How to Make a Fitness Tracker Tricker

This is how I made a machine to trick a fitness tracker (pedometer) into thinking you are walking without having to actually walk. It’s completely ridiculous but makes me smile.

  1. What software did you use for the circle template for the rotating spice rack? I want to make one 12″ with 1 7/8″ circles. I need to make a template for that

  2. This project is good for a laugh. It reminded me of one of those “useless boxes” where you switch it on and a little hand comes out and switches itself off.
