I see we can upload our own patches to send to other people. What makes a "patch"? What are the size and format limits? Are there any style guidelines (the current patches all have a square border with rounded corners).

Where would one find this machine?

Hi All, To be honest, I don't know if my inquiry fits within this forum, but I really had no idea where to post what I need. I am currently interning at a non-profit nature center which relies heavily on volunteers. As art of my internship, my supervisor would like several databases created. I don't know what program would work best for my needs and I was hoping somebody could give me a few ideas for what I need to create. Here is what she would like: 1. A volunteer database that is searchable by the training and expertise each volunteer has received. Let's say for instance, that we are having an insect program and only those who have been trained for the program can volunteer. I need to be able to search a keyword or from a drop down menu individuals who have received this training. A spreadsheet would suffice, but some individuals have so many training sessions that it would get a bit long. We also have over a hundred volunteers. 2. A teacher database that shows the grades and classes each teacher in our system teaches. We have school groups come out, and if their is a fourth grade program, there is no reason to contact every other grade teacher. 3. This is the really challenging one. We have rental programs, and all users must complete rental information which includes name, contact information, type of rental, and emergency contact. I would like to go paperless with this and if somebody rents more than once they have to fill in the information every time. I would like to be able to search their name and have all of their information come up, then input their rental type and time, which would give me a list of how many rentals we have had per day/week/year and how much money we have made. As I said, I could just make a spreadsheet for the first two but I would like something a bit more sophisticated. If I was not clear about anything, please let me know.

The title says it all. Somehow while creating my instructable, and extra step was created at the end. I can't find a place to delete a step... It must be there without deleting the entire instructable...

I added my intro, but my computer won't show me the Add Step button. What do I do?

I was thinking it was god but everyone is telling me otherwise, I still belive god created it, but what are your awnsers

Log Entry 0001: I just purchased a Create and a BAM (but not received it yet). The plan is to use my Windows XP laptop as a bluetooth-tethered brain and write a C++ application that creates a virtual map of any room in which the Create finds itself; I'm not sure what the challenges are yet - I'm guessing there will be some latency in getting real-time information from the robot via the BAM module ... Step 1: read manuals on Bluthooth protocol, the Create command set; design the "brain" (a multi-threaded GUI windows app )... - Cheers.

Hi :D we are looking for some people to create an FPS multiplayer videogame together. If you want to help us you must install UDK and learn it. We are looking for level designer, animators an so on... Please contact me if you are interested and i'll give you all the info about the project. Also on Skype: RigaZh (fabio_rigamonti)

see who won!

I have my project pretty well planned out.  I am having trouble with entering it into the form.  Also have 3 drafts that I started that do not seem right, but do not know how to eliminate them so that I can start over.   Is the small picture at the top for the project, or is it supposed to be my profile picture? Any suggestions?

I'm a bit undecided as to the avatar to go with this new name. Sandy was a bit too...cartoony somehow, and as you can see I'm desperate. T-shirts based on the second amendment are funny, but not funny enough to make a permanent avatar. Laird Howe made a lovely one, but it's spring and change is good. Lemonie was so kind as to crop sandy, but she's not quite right... I need help! Make me an avatar? Link me to one? I'm stuck. What will my face on here be? The people decide! Unless there's little interest on the topic (likelihood: likely). Then I decide, arbitrarily and all willy nilly. Can't have that.

I am ready to create my first inscrutable but when i try the creation page is masked with a dark gray color and i am unable to do anything on the page why is that?

Using Google chrome i try to open the create window on the Instructables website, But when i do a dark gray color overlays the entire webpage (picture below) and i am unable to edit/create anything. Anyone else have the same problem? what is the solution to fixing it?

Hi. I wanna make a batchfile that creates another batchfile with text. I've tried to use the echo command like this: "echo echo off > something.bat" and that do work but I need to use it like this:" echo ( echo off color a cls echo welcome etc. ) > something.bat somebody help! thanks in advance.

I cannot create a instructable the site only show me a grey block and I cannot select any thing

Hi all, I'm new to creating circuits and to instructables Here is my problem. I'm trying to create a Circuit that will count to 30 as fast a LED flashes that uses a 555 IC, once it gets to 30 you will need to press a button to reset it or the LED will stop flashing. Thanks in advance.

Many of the instructables I submit are related to farming issues and solutions.  Usually I choose Outdoors or Gardening as the category to assign it to but I wish there was a farming category.  Farming is bigger than gardening and a faint subset of Outdoors.  Can we create a Farming category?

I am new to intractable.  I am inspired by the community.  I found it because I had made a creation and I wanted an outlet the share it.  For me creating is one of the most satisfying experiences.  Most other things only get in the way.  I always wish I had unlimited resources and enough free time to create to my heart’s desire.  Today I had a realization that made me feel much better about all of life’s other obligations.  It is the problems in daily life that inspire me to create.  My most recent creation that I shared was a tool box I made for work.  Only because I have work bogging me down did I need this creation.  I am now very happy with the box.  I wish I had more time and money to create but if I did I am afraid I may not have the desire to create.

Researchers at Purdue have impregnated paper with iron particles, creating "ferropaper." ------------------------------------------ Researchers at Purdue University have created a magnetic "ferropaper" that might be used to make low-cost "micromotors" for surgical instruments, tiny tweezers to study cells and miniature speakers. The material is made by impregnating ordinary paper -- even newsprint -- with a mixture of mineral oil and "magnetic nanoparticles" of iron oxide. The nanoparticle-laden paper can then be moved using a magnetic field. ------------------------------------------ The article later mentions that "newspaper and soft tissue paper are especially suitable." This sounds to me like a startlingly simple DIY project that could create some fun kinetic sculpture, if nothing else. Via ScienceDaily

Does anyone know and understand the process of creating a trademark? As best as I can gather creating a trademark is as easy as putting TM after what ever you would like trademarked. However, if you wish to register your trademark so you can have the R behind it that is where the line starts to blur and become a little more fuzzy. There are some fairly expensive fees as well as quite of bit of research that you first must do or face losing your $300+ fees.  So if anyone has had anything registered with the Us Copyright and Trademark office please share your experience. 

Ok so i have made a bunch of critical error messages that i am interested in putting into a shortcut so that when the victim opens the shortcut all the error messages will show up!! is there a way i can open multiple programs with a shortcut??

Here's an idea - an Instructable about how Instructables.com came to be Made by the Instructables Staff in their spare time. The first step would be the original idea. Then how some of the staff came to be a part of Instructables, how scripting started, how Instructables has changed and so on..... Oh Oh! And how the Instructables Robot came to be!!!!

Hi there! We want to produce an stl of a heelbone from DICOM files to print and use in an operation. The edible Chocolate Brain was the inspiration to use Invesalius - meshlab I already know so this seemed like a good option. there are, however, limited manuals in english and infos to figure out certain steps in the Program ... like creating the surface for the stl - the mask has already been taken care of and everything else looks right, just this one step isn't yielding the expected result. a link of the document in question to look at - https://www.dropbox.com/s/3oinuz5goz15mws/Fersenbein.inv3 I would appreciate any help a great deal. thank you & snowy regards from Vienna, Eva Tucek

Hello forums, I was wondering if anybody knew of a program that could do the following via USB. I have pet chickens that need feeding multiple times a day. I wanted to make a USB device that I could plug into my computer, and when I push a button in the program, it activates the USB port which is connected to my feeder. I don't need any help with making the feeder, it's just being able to run it on demand. Thanks in advance.

ive been waiting for my dongle i ordered from dealextreme.com for far to long and i am a very impatient man. ive set out to make a dongle, or try until it finally gets here. ive considered many options but its looking like this will be the most promising. my friend gave me a slightly damaged ipod touch (2nd gen?), which i found out has a broadcom bluetooth chip in it. i ripped up the ipod, found the chip, and the datasheet. ive messed with some circuitry before, but i am lost on this. im actually pretty novice with this sort of thing, but ive experimented and learned a lot on my own. i am eager to learn. my goal is to make this into a usb bluetooth adapter. i have all the ipod parts (may need some?), usb cables are abundant, and i have a soldering gun and i am able to use it. could someone please help guide me in the right direction? i am sorry if this doesnt belong here.. this is my first post here, but ive been enjoying the site for a while now. i am a big do it yourself kind of guy and will most definitely be uploading some of my ideas when i get around to it.

A Friend gave me his old Gateway Desktop Model "MFATXPNT NMZ 500SE" with Windows XP Home, and I would like to restore it to OUT Of THE BOX condition. Unfortunately, he already made a set of Recovery Discs, but then misplaced them or accidentally threw them out in the trash. My Question is: Is there a REGISTRY Tweak that can be done to RE-Enable the RECOVERY Application on the Gateway? Any help would be appreciated!

Hey everyone-How are you doing with your iRobot Creates? I notice that nobody's posted yet- would a (short!) extension help you out?Let me know how you're doing.

I dont know if somthing like this exists but i'll put it out there anyways... here people can post guides they believe should be created, started, etc. i'll start with one all for Palm Pilots

Are you bored silly? YEAH! are you- oh forget it. let's cut to the chase, im bored and if you are too, come talk! i'm lonely.

I can't find the option of making a guide in instructables, though I made one before! need help.

Can anyone help me send a virus to a corrupt public lawyer,thanks for any help!!!!

When you implemented the new upload tool, I couldn't use it in Chrome on a Windows 7 laptop.  You drag and drop the file to a location on the page and then click upload. However, the upload button was off-screen and I couldn't scroll to it. Weird! I got around the problem by using another browser for a while.  Recently, I discovered that the zoom setting was over 100%!  I hadn't zoomed in…. By setting it back to 100%, I could access the upload button. Why do the create pages change the zoom setting on on you? Why can't you scroll to the button in Chrome?

Http://www.uncommongoods.com/product/gnome-be-gone-decision-maker its the best thing I've found so far (as my little broz christmas gift) but it costs $90! Can we  make something clever like  this at home?

I like the new interface, but I have a suggestion that could make it better. I often work on multiple projects at once, and sometimes I move pictures and pieces of the Instructables around. It would be really convenient if you could take a step and move it out of one Instructable and into another or spawn a new one.

Any of  the sets will work except duplo and friends those are NOT REAL LEGOS. i like to have at least one minifigure. also, my cash limit is 14 dollars. thanks!                                             jessica, age 9

What do you do as a Christian to better yourself everyday? give to charity? read your bible? pray to God? learn new skills? preach in his name? etc... there are many things we can do to praise God being yourself is a good way to praise God what are ways you better yourself? share instructables and experiences in this thread about all around bettering yourself and becoming more skilled.....

I tried to create a new 'ible. After clicking on the New Instructable button, I get the normal 'ible editing page, but then the browser says Stopped and the browser content is greyed out, see screen shot. Note the status bar, it is sometime 50% sometimes other values. Windows 7/64, Firefox 38.0.5.

Hey guys, Does anyone have an iRobot Create they don't need or want anymore. Would you be interested in giving it to me? Currently I have a LOT of things on my list that I want, and I can't afford them all.

I can add text and i try to add as many photos but when i click publish it wants MORE photos

I had to unravel a wire hanger to get a cutting board  from the back of my fridge. Gemmeh Good Ideas! :D
