Episode 699: GimmeGPIO: A Simple Way to Get GPIO on Laptops and Desktops
Episode 698: Building...
In this project, Clem builds GimmeGPIO, a compact USB-to-GPIO board that brings Raspberry Pi–style GPIO to almost any computer. Using an ESP32-S2 and a Pi-compatible...
In this episode, Clem walks through his new electronics workbench and explains why he chose each part of the setup, from the adjustable desk and fume extraction to power...
In this project, Milos builds a mobile smart cabinet for his 3D printer, filament dryer, tools, and filament storage, combining workshop organisation with safety and...
Pat takes a practical look at Bluetooth 6.0 channel sounding using Nordic’s nRF54L15 DK, breaking down how RTT, phase-based ranging, and the new sounding packets behave...
Mark takes you through the full build of a DIY pulse induction metal detector and explains the principles behind how it detects metal. He covers the electronics design...
Clem Mayer (Mayer Makes) walks through a fully homemade programming and test rig designed for small-batch electronics production. Built around a Raspberry Pi and the...
Join Milos as he tackles a familiar problem: it’s the holiday season, there’s lots of delicious food and candy everywhere, and it’s too cold to go out much. To help with...
Clem rebuilds the 3D Chameleon MK4 3D printer colour changer from the ground up, replacing the legacy electronics with a modern ATtiny3226 controller, TMC2209 drivers...
Join Milos as he puts together an open source heart rate monitor built around an ECG front end and an ESP32 C3, then takes it out for a run to see how it performs next...
In this episode, Milos upgrades his open-source PlatypusBot into Perry the PlatypusBot, transforming a simple Arduino-based rover into a full ROS2-powered robotics platform...
Clem Mayer builds a real working communicator inspired by classic sci-fi, a handheld badge that actually makes phone calls. Powered by an ESP32-S3 and a SIM800L GSM module...
Mark combines two of his past builds, the Larson Scanner and the Vocoder, into a single 3D printed “Cylon Pumpkin” for Halloween 2025. The project features a reusable...
In this episode, Milos transforms a $10 flea-market air fryer into a fully functional smart filament dryer using the Arduino Uno R4 WiFi. By connecting it to the Arduino...
Join Natasha as she builds a custom LED matrix display from scratch, exploring the challenges of driving a large number of LEDs efficiently while keeping the design compact...
Mark builds a motion-activated “haunted painting” using an ESP32, a MAX98357 I²S audio board, and a PIR motion sensor to make a framed photo whisper or talk when someone...
Can you run Linux on an ESP 32? Yes! W hile a normal ESP 32 can’t run L inux (yet ) , one specific variant can. The ESP32-S3-N8R8 is now able to boot a L inux port for...
Clem (MakerMakes) takes inspiration from Tom Morello of Rage Against the Machine to build Dröne, a DIY body-controlled synth that recreates Morello’s famous “cable tip...
Mark builds a mint tin emergency radio using an Arduino Nano, a TEA5767 FM receiver module, a custom PCB, and a coin cell–powered microcontroller-controlled supply. The...
Andy takes a 1987 Sony Watchman portable CRT TV and transforms it into a working retro arcade system—without modifying the TV itself. Using a Raspberry Pi Pico, custom...
