Welcome
This is homepage of ham radio station oh5hba. Info about me and my station, which may interest other ham operators can be found thru menu. This page contains links that I use often in my everyday life. Reason for this site is just for own fun and it helps to find important things when i’m not at my own computer.

- When you buy a 3D scanner, it will probably come with a turntable to spin the subject part and help you get a consistent scan from all sides. But almost all of those turntables are flimsy, shaky, and lack any fixturing provisions for parts, diminishing their utility. That’s why Chris Borge used an Arduino to […]
- That shiny new Arduino UNO R4 board that you got has quite a bit of power under the hood, thanks to its Renesas RA4M1 Cortex-M4 microcontroller. It has more than enough power to run games and one great way to take advantage of that is by building Szymon Kubica’s MicroBox handheld console. The MicroBox design […]
- When NASA or SpaceX launches a rocket, it is important for them to monitor the real-time local weather conditions to adjust parameters or even delay until conditions are more favorable. Model rocket launches are just as affected by weather — more so, in fact, because they have so much less mass. That’s why Markus Bindhammer […]
- Mark your calendars for March 27-28, 2026, as we come together for Arduino Days 2026 – our annual online event for everyone, everywhere. As we step into 2026, we embrace an exciting paradigm shift in technology, ready to explore the new world of AI. For the past two decades, Arduino has been a favorite of […]
- There are industrial robots, and there is Brian Brocken’s two-ton behemoth: an ABB IRB6400 capable of moving at least 150kg (330 pounds), thanks to partial hydraulic actuation. It is an absurd robot that a factory might use to put small engines in cars. So, it is an understatement to say it was overkill when Brocken […]
- PotPlayer is the rare VLC alternative that actually feels like an upgrade.
- These methods and features are built into devices you already own.
- I wish I would have known about this before I put my first PC together.
- I found an easy way to remove the apps I don't want but my manufacturer pushed anyway.

- What does a decade of dedicated makerspace programming in a public school district look like? Recently, we talked with Dain Elman, the Instructional Coach for STEM, makerspace teacher, and School Maker Faire coordinator at Gurnee District 56 Schools, about an hour north of Chicago near(ish) the Western shore of Lake Michigan. Gurnee District 56 is […]
- School City of Hammond, a school district just south of Chicago on the Illinois border, launched its first Maker-Faire to come together and celebrate the skills of students and staff. The theme was to celebrate a season of making to welcome in the holiday and winter season and provide an opportunity for the community to […]
- In a niche corner of the internet where creators still surprise audiences with real animatronics rather than CGI, Jesse Velez reveals the process behind the most impressive sci-fi props. The post Flying High: Using Drones to Inspire the Future Leaders of STEM appeared first on Make: DIY Projects and Ideas for Makers.
- Thursday, February 12, 2026 @ 4 PM Pacific Time Join Dale Dougherty and Steph Piper, author of the new Skill Seeker: Young Maker Edition activity and guide book, to explore how “skill trees” transform learning into a game that motivates young makers along their STEAM path. Inspire discovery in budding makers! “Skill trees” provide essential […]
