Build A DIY Can Crushing Machine Powered By An Arduino

Video: Crushing cans against your head is great fun, but if you really want to impress everyone around you, doing so with a machine you build yourself is considerably more entertaining.

Over on Make, they walk you through building this DIY crusher, from writing the code to getting the actuator to work properly. The whole thing is pretty simple to build, and while it’s dreadfully slow, it’s still a project that’s going to teach you plenty about how all these components work together. Plus, it’s just fun to crush stuff, even if it does take 60 seconds. Head over to Make for the full guide.
