You probably remember the Shock Clock from a while ago. Well this Zedomax RGB LED Alarm Clock is the oposite of that concept, I think it would be soothing to wake up to this clock… “Okay, we have seen some really cool Light Orbs while trying to make this Music Syncing Light Orb Alarm Clock. We started with Tod’s creation and soon realize that 1 LED will not be

Seems like anything can be built out of LEGO, even a crank USB charger! “This project describes how to build a hand crank Lego usb charger with parts from a Mindstorms kit and Radio Shack. The charger uses a Lego motor to generate current which is passed through a voltage regulator and then to the usb port. It would make a great stocking stuffer for anyone who uses devices that
This bike POV uses a PIC microcontroller to control 32 LEDs. The hand wiring and soldering on the back of the board is amazing, those are all surface mount components on a standard perf board! It uses a 16f628 chip and the source code has been provided. Update: Video added “The whole thing is based on a pic16f628A, with some SMD mosfets to power the led’s. Those are very
10. Microcontroller Christmas Music This project will allow you to create your own music using a microcontroller. “With Christmas fast drawing near, I thought it appropriate to create a project that has a festive theme and also shows what the humble PICmicro is capable of doing with a little imagination and the right tools. i.e. PROTON+ Compiler. Everyone and their reindeer has created Christmas projects in the past but most
Here is a cool project in development, it’s a joystick for the PC that uses accelerometers to to detect user input. It uses a CUBLOC 405 module for the brains and a Dimension Engineering accelerometer to sense movement. “Today, I was able to get a sneak preview of 6 Axis PC USB controller made by Garrett from scratch. It looks really cool, kinda like the Nintendo Wii controller and
Self balancing robots have become very popular in recent years. BBot will be at the top of the heap soon since it is soon to have Bluetooth capability and be able to balance on a ball. Have a look at the robot here, and if you are interested in making your own you can buy all the parts needed here. “The main objectives were: * integrate the motor driver
