensor

Camera with PIR sensor for less then 10 euro!

This project I build just because I found a nightlight with PIR sensor and a mini digital camera for really cheap. I thought about using it for monitoring something like our cat´s entering and exit the house or point it at the garage door just for fun, to see what photo´s it would give me. It takes a photo

Cheap whistle sensor as an input device

Here’s my implementation of a cheap whistle sensor as input device for a microcontroller.

I build it a little time ago, because i have a light-switch in my room and it switches by pulling a cord. For me the whole project was to switch the light when I whistle. The implementation of the whole concept was quite clear, I would use a servo to pull the cord, a microcontroller to drive the servo and a “sensor” to detect the whistle. To make it easy and cheap I find
