Yup. Thanks.

It's likely connected on the underside of the board. It's best to always go by the schematic.

Nice little robot. You should embed the video as a youtube video instead of as a file download. It will make it easier for people to see what it does.

You should post a finished picture of your robot as the main image instead of a dirty bathroom. I think your project will get better engagement if people can see what they could make in the thumbnail.

I'm a little confused, are you using Alexa voice commands to control the remote, which then controls the other appliances?

I'm curious to what this cube does. Perhaps you can also use the intro to explain a little bit about what you were trying to accomplish by making this? You spent all of this time learning electronics this semester and writing this Instructable, it would be a shame if people just skipped over this project because they didn't understand what is happening.Also, perhaps you can share the video as a youtube embed instead of a file to download? I think a lot more people will see the video that way.

I would have liked to see more process photos of how this is built. However, I'm guessing it's end of semester crunch time? Good luck!

HA! This scene encompasses how I feel during holiday time. Very nice.

Nice design. I like the visual screen output.

The addition of the dry erase top is a nice touch.

I've seen many box instructables this afternoon, but so far your pictures are amongst the nicest. :)

What color are you going to spray paint it?

This is a fun design for an automated garden. I like how the electronics are hidden on the thing he's sitting on and how the plant is growing out of his head.

I am unfamiliar. What is alarsi?

This is a fun take on the test tube vase. Thanks for sharing.

This is impressive. When I was in college I just bought some cheap furniture (or found it on the sidewalk).

Nice instructions. Do you have any process shots or a final shot of the box that you made?

You should make the main image for this project a picture of the finished box that you made. It will help people a lot to see what you actually made when browsing.

What were the other two boxes that you created?

Do you have any pictures of how to assemble it or what it looks like when it is done?

How does the "bed shaker" work?

Pixlr has not been an Autodesk product since April 2017, so any old stand-alone app with Autodesk branding is likely now unsupported.

It needs the light for calibration before every scan. So I can't simply permanently disconnect the light or it won't start the scan.

Your project was pending moderation to the contest. It has now been accepted.You can read about the changes here:https://www.instructables.com/topics/Important-Changes-to-Contests-May-1st/

Your project is already in the Big and Small Contest. You can only now enter it into one contest at a time:https://www.instructables.com/topics/Important-Cha...

Your project is not entered into any contests. Which contest were you trying to enter it into?

Since the original posters issue has now been resolved, I am closing this thread.

I had a lot of the stuff already on hand, but I am guessing that if you had to buy everything needed it would probably cost somewhere in the range of $300 - $500. You may be able to get cheaper materials than I link to if you shop around.

Burning coal will help eliminate all of the ice in about 100 years... ;)

I've been wanting to pick up a wood threading kit like Jonathan uses in this Instructable.

I just thought it would be fun to experiment with. Maybe make some light-duty furniture or a lamp. I don't really know, but I think there is some possibility there.

Do you have a picture of that saw? I'm curious to see what that looks like?

Nice job! I might have missed it in the instructions, but do you have any pictures or diagrams of how it all comes together?

It would be cool if the ballerina was attached to a servo motor and moved along with the music.Also, you can find Atari Punk Consoles on this site also. ;)https://www.instructables.com/id/Atari-Punk-Console-Synthesizer/

You should program it that it takes a random number of quarters to unlock. You'll make more money, and potentially make it slightly more secure. People might be more reluctant to keep feeding the machine quarters if they didn't know how many it would require. Conversely, people might be more likely to use it if they think most people wouldn't want to feed an indeterminate amount of quarters into a machine.

Look forward to seeing assembly instructions.Also, are you going to post any video of it in action?

This seems like a really impressive feat of engineering for a silly cause, which is fantastic.

Cool robot. Did you have a specific goal in mind for building with such large wheels relative to its frame?

How does the generator work? What can you do with it? Does it produce a lot of electricity?

I think some of your images are sideways. This is a cool model. What do you do with it?

What happens when you remove it without lifting it?

This is a fun-looking project! You should tell us all a little bit in the intro about why you made it, other than it was for school. Surely you had a reason for making this out of all things. :)Anyhow, it is a cool project.

I could use this. My bathroom scale currently has a sense of humor, but not in a good way. Wump wump.

That button is to download the instructions you see in your web browser as a PDF file. That feature is only available to pro members.However, as a regular member you can view all of the instructions on this site online for free.

Nope.

Ohhhh.... That's an interesting idea. I will investigate if that might work with this one. Thanks!

That's a cool camera effect. I wonder what it would look like at a high speed or as some sort of time lapse.

That was my initial plan, but on testing it, the light from the scanner really took the saturation out of the image. However, the plastic I was using maybe wasn't the best. I might try it again with proper ground glass, but I have not gotten to it yet since I couldn't find any pre-made at that size and it seemed like a bit of work. Instead I got sucked into a vortex of planning an 8x10 large format scanner camera using a scanner in which I could turn the darned light off. I did a bunch of testing, bought half the parts, and now it is sitting on a shelf waiting for me to finish. :)

These are really cool. I love the simplicity of these mechanisms.
