"Arduino-Powered Kinetic Sand Table Revolutionizes Remote Control"
A DIY enthusiast, [NewsonsElectronics], has created a mesmerizing kinetic sand table powered by an Arduino and controlled by a single CNC shield. The project, which began with a simple coffee table, involves intricate design and the use of a laser cutter to create the necessary parts. Stepper motors drive magnets that guide a ball bearing through the sand, creating captivating patterns. The creator also explains how to run the table with minimal GRBL code on an Arduino, optimizing the g-code generated by Sandify. The build process and demonstrations are available in a series of videos.
