We have seen KUKA Robot Arms turned into DJ music machines and ice cream machines but this F1 Ferrari Simulator is something else! Paolo Robuffo Giordano and colleagues from the Max Planck Institute for Biological Cybernetics in Tübingen, Germany are the ones behind this cool idea. Via: PopSci “The CyberMotion Simulator is basically a full motion simulator adapted to a racing car game. Players (or subjects, the researchers prefer to
We all know Airsoft to be a fun safe sport right? Airsoft guns shoot small round plastic pellets which can sting a bit but it’s all in good fun similar to a paintball. Kuba sent in a link to his Multi-Barrel Airsoft Machine Gun which is a bit more intimidating. There are going to be lots of tutorials on the site, a few are complete like this one. The huge
Kenneth Finnegan just completed a Bi-Color LED Clock project that is based on the TI MSP 430 Microcontroller. Thanks to the cheap development environment I think we will soon see many more MSP430 projects in the near future. Kenneth used a plastic single gang junction box and a cover plate as the project box, coming in at around $1.00 it would be hard to find a cheaper box to house
Just stick the barrel of the gun in your ear and pull the trigger. That is how you answer this Bluetooth headset. Not sure you could use this in many places though. We recently had a law pass where I live that made talking on a cell phone and driving illegal. It is legal to use a bluetooth device to talk though. I am thinking that this device would still
With this RGB LED Lamp Driver Board circuit you can make an ordinary light a bit more interesting. With the press of a button you can change the light to whatever color you like. An AVR microcontroller is being used to PWM the RGB LEDs. Video after the jump. “The lamp uses a single momentary button to switch (you need special drill bits to drill the hole in this thin
Thanks to Protostack for sponsoring the contest this week. They will be providing the winner a 28 Pin AVR Development Board ver 1.5 which was featured here earlier in the week. “This board allows you to quickly build Microcontroller circuits for 28 pin AVR Microcontroller such as ATMEGA8, ATMEGA48, ATMEGA88, ATMEGA168 and ATMEGA328. One half of the board is dedicated to the microcontroller, whilst the other half resembles our standard
Our friend JingleJoe from England sure does a great job of making new old things. This is a modern power supply but you would never know that by glancing at it. If this is the first time looking at his work make sure you check out the old 9 volt battery box project. Via: Hacked Gadgets Forum
