Sasha in the Maker Shed: Solar Grasshopper kit

Young maker Sasha shows us how to assemble the solar frightened grasshopper kit from the Maker Shed in this, another kid-made video on the MAKE 'tubes.

Subscribe to the MAKE Podcast in iTunes, download the m4v video directly, or watch it on YouTube and Vimeo.

The snap-together Solar Grasshopper kit uses solar energy to generate electricity and propel itself around. It's an easy to assemble electronics project that's great for first-time experimenters with little or no experience.

Worlds smallest intervalometer?

We've seen (and constructed) any number of intervalometer projects, using pretty much every tool available (remember that calculator-powered intervalometer from way back when?). Read More

DIY powder coating rig

I stumbled across this powder coating make blog post a while ago and decided to build something similar. My first attempt worked well but I built an improved unit with a similar topology to commercial units. I'm in the process of building my third prototype now. Read More

Zoho Artform #4

If I were forced to pick only one personal favorite of all the cool stuff I've blogged about while working for Make: Online, it would probably be Mark Ho's original Zoho Artform figure. This is his latest version, made mostly from aluminum and available in ten anodized colors. I have no idea what they cost, and I'm sure I don't really want to know, but I'd love to see more machinists following in Mark's footsteps and making pure "machined art." Read More

Nexus One/Arduino SmallSat satellite test launch video

Matthew Reyes of NASA Ames sent word that the RocketMavericks launch event on Saturday in Nevada's Black Rock desert was a resounding success. Traveling 28K feet aboard James Dougherty's Intimidator-5 rocket was a payload consisting of a Nexus One/Arduino SmallSat. Matthew and his cohorts are championing the use of smartphone components to lower the cost of deploying a satellite and expect it to become even more affordable with every revision. Read More

Tactile display for light and shadow

Touch Light Through the Leaves consists of a camera and 85 vibration units. The camera detects light and shadow, and the vibration units, controlled via image processing and vibration motors, change those inputs into tactile sensations. The display is palm-sized, so it can be used anywhere under various conditions. Read More
