Seems like limos are getting more outrageous all the time. A stretched Hummer is no longer one of the coolest limos out there since the Tank Limo is on the scene. “So were about ready three crew and up to 8 passengers “cant wait to see the faces of the limo drivers in London as we track past them congestion charge exempt”, were all practicing the royal wave to taunt
If this shredding machine was installed in a few parking lots I think people would pay closer attention to parking signs. 🙂 More cool shredding videos after the jump.
Looks like this robotic hand is able to do almost anything that a human hand can do. The Tactile Robotic Hand is powered with Air Muscles which appear to be very strong and versatile. Video after the jump. “The Shadow Hand is the closest robot Hand to the human Hand available. It provides 24 movements, allowing a direct mapping from a human to the robot. The Shadow Hand has integrated
When building projects using a microcontroller there will come a time when you need to drive a load that exceeds the raw current capability of the device. Eric Wolf wrote a BJT Transistor article that will demonstrate how this can be done. “As you may or may not already know, typical TTL logic outputs on microcontrollers run in the range of 4.5 – 5.5 volts. Some microcontrollers, such as the
Kingjamez wanted a simple way to control his telescope. A Wiimote and some software ended up being the perfect solution for his automated telescope project. “At the Howard Astro League star party last night, I was showing off the moon to kids through a video camera. I wanted to pan around the moon to show the kids different parts of the surface. Since I was using EQMOD with no
I can think of so many applications where a tiny PC like this one could be used for. “The picotux 100 is the world’s smallest Linux computer, only slightly larger (35mm×19mm×19mm) than an RJ45 connector. Inside, there is an ARM7 CPU at 55 MHz running uClinux kernel 2.4.27 and Busybox 1.0. Two communication interfaces are provided, 10/100 Mbit half/full duplex Ethernet and a serial port with up to 230.400 baud.
Seems that the original Nintendo controllers have no shortage of usages. Zieak has created a mouse that uses the controller as a case. “If you are like me you get really excited when you find two Nintendo controllers at the Salvation Army. One was priced at $1.00 and the other at $.37 (i didn’t fight the pricing). Of course, they get home and meanwhile occupy a part of my brain
