Have a master lock that you forgot the combination to? Samy Kamkar shows us how to get in with a nice little motorized combo lock cracking device “Combo Breaker is a motorized, battery powered, 3D printed, Arduino-based combination lock cracking device. It is portable, open source, 3D models provided, and exploits a new technique I’ve discovered for cracking combination locks in 8 attempts or less, but in an even
 The ICON A5 costs about $200K which is cheap by plane standards and with only 20 hours of flight time to get a pilot license needed to fly this plane I can see this open up a great new hobby for some. Here is hoping this is just the first step into making these planes cheaper and more accessible to the average Joe. Via: Wired “ICON A5 Amphibious
Jeremy Morgan built a Raspberry PI 2 Weather Station. It collects all of the data from the sensors and saves to to the cloud using a Google Drive spreadsheet which is accessed using a JSON file. Via: Electronic Lab “For this project you will need: Raspberry Pi 2 or Model B – (Get one here for $35!) AM2302 Temperature / Humidity Sensor BMP180 Temperature / Barometric Pressure Sensor
This teardown that thegeekgroup did reminds me of technology gone by. There are lots of variations of this. The one I used had a different type of ink ribbon cartridge it was a ink impregnated cloth that would auto recycle so your text would just get fainter and fainter over time. If you want to change the font you just replace the font wheel. I am surprised that there
I love how some scam products put so much effort into creating documentation and claims that you think there must be some validity behind them. Have a look at the inside of the Acoustic Energizer by IPC. Nice looking case, documentation looks impressive. As long as you don’t take a screwdriver to it and peek inside I am sure your music will sound better than ever. 🙂 “How does Acoustic Energizer
Great Scott used MIT App Inventor to get connected using Bluetooth from his phone to his project board. The board uses  some power mosfets to perform some extreme over heating of some low value resistors. These resistors then ignite some fuse cord which is used to light the fireworks!
Hobby King is doing their Beer Lift contest again. There are lots if great fun entries to watch! Lots of great successes and some failures. “It’s that time of the year again… it’s time to lift some beer! You’ve all seen this one before and it’s time to get your entries in. For those who haven’t experienced the HobbyKing Beer Lift it’s simple, the one who lifts the most
