Yemcube

Yemcube is the written companion to the Accidental Engineering video series. Every experiment shown in the reels gets a full guide here, so viewers can move from watching to actually building. The site focuses on projects made from old gadgets, inexpensive components and everyday improvisation.

Each guide lists the parts needed, approximate costs and whether soldering is required. Projects range from a Mac app that adds touch input to a laptop screen, to an ESP32-based bookshelf piano, an ad-blocking chip for the whole home, and a self-hosted photo setup built from an old laptop.

The site suits DIY hobbyists, students and tinkerers who want practical weekend projects without expensive equipment. Beginners benefit from the no-solder options and clear cost estimates, while more experienced makers can use the guides as starting points for their own variations.

Start with a project that matches the hardware you already own, check the parts list and cost before ordering, and follow the steps in order. Since guides are tied to specific reels, expect the library to grow gradually rather than cover every topic at once.
