This project is all about Measuring Gas Consumption using a Camera Phone. Who knew you could use the built in camera from a phone to watch for fire! Every second a determination is made if fire is present, when it is a database on the phone is updated with the fire activity which will later be retrieved using Bluetooth to calculate gas usage. "I wanted to measure the gas
Didn’t think a laser could retain this much power after traveling through many inches of water. But it looks like this 150mW laser somehow managed to do it. The target is flash paper, not regular paper which may have a bit to do with it but it is impressive regardless! Anyone think this is not real or staged somehow?
Have a look at this Robot that is built on an iRobot platform. Have a look at the number of sensors, this thing has lots of computing power since is uses the Propeller microcontroller from Parallax. "This is an iRobot Create fitted with a Robot Arm I pulled from an old Radio Controlled vehicle. It uses a Propeller Protoboard and motor controllers and accelerometers from Parallax to control the
We have seen some decent sized miltitouch systems in the past but this Multitouch Table by NUI is huge! I guess when the project is worth 60 billion dollars like the Cityscape Abu Dhabi nothing but the latest and greatest display will do. "NUI successfully conceptualized, designed, built and delivered a customized interactive multi-touch solution, which was demonstrated at Citscape Abu Dhabi 2008, the International Property Investment and Development
The Robocut is an interesting lawn cutting robot. It is great because you build it yourself and it’s powered by a Parallax Stamp Microcontroller. Just like iRobot did for the Roomba, RoboCut has the ability for the purchaser to play with the design and come up with their own idea for the system operation. Have a look at the circuit board below, there’s even a small amount of prototype
Book automated systems have a similar look but this Automated Book Scanning Robot called ScanBot seems like the scanning system it uses may be one of the best. It appears to use a vacuum to hold the page firmly against the moving scanning head. I wonder if it ever flips two pages at once? "The book scanner ScanRobot® has been developed for the digitization of huge book inventories. The
Just because the Xbox360 Chatpad wasn’t designed to work with the PSP doesn’t mean that some creative and skilled people can’t make it happen! The PSP Phat and Slim Keyboard is proof of that. "Hey all talk a look at my Microsoft Xbox360 Chatpad connected to my PSP Phat and Slim. Thanks to Jean over at ps2dev.org and this project that he developed we can all have nice keyboards
