Making of a Light Switch with a Capacitive Proximity Sensor

Click here for the video. This is a light switch with a capacitive proximity sensor. I couldn’t find any comprehensive source on the internet on running capacitive proximity sensors near AC current sources, so I wrote mine. It is 101 pages long and has everything you need to know. Hope you find it useful. (The Read more about Making of a Light Switch with a Capacitive Proximity Sensor[…]

Alarm Light

Last year in UAA MakerClub (the club I founded 4 years ago to teach others in my school), Ege Özgül, our students and I worked on an alarm clock that can wake you up by increasing light. It had WiFi to set alarms from your phone. The top section (the Iceberg) is a giant button Read more about Alarm Light[…]

Hologram V3

  WARNING: Be careful not to project black & white Teletubbies on the hologram because it looks creepy!:) Shakespeare day is a mandatory annual day in my school @uskudaramericanacademy . It is when people play Shakespeare plays. A person from my team said this as a joke, “Could you make a hologram?” I replied, “That’s a good Read more about Hologram V3[…]

Robot Animation Challange

An animation project I worked on with my schoolmate Ege Özgül for a competition our school wanted us to enter. At our school @uskudaramericanacademy, an IT teacher, @busrazorbaelcin told us that the robotics team of the school has forgotten the deadline for this animation and she thinks we can do. If we were to do, our performance grades Read more about Robot Animation Challange[…]

PCB Etcher

  Making PCB at home takes time even though it might be your quickest way. The method I used requires the uncovered copper to be dissolved inside the hydrochloric acid and hydrogen peroxide mixture. That takes long; once I waited about 6 hours. This thing I have designed on a night, which I call “etcher”, Read more about PCB Etcher[…]

Meteorology Station V1

Simple codes, a very simple design, here is the meteorolgy station. It was from three years ago when I first started my club named MakerClub. Since it was my first year of teaching, it is that simple. Both because people were new to making these kind of things, and I was new to teaching, so Read more about Meteorology Station V1[…]

Imagine you have a heavy dish of meal in your hand which you want to put it into the refrigerator. Because the meal is heavy, you cannot hold it in one hand. You want to open the refrigerator’s door while holding the dish. Imagine yourself jumping on one leg and putting the dish on the Read more about Fridge Door Pedal: Keee (From 3D Printing Competition 2016)[…]

Dog Food Container Needs an Angle

My dog and his long ears eat the food together sometimes, or sometimes we need to put a cone in his head for him not to bite himself, which makes him look like a walking satellite antenna. Becoming an antenna is hard for him because it interferes between the food and the food transceiver, his Read more about Dog Food Container Needs an Angle[…]

1.5 Years Ago: My First PCB

This was the first PCB board I made, from about 1.5 years ago using Altium. It is a light sensitive light. Darker it gets, brighter it will be. Notice the wording, don’t let it confuse the LDR(light dependent resistor) too, so make LDR and LED face opposite sides if you don’t want to create an Read more about 1.5 Years Ago: My First PCB[…]
