Surely you’ve been there: you need to capture serial output from a microcontroller or other device, so you reach for a PL2303 or CP210x or FT232RL-based USB-to-TTL serial cable (if you can remember where you put the damn thing after you last used it!) and…realize you don’t have the drivers installed on the computer you […] The post Smarter Serial Communications with WiSer appeared first on Make: DIY Projects and Ideas for Makers ..read more

This project is a continuation of my quest to build a robotic clock that can write and rewrite the time continuously, day in and day out. My first attempt, Doodle Clock, was a failure due to the marker drying up. Doodle Clock #2 failed because the display — a kids’ magnetic drawing board — soon got […] The post How to Make A Unique “Rewrite” Clock With Arduino, CNC, And Sequins appeared first on Make: DIY Projects and Ideas for Makers ..read more

Michael Rechtin found himself needing a pretty fancy piece of equipment in order to make complicated shapes out of foam for RC Airplanes. What he needed was a CNC foam cutter that uses hot wire to slice through foam smoothly. Not only that, he needed it to be 4 axis so he could get the […] The post Building A Four Axis Foam Cutter From Hardware Store Parts appeared first on Make: DIY Projects and Ideas for Makers ..read more
