My daughter seems to have everything that has a Hannah Montana brand on it but I haven’t seen this photocube yet. It’s probably a good thing since after reading about this Hacked Hannah Montana Photocube I would probably have it in a bunch of pieces on my workbench. "A 1Mb A29L800( datasheet ) flash chip and a micrcontroller hidden behind a big black blob along with the LCD, buttons,
This Household AC Power Monitor idea is similar to what I have wanted to do for years. Jason Winters has taken two clamp meters and connected them to both phases of his house electrical panel. This allows him to monitor the entire electrical usage of his house. He is collecting data and creating a spreadsheet to monitor usage over time. What I was thinking of doing was to install
Jestin Stoffel and Vince Thompson of the CCCKC have created a cool Wii Balance Board controlled Labyrinth Game which uses an Arduino microcontroller to handle some of the interface. "Currently the game is using two servos and an Arduino to turn the knobs that move the game surface. I bought my Labyrinth game at a Tuesday Morning store for less than $10. The servos were about $10 each and

If you want everyone to know that you are a true geek then you need to purchase (or make) some of these cool Recycled PCB Ornaments. They look good and help the environment! Not sure why there are no components on the boards though unless they get the blanks from a circuit board manufacturing facility but I think one with components would look more interesting anyway. "Decorate your Christmas
If you are needing to use your computer on the move why not hack it into a briefcase like imp558 has done. "The next step will be to install my device programmer so it just shows a socket and indicator, and some black paint on the monitor brackets. The monitor is safely behind a piece of Lexan but it’s hard to see. The reason for this project is that
The Cornell University ECE 5760 Advanced Microcontrollers Project fall 2008 results are up. This Ball-E colored ball following robot is just one of many cool projects. Cathy Chen and Matt Meister did a great job of documenting the project for us to enjoy! This year Bruce Land gave the students a Altera/Terasic DE2 FPGA development board to let their creative juices flow. "Our project’s goal was to create an
