MIT DOMO Robot
The people over at MIT are at it again, check out this cool robot. “Domo is a new upper-torso humanoid robot at the MIT CSAIL Humanoid Robotics Lab. It is the doctoral work of Aaron Edsinger. The goal of Domo is to contribute a novel approach to robot manipulation in unstructured environments. The approach is centered on integrating compliant and force sensitive manipulators into a behavior based architecture that
USB Electric Barbeque
You can’t create very much resistive heat using a USB port. This all changes when you have 30! Barbeque anyone? “Because you did the last time with just the USB1 port, it failed, but if it tries thinking, don’t you think? there is no reason which can do the fried egg by the electric power of 2.5W. If is it should have increased simply it is not? With being the
PIC18F2550 Oscilloscope
You too can build a small very functional PIC scope! Steven from Semifluid.com has gone all out with this creation. Check out his site for the project source code. “Using the PIC18F2550 GLCD Text Test as a basis for further experimentation, I put together a simple and accurate graphical oscilloscope using a PIC18F2550 microcontroller and a AGM1264F graphical LCD. The oscilloscope measures the average voltage, the maximum voltage, the
Coil Gun Project
Wiess from Denmark is a new Hacked Gadget Forum member who has a great web site with many interesting projects. Unfortunately the text is not in English and it doesn’t play nice with my translation programs. Wiess may be kind enough to offer a short English overview is there is enough interest. As far as I am concerned a picture is worth a thousand words!
Taking a Blowtorch to a Hard Drive
Concerned about data on your old hard drives?

Monitor Stereo
Chris Rybitski has converted an old monitor into a cool stereo display that uses LEDs. “My friend, Jeremy Worley came to me with a car stereo and an idea. He wanted to use the car stereo as a normal stereo because motorized faceplate no longer worked. We settled on an unusual case, but in the end it worked out well…”
