Dick Cappels has made a DIY LC meter. As usual he has provided full schematics and code so you can build your own. “There must be half a dozen similar LC meters on the web. Why didn’t I just download one of them and use it? I suppose part of the answer is that I wanted to do some of it myself. As nice as these other projects are, I
Have a look at this laser light show! Guaranteed to get some attention… Video after the jump. “The main event of the GRL Rotterdam tour – ‘L.A.S.E.R TAG’ – 60mw geek graffiti madness. Watch the video here on the Graffiti Research Lab website. In the spirt of GRL’s and Eyebeam’s open source beliefs, we are posting the code and executable for the Laser Tag application online for you to download,
Someone needs to make a diy version of this. I would totally drive my car using brain power. Or at least send it to this guy to add to his car. “A monkey has a microchip in its brain which allows it to move a robotic arm as if it were its real arm.”
Windows Vista is going to have to take a back seat to the amazing OS effects that Ubuntu 6.10 Linux with XGL Kiba-Dock can perform. Watch the video and be amazed. I think Microsoft might have to hire some of the open source developers of they want to keep up… Have a close look at the video, the creator must be a Diggnation fan! Video after the jump.

You will have to put aside 5 or 6 hours to understand this project! Good thing is that it comes with a 115 page manual! I would bet that David is the first to publish plans for a DIY Laser Beam Analyzer. “The laser beam spot is the tool in laser welding cutting. Industrial lasers are really great, but there’s a huge problem when it comes to knowing the state
Remember the video we featured last week? Well the CoilOsapien (Robosapien Coil Gun) is done, look here for all of the details. “When the servo is activated it turns the disc inside the housing, with each spin it will pick up one BB and drop it into the firing chamber. The coilgun will need to be on a slight angle whilst reloading to allow the BB to roll to the
Looks like less is more when trying to master flight. This small helicopter is using a brain that is based on the brain of an insect! “As tiny as insect brains are, they can still perform extraordinary acrobatics in the air that human flying machines have yet to match. Now scientists reveal a miniature helicopter, with an electronic brain inspired by insects, that could help lead to better takeoffs, flights
