Complex Hacks

Raspberry Pi Zero Ambient Lighting using Hyperion

  If you want to jazz up your tv with an Ambilight system now might be the time. We have seen other systems in the past that were impressive but not as good as this system. This new system is still a bit kludgy but seems to work very well and is nice and flexible to work with most systems.

Poison Tap

  Samy Kamkar had built a device that is called Poison Tap. It is a Raspberry Pi Zero which plugs into the victims USB port. The device that looks like an Ethernet connection, your computer inherently trusts this connection and this is where the exploit starts. ” emulates an Ethernet device over USB (or Thunderbolt) hijacks all Internet traffic from the machine (despite being a low priority/unknown network interface) siphons and

Drone with 1000 Watts of LED Light

  1000 watts of light doesn’t sound like much. But 1000 watts of LED light mounted to the bottom of a drone flying overhead looks amazing. The video captured at the end of the video is stunning and the smoke scenes are mesmerizing.  

Robotic Building Automation

  Robotic automation is great. Set and forget, once dialed in this system will create parts that are identical and not complain about coffee breaks. Love the creative jigs that enable the robot to handle materials that might not be placed with high precision.

SOLAR Powered Plane

  Prometreus has a great concept here. This plane has autopilot and a camera to capture the trip. With a 6 hour 200km range you can certainly cover a huge area. “A SOLAR powered RC plane flies over 6 hours, only powered by the sun. The plane travels a distance of over 200km. It is self sufficient like the solar impulse system. ”    

Table Tennis Trainer Project

  If you enjoy table tennis this trainer might be a great next project. Thomas Mayer created this as his bachelor thesis project. Two Playstation CL-eye cameras are used to view the play area and track the ball. A project is then used to display game elements that the players can interact with to play many game scenarios. The game was created using VVVV which is a visual/textual live-programming environment for easy prototyping
