Shotbot arduino build8/4/2023 ![]() Well done, Jon.įor something far less brilliant, this past weekend I published my own guide on hacking this dancing toy cat to have a built-in playlist of songs. ![]() It’s great when a project includes the 3D print files, but it’s another thing completely when a maker goes step by step on how to recreate them from scratch. Like so many of Jon’s projects, this one does an awesome job showing how each part was designed in Fusion 360. But I’m a sucker for any kind of drawbot. The result is the sinewave printer you never knew you wanted. To make it something a little flashier than a mechanical demo, Jon worked in a reel of receipt paper and a pen holder. It translates rotational motion, driven here by a drill, into a side-to-side linear motion. This is a modern twist on a classic mechanism he pulled from an 1860s reference book. Jon-A-Tron from Instructables has this cool, 3D printed, linear motion machine. I have a few other projects to share with you. Arduino says they’re free and independent, but it’s hard to believe that ARM’s money doesn’t account for some stake in how business is done. The official announcement from Arduino explains that the partnership allowed Arduino to regain control of their company after their legal battles last year while also keeping it independent.Ī post on Hackaday titled Who Owns Arduino? proposes that ARM likely paid the legal bill for Arduino, but probably not out of charity. ![]() The big news comes from Arduino, who have announced a partnership with chip manufacturer ARM. Oh, and did I mention there’s a cute 3D printed elephant that holds the pump? The project is called Drunky Dumbo, and you can find the parts, the code, and the 3D print files all over on Instructables. Once triggered, the Arduino tells the pump to dispense a specific amount of liquid. It’s triggered by putting a glass on top of the base, which has a light sensor embedded in it. The project uses a peristaltic pump, and an Arduino to dispense shots of liquor (or whatever you want). I’ve got a great mix of projects and news and tips this week, so let’s get into it, starting with the project of the week.Ĭheck out this shot bot by the RobotGeek team. It’s not amazing, but it’s better than last year. I hope all your Halloween plans have taken shape the way you’d hoped. It’s Wednesday, I’m Donald Bell, and it’s time for another Maker Update.
