Want to make your own Bluetooth Door Lock? Just yank out the stock electronics and toss in some custom electronics along with some code (that you can modify) and you are off to the races.  “To open the lock, we will use the app LightBlue. It has a section called the Sandbox, that lets you control the LightBlue Bean without having to program your own iOS app. When the LightBlue
 We all have thermostats in our houses but how often are they in a horrible place? You often want to place the temperature sensor in a different location than the control and display unit. There are lots of models that have remote sensor capability but they come with a high price. If you already have a thermostat and just need the temperature sensing to be disconnected from the
 Remember cassette tapes? These were small devices that held a spool of plastic covered in rust and allowed us to record audio onto, if you were brave you would even store your Commodore 64 programs onto them. This Cassette Tape with Hidden MP3 Player project looks just like a Cassette Tape but has a Hidden MP3 Player inside to allow you to hold a full case full of
There aren’t much details on this Spooky Automatic Halloween Door Knocker project by WAGfilms. But just by looking and his brief description we can get enough info to build our own. I think this is a great project idea that can be used for more than just a cool Halloween prank. He is using an Arduino Pro Mini as the brain of the system and it runs off some
If you need to keep track of the location of some things like your car or your service workers you can sign up for a service that uses cell phones and GPS or you can use the APRS which stands for Automatic Packet Reporting System. Jim Whiteside demonstrates how he is using a Raspberry Pi to gather data, decode it and plot it on a map. Since the service
If you are looking for a new desk clock, look no further than this Arduino based RGB LED Hard Drive Clock. Via: Dangerous Prototypes “Used material: Arduino Uno, Tiny RTC modul, ULN 2003, IR diode and IR transistor (used like a sensor, more details in next steps) 4 pushbuttons (for controling the clock) TSOP4838 (allows us to control the clock with remote controler) Temperature sensor (DS18B20) RGB led
 If you are tired of waiting in a boring bus shack waiting for your bus I bet you wish the guys from Norwegian Creations pimped your bus shack! “The system consists of a Raspberry Pi running RetroPie and a (somewhat modified) Makey Makey. Because the controls needs to be available for the users they need to be somewhat environmentally sealed. Therefore, by using a Makey Makey and some aluminium tape,
