Renkku is able to take some great action shots with this PIC AXE Microcontroller based High Speed Photography Trigger. The system is connected to a flash unit and triggers the flash as soon as it hears something. This makes the unit very flexible since it can then listen for almost anything. If you want to see more of these type of cool images have a look on Flickr. “I hacked
All speaker systems need a housing of some sort. Normally we see boring wood boxes with some holes cut in them so that round speakers could be mounted into them. There are a few companies who make some speakers which are not just boxes with holes such as the Bazooka Tube Subwoofers. Instructable user djairjr had an old vacuum cleaner which had reached the end of its life. After cleaning
Mike Szczys from Hack a Day shows us how to Programming Launchpad MSP 430 with Linux. The basic method that people use to program their Launchpad MSP 430 is a Windows box but for those on Linux there is still hope. “We’ll be working with Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx. When the Launchpad is connected to USB it is identified and mounted to /dev/ttyACM0. It’s not immediately apparent how to use
If you are into audio electronic projects have a look at this ECC802S Shunt Regulated Push-Pull Tube Preamplifier. One thing about these tube amp builds is that the housing looks just as nice as the circuit construction. Thanks Gio. “After the success with the various Odd Block amplifiers that used a SRPP (shunt-regulated PP) driver stage I started to do some research and modeling on a SRPP. The advantages of
If you have one of these View-Masters you might want to bring it into the modern day, have a look at this LCD Screen Hacked View-Master by Hackerconsortium. Thanks Tuttle “Long gone are the days of light shining through celluloid images on a disk… Long gone! Why this little feller here has Two, count them, 2 Colby 1.5 inch digital key chain picture frames lined up with each lens to
This is one very cool looking Propeller Clock Build! It is based on the ATmega324P and was programmed in BASCOM-AVR. There is more information in this forum post (translator needed). Unlike my Spinning Display project this one does not have wire connections to power the rotating section instead it uses induction to power the spinning section. Thanks for the tip Muris.
Our good friend Bob Davis has been doing some more high voltage tinkering. He has been working on another High Voltage Washer Launcher, this is a new and improved version of some of his past high voltage projects. If you are just looking for some explosive fun have a look at 4:35 and 5:45. I love the use of the safety broom. 🙂 “My old 8 capacitor power supply is
