Happy New Year! You might have shot off a few fireworks off last night. After you view a few of these videos you might build one or two of your own next time. Of course the materials used are very dangerous so it isn’t for the faint of heart. Other than the fact that you are working with explosives it is very much like any other arts and crafts
Some wood, aluminum angle channel and roller bearings is what makes up majority of the camera slide that was designed by Making Stuff. There is a lot of precision that is needed to allow the unit to slide smoothly. Even though much of the design is cut by hand using a table saw and screwed together with a handful of drywall screws it works really well. A stepper motor
idogendel.com used an Arduino and some shift registers to create this nice looking Christmas Tree Ornament. The LEDs shine through the holes in the box and are diffused using the paper front. “I built this little Xmas-tree DIY Arduino project to demonstrate the use of the 595 Shift Register ICs (see link below) as output port expanders: 12 bi-color LEDs are handled using three 595’s and just three Arduino
If you are laying some floor tile and want to jazz up the look. Some inset LED strips might be just what you are looking for. Elektric-junkys.com has the items you need for this design. It is a lot of work but the end result is quite spectacular. Since the channels have the press in plastic strip maintenance is also easy since you can just pull out the plastic
When you are making some prototype PCBs it is quite simple until you go double sided, now you need to potentially solder through hole components on both sides, stick small wires in each via and solder both sides or insert small rivets in the holes. DIYyouwhere is playing around with a method where they attach a brush to the drill so that they can electrically detect when the metal
So if you are looking for a neat keyboard mod I think you can take one or two of the ideas that you can see in the HacKeyboard and run with it. I really like the hidden USB storage drive which is mounted with a secret keyboard sequence. If the keyboard was just regular looking that would be very secure since who would think there was some secrets lurking
You can see the case above that Tony Flynn built the Internet Radio project around. The outside may look old but the internals are sporting a powerful Raspberry Pi. It uses your local wifi to tune in internet tunes. “The radio is configurable by anyone and no programming skills are required. Â All the stations and settings are stored in a text based configuration file which is stored on
