Remote (IR) controlled serving robot made from an IKEA trash can. Phase two is polishing all electronics and design choices.
github link: coming soon (when PCB is finalized)
Tindie link (buy the PCB): only if you want the rev2 board which has some issues.

![Cherry Mx / Gateron Breakout PCB. Easily Add Cherry Switches to Anything
Cherry switches are almost the best tactile button you could ask for. Mounting them isnt quite as easy as a standard round panel-mount button. This PCB breaks out four keyboard (Cherry/Gateron) switches [buttons] with common ground into a standard 5-pin JST connector similar to arcade joysticks.

![Automated Small Parts Counting Machine with Arduino
A machine that counts and sorts set quantities of parts into individual cups- to replace a human [me] doing this repetitive task. Machine is automated. Once turned on it will count the predetermined set of small nuts (#4-40, #6-32, and #8-32) until completion. This machine is very early in design and inherently also very time consuming to develop. Just sharing my ideas to help other DIY-ers that may have the same redundant task of counting parts.
Weighing parts (the crimp connectors) is always an option, but I am trying to automate the task as an end goal, so counting seemed like the correct first step. Its a learning process.
