If you are looking for a display on the go this new Kickstarter will be of interest to you. It is an interesting collapsible display that uses a short through high power DLP projector to get the job done. It has already tipped so this will become reality. Until a paper think color roll up display is available this will be the next best thing. “SPUD is the only
The Post Apocalyptic Inventor got his hands on some cheap Yamaha audio gear. He took apart the receiver with the hopes to troubleshoot and repair the unit. Unfortunately a cap had spilled it’s guts and leaked all over the PCB corroding it very badly. It would be possible to repair but it would take a long time. If that wasn’t bad enough many of the main high power (expensive)
If you are looking for a project build that can probably be put together with some items out of your junk box and about $10 in parts. The main drive for the system are the motor units from 2 old DVD drives. An Arduino controls the system. “components used 1. 2x old PC DVD Writer 2. Arduino nano 3. Small servo motor 4. L293D 5. Zero PCB”
Long range data transmission can be useful. There are lots of options out there but the cheap nRF24L01 modules with an external antenna can work wonders. iforce2d has done lots of testing with a nice DIY rig. He has a stationary transmitter and a receiver mounted on his car, the car rig has a GPS and SD card modules to that he has the ability to record the

Robotic automation is great. Set and forget, once dialed in this system will create parts that are identical and not complain about coffee breaks. Love the creative jigs that enable the robot to handle materials that might not be placed with high precision.
Techmoan got his hands on a few SX-64 Computers. This is the portable version of the C-64 that everyone loves. He needed to do a bit of repair but in the end he got 2 working machines. They are still going for a good price since these units are still rare compared to the regular C-64 but you can find them for sale if you look hard enough. Teamed up with
