We wanted to make a interactive display of the fun that can be had with DIY projects to take to Sydney Mini Maker Faire. We decided to do so by utilising the TinkerKit Braccio from Arduino.org, alongside some 3D Printing ingenuity, for an e...
SOLARBOI
Since I was young, I've always loved to explore. Over the years, I've tinkered with RC cars and played with planes, which were always plenty of fun. But I always dreamed of going out further - out into the real world, far beyond the confine...
KiPad - A custom macro keypad for KiCad
Presenting the KiPad - a custom macro keypad for the popular open-source PCB design software KiCad. KiCad is awesome! But I've found that during PCB layout, my right hand is constantly moving back-and-forth between the keyboard and mouse -...

Stargate Zero Point Module
This one is for the Stargate fans out there. A realistic, 3D printed, light-up Zero Point Module! I found a model on Thingiverse for a ZPM - It had good detail but - I took issue with the visible seam, and to change the colors of any cryst...
Borg Cube for Scouts STEM Camp
Introduction
What does one make for a Startrek-themed STEM camp for Scouts? Especially when given the Search and Rescue (SAR) activity base to run. Why this base you ask? Usually I run a radio d...Introduction

Wefted Waveforms
This project aims to fuse neopixel strips with papier mache and origami into a free-standing electro-sculpture. The freestanding structure is formed from wire mesh and papier mache. It is then painted and wired up with strips of LEDs conne...
Rain Gauge Data Logger
Summary A Raspberry Pi 3B is used to collect digital counts from an electronic rain gauge (1mm of rain per reed switch closure by magnetic see-saw). It has been running without issues for over 12 months. A UPS powers the Pi so it is immune...
Hydra Bluetooth Speaker
Wow - this is one monstrous sounding and great looking speaker - even if I do say so myself! This is basically a 2.1 (stereo + subwoofer) system made with 3D plastic parts. Both the full range and subwoofer speakers are based on closed (se...
A 3D Printed Ukulele
Here is a project I just could not help myself but build. A 3D printable Ukulele with a body as large as I could fit standing upright on the printers here. The intention was to make it as large as possible, using no supports, and without th...
mmPi-Pico HAT
I use a Raspberry Pi running EmonCms for collecting sensor data and controlling devices around the home but several things have been on my To-Do list to enhance its functionality. A Shutdown/Power Down/Startup circuit. Proportional fan...
IoT Soundscape
I had been captivated by the sound levels of trains I could hear passing by Metford throughout the day/night. I wondered if a sound level sensor reporting data back over LoRa would help me understand when a train was noisy. I also like the ...
Auto Tracking Camera System
The purpose of this project is to design a system that will automatically track stars or satellites. The first version, described here, is specifically to track stars and operate a Raspberry Pi HQ camera to take a series of long-exposure im...
House Power and Solar Monitor
I’ve had a Current Cost Power Monitor for a number of years which worked well until we put solar on the roof. The Current Cost can’t determine which direction the power is flowing and so power generation and con...

Simple Relay Timer
Introduction This project started because I needed to replace a water tap timer that had seen better days. The aim was to use a Raspberry Pi Pico and a couple of PiicoDev boards to do what the water timer did. The actual stopping a...
PowerPlay SSR Control
Introduction
The aim of PowerPlay is to provide an Arduino platform for managing downstream Solid State Relays (SSR) simply and safely. Â PowerPlay consists of a custom Arduino Shield, ...
Circadian Lighting
After experimenting with automatic blue light filters on my electronic devices I wanted to replicate the idea with the lighting around the house so that it would gradually transition to warmer colours as the night progresses. I believe this...
Backyard Birdcam
Introduction
I had been thinking about how best to capture clear close-up photographs of some of the many birds we see around our property for quite a while and mulling over a variet...
Raspberry Pi Pico Long Range Radio (LoRa) Weather and Air Quality Station - Full Dashboard (DataCake + TTN), Rain-Proof and Long Range
Have you ever wanted to make a Weatherproof Weather and Air Quality System that transmits its edge-collected data long-range through LoRa (up to a 10Km range) and then have that data automatically uploaded to the Internet to be gorgeously ...
Kid’s Music Box
I want to make a portable music box that my 2 year old kid can operate intuitively on her own. So, Spotify or any other on-demand music platform with tablets and Bluetooth speakers are out of the question. Remember the good old days of putt...
