If you are looking for a dangerous project to work on you are in luck. This project could burn you and burn down you house. But who said fun projects were always safe? Matiah Shaman has full instructions for his Fire Glove on his youtube page. "It took me a while to figure out how to build this. I took apart many things that you should not ever
We know that you can make a cool clock scope, but have you ever seen a video game played on a scope? Well have a look at Scopetris! It seems that one scope manufacturer actually put the game in the firmware of the scope. "The two resistor ladders, interfacing ports on the AtMega32, were connected to an oscilloscope in X/Y mode. The position of the beam was thus
Matt Mets is on a quest to make lots of cool hacks day after day! This Arduino based Drum Loop Machine is simple but nice and clever. Using a bunch of scavenged parts (the best kind) and an Arduino microcontroller he has made a drum recording device that will play back the same sequence that was recorded into it. He provides will source code and a schematic of the project.
What a great idea to get some cool aerial pictures on a small budget. The uncontrolled flight aspect of the balloon adds to the excitement since no one knows exactly where the rig is going to go. With aerial RC plane videos everything is under control and there is little left to chance. As shown with this Berlin Balloon Project Launch the rig could not be located and it
PraeMortem shows off his X-Y Table that is made from some DVD players. Now is the time to get out some of those old CD-Rom drives to make your own. See the second video for the surface scanner that he made. Have a look at this coin scan result. "I´m trying to build a 3-axis cnc drilling machine. Having build up all the hardware by myself i used
Smilodon has found a great use of some LEDs!. To make the Etched Door LED lighting effect, the light travels from the edges of the glass and is not seen until it hits the etched portion. Using two LED colors really makes the end result pop! "I also used a 4 layer glass. Two outer layers of 3mm float glass and two inner layers of 3mm plexi glass where the
Want to make a cool project that uses one of those IR distance sensors that are found everywhere? Have a look at this Sweeping Radar System which has many uses. "The goal of this project is to create a working ir radar system. The system will only be required to measure close proximity at an angle of 90 degrees as seen in the example above. The range of system
