Reflow PCB Hotplate

“A PID controlled DIY reflow hotplate using an Aluminium PCB to solder SMD components Story : Last time I made a reflow soldering hotplate from a regular clothing iron. And it works pretty great. The only issue is it uses mains …

Self Balancing Ball and Beam using PID control

“By implementing PID control we have made the ball balance on the beam at the desired setpoint of 15 cms(total beam length = 30 cms) In this project PID control has been implemented to balance a ball in the center …

Self-Balancing Two Wheels Car

“A cool project to implement PID control! I started this project becasue back in the time when I was student I really like how things can be perfect controled using algorithms. So, I want to try to make my own …

DIY Electric Foundry for Metal Casting (120V)

“Weve been loving our Shapeoko CNC and have made some fun projects recently. One thing we need to improve on is nesting designs to minimize waste. In order to reuse the scrap aluminum, we made this electric foundry to melt …

The Octo-Bouncer

“I started thinking about ball juggling machines in the year 2015. I wrote about my first few attempts at creating them in this blog post from the year 2017. In 2018 I wrote another post about my then newest build …

Self Balancing Robot - PID Control Algorithm

“I undertook this project because I wanted to learn more about Control Algorithms and how to effectively implement a PID control loop. The project is still in the development phase as a bluetooth module is yet to be added which …

ACA: AEP’s Can Do Anything

“A Two-Degree-Of-Freedom Ball Balancing PID Controller In this project, we implemented a two-degree-of-freedom ball balancing platform using a resistive touchscreen, two servo motors, and PID control. We used a PIC32 microcontroller to read position data from the touchscreen and drive …

DIY Self Balancing Robot

“Hello friends this post is about DIY self balancing robot in this post I’ll show how you can build your own Self balancing robot. I have tried to build the project but failed not get results as expected. but …

Ball Balancing PID System

“This system holds a ball in balance on a plate. A webcam films the system and a python program analyzes the images to find the position of the ball. The python program calculates the tilting of the tray to prevent …

The Ultimate Guide to Building a Quadcopter From Scratch

“This project started all the way back when I was in 6th grade and completely new to electronics, when I thought to myself, “Hey, let’s build a drone….it shouldn’t be that hard……right?” Yea, guess what, it …
