Timothy sent us a blog post with all the details of his project. In his project he uses MakerBeam to combine arduino and 8×8 Neopixel matrices by Adafruit. In his blog post, Art, Electrons and Computation, you can read more about his MakerBeam project. Also he added some great pictures that show his building process.

Raspberry Pi Security System with Motion Detection / Camera

A security system that detects the mobile phones of the home occupants in order to avoid switching it on and off. This home made project uses Raspberry Pi, motion detection and naturally MakerBeam.

20160607 Security System_cr

One of the main goals was to have the system completely automatic. No turning it on or off when leaving or arriving home. The easiest way to achieve this was to try and detect the mobile phones of the home occupants. Conceptually this was quite simple but in practice it was the most challenging part.

You can read the complete Bill of Materials in the full article. Continue reading on hackster.io about this project with raspberry pi.

Circular Knitic

Circular Knitic is a completely open source and open design circular knitting machine that is produced by using digital fabrication tools, and thus, allows to be replicated by everyone, who has access to a 3d printing and laser cutting. By using digital fabrication and makers’ tools, like 3D printing, laser cutting, MakerBeam, and Arduino, we have designed an automated and replicable circular knitting machine.
