How To Make Almost Anything Archive
-
Walker – A quadruped robot
This was my final project for How To Make Almost Anything I wanted to build a simple robot that could walk around and explore its environment, furthermore I wanted to build as much of it as I could custom so the sonar sensor is custom made, the servo controller is custom made and the control [...] -
16-Channel Servo Controller
I needed a servo controller that was capable of controlling multiple motors at the same time. Using a commercial controller was not an option because I needed this controller for my final project in How To Make Almost Anything and Neil Gershenfeld wanted us to fabricate all parts of our projects. I designed a controller [...] -
Fabaroni – Pasta 3D Printer
The Fabaroni 3D printer was designed by a group of MIT students in Neil Gershenfeld’s class, How To Make Almost Anything. The printer extrudes pasta dough and can make arbitrarily shaped pasta We considered many different materials for extrusion: melted gummy bears, marzipan and chocolate just to name a few. Eventually we decided to go [...] -
Sonar Sensor
I made a sonar sensor to sense distance. I used two ultrasonic transducers, an op-amp and a microcontroller for the job. Basically, the microcontroller creates a pulse train of about 20 pulses at 40kHz, which is the frequency that the transducers are optimized for. This pulse train is sent to the transmitting transducer. Once the [...] -
LED Message Badge
I made a custom message LED badge made in response to the Star Simpson controversy. Star was a student in our group and got a very unfair treatment by the authorities, the media and MIT when she accidentally wore an electronic badge in the Logan airport. I made an array of 36 orange LEDs, found [...] -
Remote Control Echoer
When I moved to the states I quickly got annoyed very annoyed about how advertisements on TV are set to a much louder volume than the regular programme. I quickly became a master of the art of the “remote quickdraw” and was constantly lowering or increasing the volume on my TV. I then decided to [...] -
2D to 3D prototyping
The idea was to use 2D design tools and fabrication to prototype something in 3D. I decided to make a snowflake-like structure and use it to make small cubical building blocks that could be made into something bigger. As a demonstration, I tried to build a viking hat using these pieces. The success has to [...]
