This vintage video game player has a few extras on it. The extra knobs buttons and switches allow you to play this game console in a new way. With the original circuit board connected to in certain audio circuit location you are able to alter it in a pleasing way, watch the video below to see an example of this in action.

It was a great day when we could start our cold car remotely. A bit of trivia, the first remote car starter was produced by Canadian company here in Winnipeg called Kraus. Times have changed! In this hack Brandon Fiquett uses Siri in his Apple iPhone 4S to command his car to start using voice commands. Lots of the heavy lifting has been done by Viper in this case
This Rave Rover is a cool build and it is very well documented so you can see all the details of the system and how it was done. They are using a ton of high power RGB LED modules that can be controlled via SPI. The control of the LEDs is being done with an Arduino. Thanks to a very sturdy frame, some pneumatics and a few wheel chair motors
If you are done with university and are looking for a new use for your TI-83+ Calculator then look no further than this project. The guys over at Cemetech are Playing Floppy Drive Music using a TI-83+ Calculator. To make your own you will need to download mobileTunes and build the small circuit. “Inspired by other projects such as the Star Wars Imperial March played on two floppy drives and
Watches aren’t just used to tell the time, they can also be used to show off your tech love. The creator of this watch concept is a Hacked Gadgets reader and wanted to share his design with us. Yoann Lechopier from France designed this for a Tokyo Flash watch concept contest. We have featured Tokyo Flash before and they also sponsored a Hacked Gadgets contest in the past. If you
Cameron Charles from The Adventures of Cameron Charles has a Saeco Aroma espresso machine and wanted a bit more control. Of course this means a custom PCB with an onboard microcontroller. 🙂 Have a look his Espresso Machine Microcontroller Temperature Regulation project where he shows how he takes over control of exactly how the espresso is being made. There is still a small amount of tweaking to be made but
You might remember the pictures and video I shot of muRata Boy and Girl at CES earlier this year. If you liked those robots you will love the robot that Masahiko Yamaguchi built. This Bipedal Cycling Robot is quite small but when it comes to robotics small is usually more challenging. This tiny robot drives the bike just like a human does! Watch the video below to be blown away.
