Jean-Claude Wippler from Jee Labs is making a DIY RGB LED Strip Driver Board and has documented the results and build details in a few posts. Here is a video that shows what the end result looks like. This project is going to allow for fully adjustable lighting in the Jee Labs, with a typical RGB light strip you should be able to achieve any color you want! “I wanted
Youtube user NOBOX7 has been documenting some of his DIY Air Dart Gun build process. It is a work in progress but the power the dart gun can provide is quite impressive given its relatively small size. Watch the 3rd video to see the gun in action. Just like a spud gun, this is a dangerous project so if you decide to build your own be very careful.
This Arduino Steampunk Analog Watch that Matthew Garten built looks fun to use. The video below shows the unit in action with the Biopunk Edition enclosure. I think that the Steampunk version (pictured above) looks much better myself though. There is no shortage of functions either, you can play some games in your downtime. Thanks for the tip Greg. “The materials used in making the watch are Electronics 1 Arduino
With a few LEDs and some creativity you can put together some very impressive effects. The guys over at Freddiew’s Blog have put together a great video and a how to so that you can make your own LED Light Painting video. Via: Laughing Squid “It’s easy! Here’s what you need: A camera that can do long exposures, or has a “bulb†mode. You can do this with a camera
It has been many years since we made an article on our Photo Etch Circuit Board Process. Next time I make some boards I will definitely use hydrogen peroxide and muriatic acid as by copper etchant. I have been using ferric chloride for many years but it is very messy and is quite expensive. In the video above Daniele Nicolucci shows a nice step by step process of making a
UPDATE: The project is complete have a look at everything here. Nerf Gun Hack part 1, part 2, part 3 This is part 2 of the Nerf Gun hack, you can see part 1 of the project here. Last time some wiring was done to allow us to remotely control the three internal motors. This time the control wires are connected to a simple circuit that uses two darlington transistors
Designing a circuit requires reading lots of data sheets. The data sheets contain lots of parameters, for Flash memory one of those values is the number of times the device can be read and written to. In the case of a Microchip 24AA01-I/P 128byte I2C EEPROM the rated number off write cycles is 1 million. Our friend Ian Lesnet from Dangerous Prototypes has designed a device he calls the Flash
