Enclosure

Build your very own retro gaming controller with a Raspberry Pi using the SparkFun PiRetrocade Kit!

Did you know that most garage doors are at risk of a roll jam attack? Here we make a DIY garage door remote-control system that is much more secure than most commercial-ready products using the latest in ECC cryptography.

Hacking gumball machines to make the world a happier, blinkier place.

Use GPS to have two objects, a base and a target, point towards one another. This can be used to aim a directional antenna (or in the case of this project, a laser) from one object to the other object at a distance that is only limited by your ability to provide the base station with the target's GPS location.

Building a gyrator-based analog equalizer using the Proto Pedal.

In this digital fabrication project featuring 3D printing, laser cutting, and DIY electronics, you will build a beautiful design object for your desktop or night stand.

Learn how to build a wireless controller to kill power when things go... sentient.

In this tutorial, we will learn about how to create an interactive theatrical prop for a performance by 3D printing a translucent diamond prop using a non-addressable RGB LED strip and AT42QT1011 capacitive touch sensing.

Add some flair to your Imperial uniform by changing your voice using a Teensy 3.2 and Prop Shield.

Drum machines and keyboards have been the standard for making digital music, but how do you make electronic music if you're trained to play the trombone? One of our Hackers in Residence, Carlos Mello, took it upon himself to find a solution to that very question.

Tinkercad is a great, easy-to-use online modeling software that can have you 3D printing quickly. This tutorial will walk you through designing a simple project enclosure.

Learn how to build a remote water level sensor for a water storage tank and how to automate a pump based off the readings!

What does a baby elephant weigh? How much impact force does a jump have? Answer these questions and more by building your very own IoT industrial scale using the SparkFun OpenScale.

We can use the parts and concepts in the SparkFun Invetor's Kit to make a primitive keyboard instrument.

Music Box Project based on the Dr. Who TARDIS.

Getting started with the SparkFun Proto Pedal. We'll assemble the board, then discuss some of the details of the circuit.

See the invisible world of infrared radiation using the FLIR Dev Kit and Raspberry Pi.

Craft a stuffed monster while exploring the LilyTiny preprogrammed microcontroller. This is a project based on the Plush Monster Activity created at MIT's High-Low Tech Lab by Emily Lovell, Jie Qi, and Natalie Freed.

This post will walk you through setting up your TJBot and getting started with the first three recipe examples provided by IBM.

Are you to sleepy to enjoy a sunrise on a brisk morning? Yeah...us too! No worries, with a Webcam, a Tessel 2 and a bit of code you can sleep in and catch the sunrise at your leisure with the Sunrise Machine.

A playful, geeky tutorial for a leather bracer that uses a LilyPad Arduino, LilyPad accelerometer, and seven segment display to roll virtual 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 20, and 100 side dice for gaming.

Because some of our boards need to be re-humidified after reflow, we decided to make our own humidor. This tutorial will focus on how to model a project in 3D and then fabricate it using a CNC routing machine.

How to assemble the decade resistance box, then use it as a design and measurement tool.

Learn how to make your EL wire costumes sound reactive in this project tutorial.
