Marc de Vinck from Make is at CES and is hunting down all of the stuff that we think is cool. Check out this neat Phone Robot called Romo. It works out to be quite an expensive robot considering it holds your smart phone, as long as it doesn’t take a tumble down the stairs I think your phone is quite safe though. There is a developer section for
So this year Hacked Gadgets will not be at CES but we are following the coverage and will be featuring some crazy gems that we see. This Tamaggo 360 Camera is sure to inspire some new photo taking. There have been devices out there that have taken 360 pictures before but none of them look and operate as simply as this one does. Have a look at the
Check out this cool Laser Cut Hand Bowl Instructable, I can just imagine a ton of laser cutters running today cutting this design out. Penfold Labs designed this using a number of different processes described below. If you are interested in purchasing one instead of building one you can get one in the Instructables store. “Here’s a small bowl I made from interlocking layers of birch plywood. I designed
Adafruit reported a cool gadget so called “Rudolph“, an email Reading Reindeer that lets you know when you’ve got a new email and tells you who sent it! Basically it uses Propeller Platform USB to log into the email server, trigger animations, and generate the speech. The Internet connection is handled separately by E-Net module. All the software codes required to build this project can be downloaded from Gadgetgangster.
Dave took some time off building his new lab and finished building an ArduCopter, Dave goes through some troubleshooting when the control board doesn’t work. Turns out there is a mystery short on the previously functional board. You will get a good laugh at the culprit. 🙂
 Robert Smith built this Remote Control Solar Lawn Mower to let him cut his grass without breaking a sweat. Check out a few of the many videos below that he created going over the entire build process. He used Google Sketchup to make a 3D model of the system before it was built, this would allow you to make your own lawnmower if you choose. Just like with
Check out this Pulse Sensor which monitors Heart Beats and easily interfaces to an Arduino. This could be used for lots of creative applications. Think of cool clothing that blinks to your heart beat. It would be neat for fitness instructors to be able to look at the ear lobe of their students to determine their approximate heart rate and if the exercise plan should be altered to optimize
