Mike Szczys from Hack a Day built this great low res 1 Pixel Pacman game. If you had fun playing video games from the 90s you would love this. It is a classic game of pac man built around a 32X32 RGB Pixel display and is powered by a Teensy 3.1. Â “The hardware and software running the Smartmatrix made the display portions of the project really simple. First off,
This origami robot starts as a flat sheet, once heated the origami magic starts. Within a minute the robot folds itself to life. Once the structure is done it is ready to get to work. Thanks to a small built in magnet some external electrical fields allow the robot to vibrate around and get to work. It is very insect like in its movements and can actually get some
The Sensorian is a Sensor Shield for the Raspberry Pi. There is a Kickstarter that still has 24 days to go and is less then 2K from tipping. So if you like developing with the Raspberry Pi and need something to monitor possible input I can think of this might be the shield for you. The device can detect ambient light, temperature, pressure, altitude, motion, magnetic fields, capacitive touch,
Can’t wait till this style of delivery method is available. Tested had a first hand look at the Google Project Wing Delivery Drone Prototype. Not that it will have a direct replacement for things such as pizza delivery since the payload needs to currently be quite small but the flight and delivery method is great. Scaling these up to handle larger packages would make it great for package delivery
If you have one of these classic Nokia phones in your desk you might want to put it to use. Via: EEVBlog Forum “I am making an Arduino shield to interface with old Nokia phones. I’d like to keep the price around $20 for the shield, cables, and phone. If I can get some software help from the community, this will be great for interfacing projects with the internet.
This Meter Clock uses a DS1307 RTC and Trinket Microcontroller to show the current time in style. The meters are PWMed into position directly from a few pins of the Trinket. The meters are ammeters that have had their scale replaced by Hour and Minute scales. You can see the scale adjustment calculated below, another alternative would be to do it in code as I did with the Multimeter
TraxxAlu has a nice RC Airboat and Truck.  Watch this cool video where the RC Airboat gets stranded and needs to be rescued. Best of all it is all done remotely using FPV. I can see this working full scale quite well also!Â
