Project14 - Make a Connection
I had just done a Show and Tell with my Raspberry Pi project. After that I saw messages where people complained the Make a Connection deadline was too near and asked for more time. To me that was the challenge. A couple…

January 5th, the Radio Control Hammering Rubber Duck in the Tub ( a Fun & Games E14 project not posted yet)
had its first showing for a homeschool's Intro to Robotics class.
The vehicle steering…
This riveting talking (and animatronic) book is an original story I wrote just for this project, of Cinnamin the Elf, his adopted family, and marshmallow adventures..
The last page of the talking book and the animatronic elf are shown in thumbnail. …
I converted an AA powered holiday candle to run on old 9v batteries. Every time I replace the 9v battery in my smoke detectors, I end up with 3 more slightly-used but still somewhat usable batteries. It seems wasteful to just recycle them, and I don't…
I needed a way to test my Christmas tree lights, and I needed it NOW! This is a project I started last year... or maybe the year before, so I thought I'd post about it now that it's Christmas time again!
This is just so I can claim a participation ribbon…
Altho the Sharky PixyCam Chase Tank has a dysfunctional PixyCam (my fault ) its still part of my Fun&Games project. I'm feeling mischievously jolly for the holidays so here is a sneak peek of the Tank's completed build.
I'm waiting for good action videos at a SciFi convention before submitting the Radio Controlled Hammering Rubber Duck in the Tub to the Fun&Games project, but I'm feeling jolly for the holidays so here is a sneak peek.
As a quick refresher from previous Forum posts on this project:
The RC Hammering Duck in the Tub is a radio controlled Rubber Duck in a Tub ( truck chassis inside ) using an Arduino Nano to translate the radio receiver's servo PWM signal to a PWM signal…
For your holiday entertainment:
RC Hammering Rubber Duck has been finished several times. I cant keep my hands off making tweaks. The last task will be defining the game rules.
The public demonstration at the community college robotics competition…
Hi all, in the spirit of the e14 Community 2025 Holidays competition kicking off , I thought I would start up a discussion thread. This is your space for sharing project ideas, discussing any challenges or successes that come up while building your projects…
Scope creep and spec changes haunt the RC Hammering Duck.
The bad news first:
Murphy's Law - plenty of spare IOs to start out ====> digital IO is nearly used up. I'd cry the blues to have to rewrite the code to use arduino analog as digital inputs…
This Challenge has now closed. Read on to learn about the competition or check out the winners announcement here .
We are coming to the end of another year, which means many of us are planning festivities and spending time with our friends, family and…
