Handheld CNC Router

Faire: Bay Area

Maker: Cameron Chaney

Home: California, United States

I'm showcasing my DIY Handheld CNC Router project! It's a portable CNC router for precise 2D cuts on the go. Users move the router roughly along a pre-set path, while the bit adjusts to compensate for user error. Sensors detect the router’s position and orientation relative to the workpiece, then shift the cutting bit as needed. Unique to my design, positioning comes from optical flow sensors embedded inside the device – like those in computer mice. This simplifies its use and enables precise machining without prior setup. I've also implemented advanced control systems for stability and precision. While this started out as my Mechatronics capstone project, I am still developing the technology and hope to eventually bring open source Handheld CNC Router kits to the public.

Building machines to explore cell behavior

Faire: Bay Area

Maker: Wallace Marshall

Home: California, United States

We usually think of learning and decision making as something that only animals with brains can do. but even single cells can perform a surprising array of apparently purposeful behavior, and can even show basic forms of learning. We have been building homemade devices, controlled by arduinos, that use stepper motors to deliver calibrated stimuli to cells, allowing us to monitor their response. Using these homebrew devices, we can show that cells are able to learn, and do simple experiments to explore how they learn. In this demonstration, visitors will be able to operate the devices using buttons and switches, and see the effects on cells in real time under a USB microscope. This project shows that with a few electronic parts and an arduino, you can build equipment in your garage th
