Make it happen! is dedicated to DIY to its broadest sense. I enjoy the sense of accomplishment when I create something myself, so you can expect to see videos of me building from wood, metal, plastic, acrylic, adding electronics to my builds but also using various software tools, or maybe even cooking...
Some of the projects are practical, some of them are decorative, some are meant to prove a concept, and some are made to impress. I get inspired by the world around me and get enthused to make the ideas reality.
This channel is meant for me to share my projects but also to encourage the viewers to try to make something yourselves!

In the summer when my laptop actually shuts down i always óput ice cubes in a ziplock bag on me and than the laptop on that. Cools us both.
This video was so helpful! I've been trying to learn how to play audio with ardunio by watching many videos, but none were as successful as this one! Thanks! By the way, do you have any tips on increasing audio volume? (mine is fine, but not ideal for my requirements lol). I have a sound amplifier module but I am not sure if this is the best option.
Great build, I use to have a novelty pouring drink back when I was a kid. Though the can floated a good 12 inches from the glass giving a longer pour.
Great demonstration ✌
you should of make cooling pad with fan with i did my laptop is so much cooler now my cooling not working good ok but make my own my cooling fan i make for my laptop so good
This video is actually very informative and show how useless the cooler pads can be most of times
Buy Industrial cooling pad of at least 270 CFM or if they are not available, tape Desktop Cooling Fan.
If this would be safer it would be way more awesome, but the exposed battery on the back is a bit concerning
how can I boost the sound, I used 4 ohms, 3 watts
@jmsalvania4355 as I say, the speaker will not give more sound with this setup but some accoustic element will. Make a speaker box or some cone shaped thing to use as a type of megaphone
For all the people with sharp edges... Obviously it's safe, dude came up with an awesome idea so you can save some money. Just take the Idea and shut up. Leave stupid comments for yourself, if you like it build it if you don't like or are worried about sharp edges (which there's none) go buy a slide for 500 bucks. He's trying to help, be kind.
I just bought a used clothes iron at Goodwill for $5 and use that
I got to give it to you. You tried to do something about this and you did. My laptop shuts down when it gets too hot.
Thanks
Thanks For Making This video
please make a video where i2c eeprom is used to store the audio....
Nice vid bro when's a new one coming
when i put my oscilloscope on the pin 9 output, im not getting PWM, it just has supper small spikes in the wave up to 5v but only for a fraction of a microsecond. ive tried everything but i cant seem to get it to work
@serentynym3569 what arduino are you using? Google its pinout and make sure that pin 9 is PWM compatible. Next, write a simple code which continuously produce PWM signal to make sure the problem is not with the switch. The signal will be full scale (5 or 3.3V). Make sure you have ground of the oscilloscope connected, that you use the right channel, etc.
@@MakeithappenDIY i have a Nano, and i just checked and got a PWM signal and it works on Pin 9, working through both the oscilloscope and the speaker
@@serentynym3569 glad to hear that! 👍
@@MakeithappenDIY it worked with a sample of PWM not the proper circuit (testing the pwm to make sure that wasnt at fault)
@@serentynym3569 ok, I see. So might be that your button is wired wrong.
superb well done
do you need the 10 micro farad capacitor if you just using power source from the 9V plug or USB cable? because in my project i dont need extra power source
@HerrHafiz the cap is not essential. I talk about why it is useful in the video but you can live without it
Just close premiere and open it again then select the mast it will show again!
Try dry ice
my macbook air M2 offen become so hot, its hasn't fans ; i don't know if i using ice and place it at bottom of my laptop(not touching) ,will the coolair become water and condense in machine ?
Not sure if anyone else has had my issue, the mask outline was outside the preview area....had to drag it back into the preview. The bug was very frustrating
You summed up all things i need to know in one video , thank you very much .
I have one question : if i want to make it stereo not mono should i make audio parameters “ stereo “ and add another speaker with the same setup?
@@Anonymous-hd7en unfortunately it is not that easy. The software library cannot handle stereo, so if you encode is as "stereo" it will either not play anything or play some noise. And even if it did, the quality of this method is so poor that you could not tell the difference. The target aplication is simple buzzers or a couple word phrases. If you want to have good quality stereo, google "arduino audio stereo" and see what comes up. There are bound to be at least a few different methods!
Don’t you think if the box had a fan to blow the cold air up to the laptop. It’s not drawing enough air up I’d think.
@Itsmy2cent I don't know... my laptop has two fans sucking air from the bottom. My suspision was that the air just does not get cooled fast enough as it is sucked from the room, through the box and into the laptop. It would be interesting to have some coloured smoke to help visualize the air flow. What do you think?
@@MakeithappenDIY yea I’m not at all an engineer etc I just have thoughts lol. Would be cool to have a liquid cooled pad though. And great job on the idea. I’m too lazy
@Itsmy2cent i appreciate your input. Thoughts and ideas is where it all starts! A lot of the times i feel that is the hardest part
Hello, does anyone know if an 1W 8ohm speaker will work with this? Some people said this will fry my arduino
@yenterary3228 an argument can be made that if you put the speaker between an arduino pin and ground (it is the same as shorting arduino to ground through an 8ohm resistor), you will damage the arduino. 5V/8ohm is 625mA which is higher than max rated current of 40mA. But I hope noone is connecting the speaker like this! The video instructs using a transistor amplifier. The NPN resistor has a current gain of anything above 50 which means that the current into the transistor will be in the worst case 625mA/50 = 13mA. Also the current is pulsed so arduino can handle more than 40mA. So, I think you are safe :)
@@MakeithappenDIYIm halfway through your tutorial and im using an npn 2n2222A and that apparently has a current gain of 75v, even better
@yenterary3228 this number (75) is highly unreliable. You can buy 10 identical transistors and they all have a differen current gain. What is more, this number changes like crazy with temperature. just by touching the transistor with a finger you raise the temperature enough for the gain to change by ~10. In good circuits the current is set by resistors and kept constant with negative feedback so the current gain does not matter at all. But here I just show a simple circuit that anyone can build :)
@@MakeithappenDIY I see, thank you for your time! :D

The gaps in the boards section seem small, but you added the rope and things, and your children are small. Do they prefer one section, now they've tried them all out?
@treefarm3288 when they were just getting started they liked the rope net and the middle section which they just used as a ladder. As they grew, they wanted a challenge and opted for the climbing stones and the rope.
thankyou thats actually works
thanks!!
Awesome! This has worked more consistently than an other solution I've come across, thank you!!
Well actually you can add 2 cpu cooling fans at the back and add ice water so the cooling fans will suck air from behind and the laptop will suck air from the ice cooled water ... Actually i should do this hope this works our 😂
Brilliant!
didn't work :c
Hello! I ve been trying to do this and im kinda stuck. What should i do if by doing the led test on pin 9, the led blinks only once? Also, instead of using a speaker , im trying to use in my project a 3.5 mm jack instead. Any idea how i might be able to do that? I found a trrs jack module that might help Edit: succeded in making the led blink however i still dont get any sound. Perhaps its from the speaker? I have an 8 ohm 1 W
@deathknight99938 Hey, I am glad you can see data coming out of your Arduino now! It is hard for me to advise anything other to what the video already suggests. Make sure that your amplifier is wired correctly; the speaker you are using should be OK. As for the 3.5mm jack, it is essentially just a wire so it will work. Again, just make sure you wire everything correctly: connect the L and R channels to the amplifier supply and connect the ground of the 3.5mm jack to the collector of your NPN and this should be OK. Good luck!
Wow! Really Amazing.
If none of these worked for you, try moving the playhead around on your timeline. That worked for me!
Love you bro
should we use electrolytic capacitor or ceramic capacitor ?
It is hard to find electrolytic capacitors past 1uF so for power supply decoupling you normally see electrolytic capacitors. Having said that, it does not matter. For low frequency filtering both will perform the same. The diferences between different types show up in high frequency filtering were equivalent series resistance and inductance start to matter. Actually you might see sometimes in high quality audio circuits that power supply is filtered using 10uF electrolytic cap together with a much smaller ceramic cap in parallel. This is because electrolytic caps though great for low frequency filtering do poorer job filtering high frequency
@@MakeithappenDIY Ok thanks. I will use two 10uF electrolytic caps for miicrocontroller's power pairs
Can i use BC547B Transistor instead of NPN?
You should be able to use BC547B. Just make sure you get the pin names right. Note, NPN refers to the way the transistor is made (NPN or PNP) whereas BC547B is a name given by a manufacturer. I.e. there are multiple names for the different flavours of NPN and PNP transistors. BC547B happens to be NPN type so it will work.
@@MakeithappenDIY Hey thank you so much it's working for me !
i was just about to give up and reinstall, you saved me thanks bro
Are there instructions for the wood frame?
thanks, almost bought another iron but this seems very reasonable for me.
Damn, lots of time waiting for the right adapters. I hate that electronics depreciate so quickly. Great build
loveee it haha ur funny too 😻😍
Hi ! I'm struggling reproducing my file audio , I think because of the way you convert itself. I'm italian and the website you used is down so I'm very disappointed and I cannot find an audio converter that make me able to change bit resolution channel ecc. I think the problem is here but I don't know how to fix it. I wish you can help me and my project. Thanks
Hi! I have a link to my github page for this project in the description. It has a like.wav file under audio_samples. This is a converted .wav file I used for the video. Try using that. You will be able to confirm if the problem is with the conversion. Hope this helps! Good luck :)
omigod it really worked thank you!!!
thank u
Good video, thank you. I'm with you I can't bring myself to pay a ton of money when I can build it for a fraction of the cost.
Good one
This cost me $400 in repairs for my computer 😭
