Bentel Security WAVE-W

This is still under construction. Sorry.. 🙂 I bought it on Amazon for 16 € (you can find it here).

Arduino DIY Security System

Today one of my friends called me: some thieves opened its garage and stole his two bikes, his brand new road bike and the one he uses every day to go to work. It is incredible how easy is to steal bikes without getting caught by anyone: there is almost no way to find who…

PIR sensor adjustable wall bracket

Today I started my Arduino DIY Security System for my workshop and made the 3dprinted enclosure for the PIR sensor (I bought 3 sensors for 7.99 € on Amazon, you can find the link here). It consist in four 3D printed parts: two of them are the PIR sensor enclosure itself and the other two…

Arduino Smart Finger Jointer #4

Today I’ve tried to mount my 3D printed involute teeth gears to see how do they work. Unfortunately the hole of the pinion was too tight for the step motor shaft and I had to drill it on the drill press but didn’t got a centered hole therefore is a bit wobbly and noisy. But…

Arduino Finger Joint

Why engineers tend to be so complicated or to over complicate simple things? Well I don’t know honestly.. it is what it is… Yesterday, after some tests of my Arduino code for the automatic finger jointer, I thought that it’s time to move a bit forward the design thing. The frame of this jig isn’t…

Arduino Box Jointer: one step forward

Today is the day of improvements. I finally had the chance to merge two different programs I’ve made for the LCD and stepper motor with my Arduino. Have a look at the video and if you want there’s the link to my GitHub page where you can find the Arduino code. Otherwise you can have…

Arduino Nema23 TB6560 Homing

Finally some updates and some quite good results. Here is my new mock-up for the finger jointer. I posted a video on YouTube and will post the code soon. Watch the video Stay tuned Max

Arduino and buttons

I know it looks stupid and probably I Am but I finally figured out how to properly connect a push button to a digital input of my arduino in order to make the built in LED blink. It is very important that you connect a resistor (mine is 220) between the 2nd pin and the…

Arduino Smart Finger Joint Jig

Today I started thinking and designing a simple program for Arduino to control a step motor in order to make an automatic controlled Finger Joint Jig for my table saw. So far I own a BOSCH PTS10 table saw and I am building quite often any kind of jig: this will be the next one….
