Dazaro3 shows us how to make a Tiny Surveillance Spy Bug in this video. Dazaro3 makes the PCB using the toner transfer method. Since the board is very small (9mm X 9mm) and the parts and even smaller assembling the thing looks very difficult! The result is a super small device though. “Parts used: Home made PCB ,9mm X 9mm SMD 2N3904 transistors x 1  (All capacitors and
 If you are looking for a new remote platform Carambola might work for you. The Carambola Core is a small module that is only 35×45 mm (larger if you use the development board), open-source and Linux friendly. It allows for simple wired and wireless networking capabilities to connect to everything around you. This Remote Controlled Car takes full advantage of this to allow this car to be driven

If you like pixel art or want to see some of the 80’s video game graphics again the PIXEL Interactive LED Art Mirror might be for you. The project is a continuation of the Haunted Mirror project that we saw before, Al Linke has started a Kick Starter for this one and the funding goal has been met so you can pledge one there and get one. “PIXEL Guts
 Pendulum clocks are wonderful works of art but they aren’t always the most accurate time keepers. Keith, who we featured back in 2009 for his Servo Guitar has built an automated solution to keep pendulum clocks in time. He uses a hall effect sensor to monitor the pendulum swings. An Arduino circuit is configured to count the number of transitions on the AC power supply that feeds the
Looking for a new powerful development environment to hack together some quick powerful projects? Have a look at the Espruino. It is a JavaScript Interpreter for STM32 ARM Microcontrollers which will let you get up and running fast because there is no IDE running on your computer. Just connect to the device and start programming. The pricing looks very attractive also. Thanks for sending in the tip Gordon. “How
There are some projects that provide you with hours of enjoyment. This Color Organ is one of those types of projects since you can play different songs and watch the dancing colors. Ledartist goes through all of the parts needed for the project and some of the issues in developing the circuit. Hearing about problems is great since you can learn what not to do without going down the
