In this tutorial, MAKE teaches us how to build one at home using cardboard, aluminum foil, an Arduino, and some basic parts from RadioShack or any other electronics store. Image via makeprojects.org First, use spray glue to attach the aluminum foil to the cardboard, making sure to leave a gap around the edges. Assemble the cardboard pieces so that they form half of a cube. Image via makeprojects.org Cut three, two-foot-long pieces of shielded cable, stripping off the insulation. Connect an alligator clip to each inner signal wire. Images via makeprojects.org On the other end, twist and solder the three inner wires together and connect the resistors. You can find a schematic on the project site. Image via makeprojects.org Connect the resistors to pins 8, 9, and 10 on the Arduino, then connect the red wire to the +5V pin. Once the Arduino is connected, attach the alligator clips to the cardboard, making sure they have good contact with the foil. Image via makeprojects.org That's it for the build. Visit the project page for information on how to calibrate and run the software. Check out the video below for more details and to see it in action. Please enable JavaScript to watch this video.
