For a upcoming project I need to control a Nema 17 Stepper. Therefore I need to use a stepper driver In a previous blog I described the DVR8825 Now its time to look at the A4988 Stepper Driver. A4988 The A4988 is a microstepping driver for controlling bipolar stepper motors which has built-in translator for […]
Apple Homebridge – Ikea Light
As I where looking at the new smart light series from Ikea and how to connect them to my Apple homebridge I found out some exiting news. As I where gathering information, I saw in the news that Ikea is going to support there lights in Apple homekit. The ability to use Siri and a […]
Arduino – CNC PCB plotter- part III
Now that the Hardware part and electronics part is finished we can begin with the software. It’s really not that hard just upload the arduino files to your Arduino nano. Dowload the Gcode sender and you are ready to go! So let’s roundup this project! The Software The Arduino files are included in the Github […]

Arduino – CNC PCB plotter – part II
The Electronics Now that the Hardware part is finished we can begin with the electronics. It’s really not that hard here’s a drawing how to connect the steppers to the Arduino nano. I used a MB102 Breadboard Power Supply Module as external power supply. Materials Here’s a list with materials you need to […]
NASA – Clean Air Study
A few years back, before I started this blog, I already dived into this study about plants and there affects on the polluted air around us. It’s time to share this intelligence with you. The Study The NASA Clean Air Study has been led by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) in association with […]
Exciting things happening at my work – waste
For whom reading some of my previous blog, the know that I’m reflecting my own footprint on this little planet. As most of my project require Electrical energy. My 3D prints are mostly out of PLA and I try to make it so that my footprint is as small as it can be, without having […]
DIY – Worm Farm
Nothing is so beautiful as Spring. Time to bring science to our garden. For those who read my blog, know that I have placed solar panels on my roof. My two kid’s are proud that, Me and my wife take in account the environment and what we are doing with it. So let’s make a […]
28BYJ-48 – Power Up
The 28BYJ-48 must be the cheapest stepper motor I know of. I guess that’s the reason why it’s so popular among hobbyists is simple: its price. I just want to have some fun with small projects where torque and speed are not really main issue. That’s why I bought a whole bunch of these on […]
Arduino – CNC PCB plotter
As I where searching for a good way to control my 28byj-48 stepper motors, I stumbled upon this μCNC project from D.Herrendoerfer. The only thing that bothers me was that I could not find a good “how-to” or “manual”, so I’ve decided to write my own one. As I’m building this project I will try […]
