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
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
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.
We all hate moving. I can still remember moving a huge metal desk up two flights of stairs when I was living in an apartment. Ever opening from doors to hallways seen to shrink and all of your furniture seems to be twice the size you remembered. What would you do if you were hired to get a Porsche Panamera up to the 94th floor of the Shanghai World
When you are making DIY printed circuit boards, one of the popular methods requires UV exposure. Many systems use lamps that can give off lots of heat and be expensive to replace. Djhamer has provided plans to make a UV LED system that is double sided so that you can expose double sided PDBs without having to flip and repeat half way through the process. "A UV exposure box
Remember the Glyph tracking technology that we showed you a few months ago. Well have a look at what BMW is now doing! BMW will allow you to design your car in front of your computer which isn’t anything special but now you can also virtually spin it around in a 3D environment and look at it from every angle just by moving a printed sheet of paper around.
This project turns a old VHS Tape into a USB storage drive. It looks like a normal VHS cassette tape except for the USB cable that sticks out of the shell. All of the project guts are hiding in the areas around the clear windows so that when you have a quick look at the front of the tape all seems normal. When plugged into a computer the VHS
