This Rock Radio would be a good match for the Granite Speakers that we saw before. What would be real cool would be a full set of components that were encased in cement, that way you could have a stereo system that no one could steal. For the high end finished look you could mortar the joints between your components. Thanks Guss. "It started of being a very nice
This CRISTAL remote system by the folks at Media Interaction Lab would be a welcome addition to any complex home theater setting. The intuitive ease of use is something that current remote controls can only dream about. Recently some remote controls have incorporated color LCD displays to attempt to allow additional functionality but it can only go so far. Now that projection technology has been dropping in price I
The guys over at Openschemes have hacked a set of Smart Tweezers to measure voltages. The internal DMM chip that was used in the Smart Tweezers has voltage measurement capability however it was never meant to be used. It also seems that even if you purchase one of these Smart Tweezers you should probably adjust the internal calibration pot to allow more precise measurements. "Disassembly of the MS8910 is
If your next office party needs a tiny amount of fun added you could whip up this cool disco ball. Yes, the same effect could have been created in about 5 minutes with no complexity but what fun would that be? "For fun, Sid created a disco-ball wired to a servo-mechanism by a switch. Then, added a microcontroller (from a WSNnode) and some helping FETs. Then, controlled the node

If you are into audio and kit building have a look at this cool JAN6418 Valve Preamplifier Kit Build. Not very many areas of electronics have kept tubes alive but this kit uses two of them as the heart of the circuit. "Oatley Electronics in New South Wales Australia makes a few kits based around the Raytheon JAN6418 sub-miniature valve (tube). These 6418 valves look like small Christmas Tree
If you have been thinking about making some of your own DIY LED lighting have a look at this DIY LED Tube Light project for some inspiration. There is lots of build details and tons of good pictures to get some great ideas. "The LEDs in the lamp designed are driven using a linear current regulator. The following is a parts list for this circuit. This website will not
