“For our SIDE project, a year long project that we do for Ms. Berbawy’s Principles of Engineering class, we decided to make a stroboscopic fountain. The stroboscopic effect, pioneered by Harold Edgerton, makes objects appear as though they are …

“As any maker can attest, over the years, one collects a lot of parts. Perhaps it all started with a few resistors and LEDs, a breadboard, and an Arduino. But soon there were motors and motor drivers, IR rangefinders and …

“A few weeks ago I received a last minute invite to participate in a PhabLabs Hackathon at Science Centre Delft in the Netherlands. For an enthusiastic hobbyist like me, who can normally spend only a limited amount of time on …

“Translate music to a dazzling light show with this customizable light controller project. Great for DJs, parties, and 1:1 shows! The idea behind this project was to create a controller to allows users to “play” light like it is …

“There’s something so captivating about infinity mirrors. Maybe they just look cool or maybe they just remind me of being a kid and looking down the shelves in the produce aisle. Either way, dad and I really enjoyed making …

“This portable LED cube light is made from solid epoxy resin and is powered by a battery, so it has a ton of uses — a mood light, a party light, a night light, etc. Basically, it is just fun and …

“In this instructable I am going to show you how to make your own individually addressable LED hula hoop. Individually addressable means that each LED in the hoop can have a different color at the same time. I wanted to …

“After making an infinity mirror clock and an infinity mirror candle holder I decided to make an infinity mirror wall light. This time instead of placing the mirror parallel to each other I decided to place the back mirror at …

“In this project, I made an infinity mirror based on a dodecahedron that reacts to sound. Essential materials: Arduino Uno 3mm thick 100x50cm MDF 2mm thick 100x50cm plexiglass 3 meter WS2812B LEDstrip 60 LEDs/m Sound Detection Sensor Module 3- …

“The assignment for this class was simple yet complicated: Make something interactive with an Arduino. It had to be designed well, technically challenging enough and original for as far as original ideas go these days on sites like Instructables. From …
