Hard Drive Clock based on the PIC18F2320 Microcontroller

  We recently featured some of the new hard drive clocks along with some links to some other designs. Turns out we missed one. AP Digital Light created a Hard Drive Clock which is truly a work of art. It uses a PIC18F2320 Microcontroller and a real time clock module from Spark Fun to keep things in sync. The result of his toner transfer method of board etching is about

Computerized Table Saw Jig

  Matthias Wandel came up with a wonderful solution to making accurate cuts on his table saw. Best of all this system was built from scrap parts from a junk bin. Watch the video to see this cool machine in action. Make sure you check out the rest of his wood working tips, tricks and projects here. "Going through my junk bin, I found a circuit board with 11 power

Robotic Drawing Car

  You may remember the CNC Hexapod Robot that was featured last year. This Robotic Drawing Car doesn’t carve its work but it rather uses a pen to draw. The brain is based on the At mega 16 microcontroller. A schematic and code is available on the site. Engligh translated project.
