There is nothing better than fresh baked bread (well almost nothing). Only problem is that bakeries only make it once or twice a day so the warm and soft fresh out of the oven taste is hard to come by. That has now changed with this innovative Fresh Baked Bread Vending Machine, pop in some cash and wait a few minutes and out comes some freshly baked french bread.
Viktor has made a Spinning LED Activity Indicator. Just connect it to your hard drive LED output and watch the ring of LEDs speed up and slow down based on hard drive activity. The original Spindicator can be found here, and this was indeed the inspiration for this version that Viktor built.
Do you have one of those Michael Jackson gloves and looking for a new electronics project? Why not build this Arduino based Drumming MIDI Glove that you can use to get your beat on. Thanks Bruno “Parts List: 1x Arduino board with at least 4 analog inputs. 4x Small LDR Light Resistor (it costs $ cents and are very precise) 4x 1K Resistor (or any other by changing thresholds and
Dig out the old 386 and 486 desktop computers out of the garage we now have a use for them! Youtube user Fun to the Head has stuffed two 3.5 inch floppy drives and two 5.25 inch floppy drives into a vintage computer case, with the magic of a modern PIC microcontroller the system is able to come to life and play the drives as if they were instruments. Via:
Gauss Weapons are lots of fun because there is some cool science making them work. At first glance it doesn’t look like anything special would happen with the typical Gauss Gun setup. As each magnet/ball bearing chain is reached the energy and speed increases. The effect is stunning because there is no explosives or electrical energy being used, just some normal magnets and the Gauss Gun setup is all you
When you are laser etching some stuff there isn’t much contrast in the end result. There are rub on products that you simply buff off the excess. Only issue is you have a short working time before it is on everywhere for good. I am all about using products that you already own and didn’t know it could be used in a new and creative way. That is exactly what
Finding a case for your latest project is often a challenge. I am always on the lookout for a non standard case that could be re purposed into an electronic project case. I think my fish tank lights is about the best example I have of what I have done when there wasn’t a proper project case available. For another great example of using what is available for a project
