This Network Time Protocol Clock with Vacuum Fluorescent Display was built by pyrofer for his entry in the Hack a Day Contest. It is still a work in progress with many upgrades still in the works. The project uses a Spark Core which is an Arduino compatible board with built in WiFi. The clock uses the wireless internet connection to request time updates so you will never need to
This neat µVolume project by Rupert Hirst of RunAwayBrainz allows you to control your tunes with a nice big knob that uses a rotary encoder to get the user input. You can see the previous version in action below. Via: Electronics Lab “Features:              Arduino Compatible (Atmel Atmega32u4)              Manual volume adjustment using the rotary encoder              (IR) Infra red remote control of volume and multimedia controls.              Apple
 Cornell ECE 5030 students Uma Mohan, Sarvesh Sukhatme and Priyanka Venkatesh have designed a Portable Device for Measuring Hydration and Body Fat. The project passes a small current through the body to measure the amount of hydration in the person. A 940 nm LED is used to detect the amount of fat the person has by shining it through a part of the body, the amount of light
 This Arduino Go-Kart was built by gizzmotronics who is a 15 year old inventor from California. Lots of LED lights on this thing is sure to make it light up great at night. It needs a push start to get it going but once it is rolling the thumb throttle will get it up to speed. “The drive setup uses a Hobbywing Xerun 150A brushless electronic speed
 When you are making a new PCB design don’t you wish you could just print out the design instead of sending your Gerbers out for manufacture? BotFactory has created a PCB Printer called Squink, it prints using conductive ink and places dots of conductive adhesive where each SMD part will be placed. Best of all the machine then does a pick and place of all the parts onto
  13 year old Richard Turere lives in Kenya. Livestock is very important in their community, however lion are very smart and often kill their animals. The lions wait till everyone goes to bed before attacking. The first attempt at outsmarting the lions was to build scarecrows but the lions soon realized that since they were not moving around that there were not real people and didn’t pose and danger.
If you are getting into quad and hexcopters have a look at this one that Atarix777 demonstrates. He has built it in a way to keep the cost down without sacrificing performance. It has a total weight of 2.3KG so it sure isn’t a compact unit! It is an FPV system which allows the user to view the image of the on-board GoPro. Check out the 11 minute mark
