 Remember cassette tapes? These were small devices that held a spool of plastic covered in rust and allowed us to record audio onto, if you were brave you would even store your Commodore 64 programs onto them. This Cassette Tape with Hidden MP3 Player project looks just like a Cassette Tape but has a Hidden MP3 Player inside to allow you to hold a full case full of
There aren’t much details on this Spooky Automatic Halloween Door Knocker project by WAGfilms. But just by looking and his brief description we can get enough info to build our own. I think this is a great project idea that can be used for more than just a cool Halloween prank. He is using an Arduino Pro Mini as the brain of the system and it runs off some
If you need to keep track of the location of some things like your car or your service workers you can sign up for a service that uses cell phones and GPS or you can use the APRS which stands for Automatic Packet Reporting System. Jim Whiteside demonstrates how he is using a Raspberry Pi to gather data, decode it and plot it on a map. Since the service
 If you are tired of waiting in a boring bus shack waiting for your bus I bet you wish the guys from Norwegian Creations pimped your bus shack! “The system consists of a Raspberry Pi running RetroPie and a (somewhat modified) Makey Makey. Because the controls needs to be available for the users they need to be somewhat environmentally sealed. Therefore, by using a Makey Makey and some aluminium tape,
The Raspberry Pi is a very powerful heart of many cool projects including this Raspberry Pi Model Train Controller by MrNotbuyinit. The description of the electronics starts at around 2:35. The prototype interface from the Pi is a simple breadboard which looks to be ideal for quick and easy additions and modifications. The Pi is interfacing with a port expander to get more digital outputs out of the Pi.
Kaptein QK from the EEVBlog Forum shows off his 3D Printed Wall Chain Clock. The clock uses a Arduino Nano for the brains but he opted to code it in C using the AVR Studio 6, the stepper motor is being driven using an L298N dual H bridge. You can watch the clock in action below. This is a great clock for glancing at to see what the approximate
 Thanks to Creative for sending in the Sound Blaster Roar for review. Right out of the box the quality of construction is evident. The feel of the buttons and switches is top notch, it should provide years of trouble free use. It is easy to pair it to your bluetooth compatible phone and get your tunes cranking on the Roar. If you don’t want to play music through
