What’s better than a table with wheels? A table that you can drive around! This tutorial will teach you how to build your very own Mini Robotic Table, a project that was conceived and designed by one of my students (she was 10 when we started). We built this table because, in the words of…
The EdTech Roundup by run by Mike Karlin is a great source for educators and tech enthusiasts alike to learn more about how schools use educational tech, from apps to physical devices. We are pleased to announce that FoxBot Industries was featured this week by Dr. Karlin under his Editorials and Press section. Click here…
Used by hobbyists and professional engineers alike, breadboards allow us to quickly build all sorts of circuits! Breadboards got their name because in a time long ago, engineers used to use wooden cutting boards! They would hammer in nails and wrap wires to make connections. Not only was it tedious, but the cooks got frustrated…
One of the most common questions I get is “How do I get started learning X?” (Where X is a some topic in STEM, most often electronics and programing). In an effort to help as many people as possible, I am writing a handful of articles on the most popular topics. Let’s get started with:…
In this world, technology can feel like magic. So let’s use tech to be real life wizards! Check out the video to see a fun demo of two magic wand projects, then learn how to build your own with our tutorials: one for beginner magicians and one for more advanced spellcasters.
“Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.” (Arthur C. Clarke). Heck yes it is! What are we waiting for, let’s use technology to create our own kind of magic!! This project uses two micro:bit microcontrollers, a household cooling fan, and a few small electronic parts to create our very own magical wand. I…
While it is a bit tricky for us non-magical humans to levitate objects with our minds, words, or wands, we can use technology to do (basically) the same things! This project uses two micro:bits, a few small electronic parts, and some everyday objects from around the house to create our very own magical wand….
We are excited to announce our first ever guest tutorial! Designed and developed by Miranda Hanson, a Seattle-based maker, this tutorial will teach you how to build gesture controlled lights! Miranda created this awesome project because she wanted to build an affordable and modifiable lighting system that folks could play like an instrument. She incorporated…
Gadgetronicx is an educational website and online community of electronics enthusiasts who share their creations, ideas, and tips and tricks for working with electronics and bringing ideas to life. Founded in April 2012 by Frank Donald and powered by many Enthusiasts around the world, members can learn from and share their projects with readers across…
The motivation for this project was to create a controller that allows users to “play” light like it is an instrument with gesture control, custom visuals, and brightness/speed dials. Considering how pricey consumer light controllers can be (often $100 bucks or more- not including the lights!) we decided to make a cheaper, more customizable solution!…
