Want to control an army of robots with the sound of your voice? Well have a look at this Speech-Controlled Arduino Robot for a good head start. Carlos Asmat has done a great job with the video that shows how everything goes together. “For this project, I used the DFRobotShop Rover (a mobile Arduino kit), the VRbot speech recognition module by Veear, two XBee modules, an Arduino Uno, two XBee

I could have used this in junior high when I forgot my combination and needed to get my lock cut off. There is a mechanical spinner and a puller, the rest is all PIC microcontroller code. “The PIC was required to interface several hardware components to crack open a MasterLock with our LockCracker. The PIC

Our friend Pete Mills has built an interesting visual project, it is a DIY Spinning Mirror Laser Light Show which was built into a cigar box. If you are wanting to make your own Pete has made the code available, this could be made without a controller but in this design a ATMega328 allows this project to be very powerful and flexible. “When a mirror is mounted on a motor
Using some colored sharpie markers this Phlat Printer is able to print a great looking image! “Check out the cool new Sharpie Attachment originally designed by fellow Phlat Club Member scraighamilton for the Phlatprinter 3. Here we color the queen of spades. It’s going to be awesome coloring the graphics on our planes before the Phlatprinter cuts them out. “
At first glance you would think this was a normal remote control vehicle with two wheels but you would be wrong because the rotating wheels aren’t actually touching the ground. This Angular Momentum Experiment by from JCOPRO.NET shows us the results of some experiments made from some scrap parts and some household items.
