Make Your Own Front Panels: When you have invested lots of time developing and prototyping your electronic DIY project and when it's finally time to mount it into a box, you realize that you need a front panel to make it look more professional. In this instructable I will show…
Pauldrons with Western Etching Medieval stainless spaulders armor SCA Classic XIV century design. 16 ga stainless steel. Great flexibility, solid rivets construction.

Please contact us if you have any additional questions. Important note about measurements: please take into account that we need your measurements in gambeson, choses or other under-armour gear you are planning to use with this armor. The only exception is when you are ordering both armour and padding from our company — in this case you can send us your body measurements. For sabatons please send your footwear actual measurements.

The news: The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has conducted the first test of a new type of drone that can be launched from a plane in a swarm and recovered in mid-air when it’s done its job. How it works: A military transport or bomber plane releases a series of drones in rapid…
[Andrew] designed a simple thermal imager using the FLIR Lepton module, an STM32F4 Nucleo development board, and a Gameduino 2 LCD. The whole design is connected using jumper wires, making it easy to ...
DIY Model Rocket Parachute: Make a simple model rocket parachute using a plastic shopping bag.
This project is based on Arduino radar (HC-SR04) which is digitally visualized using Processing.
Making a 3D model of something with pictures isn't something new to most of us, but there have been a lot of people getting into drones recently and I wanted to show something useful you can do with your drone. Autodesk's 123D Catch has a very useful feature not everyone knows about; Once you have your 3D model ready, you can input a known measurement and 123D Catch will scale your model based on the known measurement. If you're having trouble figuring out how long your Christmas lights need to be, your drone and 123D catch can help. Lets see how long the Christmas lights need to be for the 3DR Building... Lets start from the beginning. We want to get pictures of all angles of the building with a bit of overlap, if possible we want to get some at different elevations to help the 123D Catch build a better model. I'm going to be using a 3DR ArduCopter Hexa-B and a GoPro Hero2 (A camera without a fisheye lens will probably yield better). Plotting your mission using the Mission…
Range finders are amazing tools for doing pretty much anything involving distance calculations. Want to blink some lights when people are nearby? There's a rangefinder for that. Need to tell how far a...
Micro Actuators can be used to make small indoor RC planes, Micro robotics and much more.
Make Your Own ESC: In this project I will firstly demonstrate how a common ESC works and afterwards create a circuit consisting of an Arduino Nano, an L6234 motor driver IC and a couple of complementary components in order to build a DIY ESC. Let's get started!
LIDAR Spherical Capture Rig: What's LIDAR? LIDAR is a highly accurate light-based range-finding technology. It's typically used to scan large plots of land for aerial surveys, but more recently has found its way into many robotics applications, including the self-driving Uber c…
Want to Make an Antenna Tracker? I am making this blog more for my future self than anyone else. That said, I think a lot of people will appreciate the contents as they too might have found that an antenna tracker (AT) build is not easy to find, nor are the explanations as to why they are built the way they are. I AM NOT AN EXPERT but I plan to show you how I pulled it off and therefore establish a "baseline" for anyone building their own antenna tracker. If you are ever confused as to which "whatever" I am referring to below, default your brain to aircraft and, good luck! There is a lot to say here, so bear with me as I go over the basics. What is an Antenna Tracker (AT)? An AT is system that tracks where in the sky your plane/copter/whatever is. There are multiple methods for an AT to do this with. One is to use RADAR to find your plane (or copter or whatever) and feed the altitude/angles to the AT, this is way expensive and beyond the DIY needs. Another way is to have your…
