This Picaxe microcontroller project looks great, there is lots of technology packaged into that tiny ping pong ball. Have a look at the PongSat initiative for more information on the purpose of the device. "A PongSat is an experiment that fits inside of a ping pong ball. These ping pong ball ‘satellites’ are flown to the edge of space by balloon or launched in sounding rockets.The PongSats are then
Great job on the Hard Drive Clock and thanks for the mention about the clock that I built. 🙂 "The clock works by removing the top of the hard drive and cutting a slot into the platter. Then lights are mounted underneath and flashed as it spins. By timing it right you can create the illusion of clock hands, color bars or other designs. I have quite a few
This LED Dragon looks fantastic. If having it multi-color wasn’t enough it is even animated! "Two white leds on the bottom will light up the Dragon. For each flame layer I reserved a single red led. After getting the proper resistor values from the LedCalc I was ready to light the design up. The lighting sequence is the same as with the Intel Inside logo. First the small flame
I haven’t seen anything like this Mossalibra, Interactive Dance Game before. It is an interesting concept that could catch on if some venues think out of the box and try it out. "Mossalibra is an interactive game installation, operated solely by intuitive human gestures. While dancing to surrounding music, the user (represented in pixelated form as a pure gesture) can mimic a given set of gestures in order to
If you like laser projects this one looks quite well done. "This is one of my experimental Dance/Trance songs from 2000. I build laser systems for fun so I have put together pictures and clips from assembly to a full working system to go with the song. I know the song gets really annoying after awhile sorry. Iv’e been getting a lot of email asking how the projector works
We have seen lots of Projector Screen hacks over the last few years, this one demos the power of the system quite well. It doesn’t take much hardware to provide some fantastic results! The video game gun use is a natural extension of the technology. "The basic idea is really simple: a program running on the PC will process the images viewed from the webcam, find the position of
This Basic Stamp Microcontroller Based Garage Parking Assistant may be overkill for the application but that is what makes it fun. 🙂 What fun would it be to hang a tennis ball from the ceiling when you can use technology to give you a traffic light that represents your optimal parking distance. "The Garage Parking Assistant makes it easy to pull in the garage by signaling you with a
