 If you are looking to get into 3D printing have a look at this DeltaMaker – A Delta Robot 3D Printer. Their Kickstarter was successful so it will just be a matter of time until these units are rolling off the production floor! Via: Make  “Product Hightlights: Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) using 1.75 mm filament – PLA and ABS 100 micron layer resolution capability 10″ diameter x 11″
 Our friend Dave from Plastibots has just completed this great looking Bluetooth Robot that has an IP Camera on board. Dave wrote an Android application called BT Bot Control to allow you to drive your robot around using commands over Bluetooth using your Android phone. The video from the camera is sent back using Wifi. I can just imagine how much fun this would be with a squirt
We have all see some complex home automation systems, this video made by Jeremy from The Custom Geek gives a good overview of what is involved behind the scenes. This system lives in the garage and interfaces audio, video, phone, intercom, lighting and alarm system. Since the system is all connected it can do things like mute your pounding music when the door bell rings. Jeremy is also making custom
Thanks to Jerod Michel for sending in the details of this Armed Mobile Response RC Car that he and his students have built. It can be driven around remotely, it has an audio and video range of 100 meters. If you spot something you aren’t pleased with you can paint your target with the laser and fire the vehicle mounted gun. I have to admit, it is quite strange to
Kerimil sent in a method that he is using to get data out of his Arduino projects to the net using an Android phone in the middle. He demonstrates how he wrote the program on the Android using MIT App Inventor. The initial GUI reminds me of the Visual Studio environment where you can drag and drop elements such as check boxes and buttons but the language looks very
Tom from Damage Designs has Hacked his Futaba 10C Radio to accept a Spektrum DSM Module. Turns out these were not designed to function together but with a bit of effort Tom got them to work just fine. The actual protocol seems to be the same between the Futaba Transmitter and the Spektrum DSM2 Module but the sequence of commands is not consistent.Â
 The guys over at Whiskey Tango Hotel have made a Arduino Spirograph that will provide hours of viewing enjoyment. An Arduino controls the action, 3 motors spin mirrors and a laser is bounced from one to the other while they are spinning to produce a cool spinning effect. If you are interested in making one you can grab the code from the project page. “For the project you
