Useless Box: Advanced Useless Machine That Does Not Want To Be Bothered (Arduino)
Ғылым және технология
This Useless box just wants you to leave her alone! Lets find out who is more stubborn!
This is my the ultimate diy most useless machine on the planet - advanced edition :) It is basically a Self-Switching-Off Robot which switches itself off then you turn it on by flicking any switch. It does not want to be bothered. Please leave him alone.
OCD cat in a box :)
Are you ready for the battle with this incredible device?
I built it from scratch. I used an old Inkjet printer, peeled off everything that I did not need and use it as as a mechanism for moving the arm left and right. A servo motor for moving the finger and arduino plus some electronics to control everything. I put everything in a nice wooden box.
Pointless box, for the best fun you can have :D

You are a genius. Getting people all anthropomortphic about a box. Name the box please.
lol the grumpy robot don't want to be bothered
that thing is so useless lol, i love it
I think the programming should be changed so if all switches are flipped on at the same time the unit stops trying to turn them off. Once one is manually turned off the unit goes back to work.
once you defeat all the useless machines from those weird videos, this is the final boss you must face

Very good, but not perfect. We should optimize the PID controller together.

Hi, I don't have any tutorial, I have built it by using what I got at hand. I think that I used Arduino Nano as well. I might have the code somewhere too, but it is not very neatly put together. You could send me an email (on my youtube channel in my about page) and I can send you the code and some photos of the machine if it will help you a bit.

Hmmmm, wonder what happens if all the switches were set to on at the same exact time, like, by using a yard stick or something.

It just starts to flick all the switches, starting with the nearest switch to the current arm position. It always chooses the shortest path to the next switch.

Sorry I have no plans for this one. It was built without a single drawing. Even if I had plans for it, they would probably be no good for you, since it is made from recycled inkjet printer and every printer is differenty made and uses different motor and position sensors.

Pretty cool. But I really would like to find one of the original models that Spencer Gifts used to sell. Simple smooth black box with one switch on top. Flip the switch, and the box made strange noises, the lid -slowly- lifted, and a small green hand -slowly- emerged and -pulled- the switch off, then quickly retreated and the lid slammed shut. All these modern versions work too fast, and they all -push- the switch. More robotic, than spooky. Still, I like your variation.

Hey, thanks! I don't know where useless machine can be purchased. But when you build it yourself, you can program it to behave just as you like it. Although more complex movements take more time t program than simple "robotic" ones. I kept it simple in my version, so it is faster to reach all the switches.
I a. Surprised you didn‘t make a machine pressing these buttons for you
