Check out this DIY Android Portable Media Player that the guys over at The daily life of a DIY person put together.They took a cheap FM radio and hacked in an Android device to make it into a very functional media player. This reminds me a bit of the Chumby. I could see using this to listen to a podcast before going to bed and waking me up in
Instructables member ganglion from England installed some LED stair lighting on his stairs. He built a custom DIY circuit that allows the lights to be dimmed. To make things a bit simpler he decided to only light every second step and simply run the wires on the edge of the stairs from top to bottom. We have seen other stair lighting systems like this one that have the wires run in
This Temperature and Humidity Sensor Project was built by Dave from Plastibots. The project was made to determine if Dave and his wife needed a new humidifier. Instead of going to Home Depot and purchasing a humidity meter he did what any resourceful geek would do, he built his own meter. This meter is probably more accurate than most store bought devices also thanks to the  Sensirion SHT11 sensor that
My daughter wanted to make a custom shirt, the first thought I had was to use the laser cutter to cut out the pattern and letters that she wanted on a piece of card stock to use as a template. The issue with that was the edges were hard to keep close to the shirt so that the painted edges were crisp. It also took a long time since
Taking pictures of the sun can be hard since it is so bright. This video shows how the reflective material that CDs are made from can work as an effective solar filter. “A CD is a fairly simple piece of plastic, about four one-hundredths (4/100) of an inch (1.2 mm) thick. Most of a CD consists of an injection-molded piece of clear polycarbonate plastic. During manufacturing, this plastic is
 This is a cute Micro Arduino Robot actually has a ton of on-board computing power. It isn’t using much of the programmability that the Arduino affords yet but the sky is the limit. This tiny robot uses a sophisticated distance sensor that is used to avoid obstacles, I can see this little thing being able to map a room or run a maze in the near future. Via:
 With some wood, string, a motor and a few various hardware parts you can build a Home Made Inexpensive Motorized Camera Slider. This will let you get some of the cool shots that you see in the movies and will give your product shots the added touch to make them rise above the rest! Daniel Colvin just built this and documented it so that everyone can make one.
