This Wicked Lasers Photonic Disruptor is some piece of equipment! If you are needing a laser to do power point presentations have a look at some of the other laser pointers that Wicked Laser offers, if you are looking for a non-lethal weapon then this may be for you! Watch the Future Weapons video of the Photonic Disruptor in action to get a sense of how it operates. “The Photonic
I can just imagine how much fun Andrew Hundt, Boris Lipchin and Ned Fox from Carnegie Mellon University had creating this Wiimote Lego Tank Surveillance Robot. “This robot is composed of Legos and uses a handyboard as the control hardware. It has 4 wheel drive each controlled by a lego motor, and a pan tilt mount for directing light and the video camera. The Wii Remote talks to a
These are probably some of the most expensive clocks around. 🙂 I would love to have a Robot Arm Clock in my living room though. “The robot arm is probably the most mathematically complex robot you could ever build. As such, this tutorial cant tell you everything you need to know. Instead, I will take shortcuts and just talk about the bear minimum you need to know to build
Pyrofer has made a new PIC project, this time a bit of extra processing power was needed so the PIC chip was overclocked. The resulting Stereoscopic 3D is fascinating. “I needed a viewer that would present each image to each eye independently while maintaining focus and positioning. For this I took my previously dismantled 3D tomytronic game. Each LCD (128×160×8) as sat in the viewfinder aligned so each eye
Chris Anderson was lucky enough to visit the Google campus and took some arial pictures with a digital camera mounted to an RC plane. To enhance the picture taking capability of the rig he decided to make a gyro stabilized system to mount the camera onto. Video after the jump. “The secret ingredient is an off-the-shelf “heading hold” gyro made for a R/C helicopter. These can be found for as
Next time you walk over to your coffee maker to turn it on jut imagine the time you could have saved if you had a Internet Enabled Coffee Machine. 🙂 “The goal of our implementation was to make the machine useable in both standalone and Internet connected modes. This means breaking into the push buttons and interfacing with the status LED. However the PCB within the machine floats at MAINS
This interesting iRobot PosterBot demonstrates that with an open mind some electronics and a bit of code you can build just about anything. Videos after the jump. “This is a moderately difficult project which requires about $50 in parts and basic electronic skills (This doesn’t include an iRobot create,Command Module and old Inkjet printer) . You should be able to read a schematic and make a basic prototype or bread
