Tours are always interesting. It is great to see how others have put together assembly lines or come up with a way to automate the processing of a widget. The Hadron Collider is a project that is so complex and at a scale that is almost unbelievable. A select few got to go on a tour and lucky for us a group from Bad Astronomy recorded their experience! "The
This is a proof of concept project that contains lots of great code and helpful tips that could help us out when we are working on a similar Ethernet / microcontroller project. Project abstract (pdf) Entire Project Details (zip) The “Ethernet Picture Viewer” is a low cost device that allows a user to visualize graphic content stored on a computer in an LAN. A server application that runs on
The Revision 3 show Systm has been on and off since it was introduced many years ago. It looks like it’s now here to stay so we can expect to see videos on a regular basis. Patrick Norton will be joined by David Calkins which should make the shows very interesting and informative. This episode talks about installing a RFID lock in your bar fridge, the locking mechanism is
This car that drives on walls using a vacuum is a very cool concept. By using a internal vacuum pump this car can stick the a wall or ceiling and still have enough slippage that the wheels can drive it around. I am sure the designers had to work on the optimal level of vacuum for a long time. Too much and it would not move with the wheels
In this video David Martschinske learns how to ride the Self Balancing Unicycle. You might remember when this product was introduced. When are we going to see these everywhere? They are going to make an initial run of 10 for $1500 so if you want one you better act fast. "The SBU is an electric self-balancing unicycle. It controls the forward and backward balance while the rider balances left
This is a nice example of a DIY Propeller Clock. Great work on the surface mount components and home made board.
DrumDror3000 has constructed a very elaborate DIY drum system. Using PVC pipe, wood, sponge, rubber adnd some piezo sensors he is able to create electronic drum signals that his custom electronics is able to monitor and reproduce fantastic drum sounds. "As you will see in the video i decide to use PVC pipes and parts due to that the parts are some how like Lego, but it not so
