A glowing LED star is not only a real eye-catcher, but also an exciting craft project that combines 3D printing, soldering, and programming. In these instructions, we will show you how to make an atmospheric LED holiday star from just a few parts in a few hours that will make your home shine in festive splendor. As a maker, you’re always under a bit of pressure to….Read More
First, we’ll build the thermometer with NTC thermistor. This temperature-dependent resistor, together with a 2.2kΩ resistor, creates a voltage divider we can measure with the Oxocard’s analog-digital converter (ADC) via pin IN06 on the breadboard cartridge. From this voltage, we can calculate the temperature using the characteristic values for our NTC. Our program is…Read More
We are building a small dispenser for all kinds of cereals. Of course, this useful helper can also be used to dispense small portions of M&Ms and other sweet treats, which should quickly win the hearts of the other family members. The interesting thing is that we only need a few parts: A servo, glass panes, a few screws, 3D-printed parts, and a controller. This project contains….Read More
The smartphone is our favorite tool, but also a huge time waster. If you need a little help with self-control, grab a 3D printer, some electronics, and these instructions. This tiny time-controlled safe makes your smartphone disappear for a while and frees up time for other things. First, something important up front: we’re printing our safe in plastic, so it’s not theft-proof and.…Read More
Cuckoo clocks had their heyday in the second half of the 19th century. In the 1850s, the Black Forest area of Germany produced 600,000 clocks each year, increasing to approximately 1.6 million units in 1880. The cuckoo clock became known and appreciated not only in Europe, but worldwide. Its reputation as a symbol of German craftsmanship and tradition …Read More
The Oxocard Connect is a versatile microcontroller board with plug-in cartridges for making all kinds of electronic projects. It has been designed to be programmed in NanoPy, a beginner-friendly language similar to Python, but this is not the only option. You can also program the Oxocard Connect using CircuitPython, a popular Python implementation for microcontrol…Read More
