Anna Ceguerra has been making some interesting applications with the 4D Systems OLED displays. This is her version of Tetris for the 4D Systems platform. You still have the rest of today to enter the contest that 4D is sponsoring, if you win, your project could be the next one featured on Hacked Gadgets. 🙂 The contest is one of the harder ones that we have had, this means your
If you were a electronic hobbyist 55 years ago this is the type of projects you would be building. The visual point to point diagram is great, it reminds me of an old version of Fritzing. If the circuit wasn’t enough, the English grammar is also interesting, on the first page AM is spelled ayem. The woman in the front page picture look happy even though there is only one
Mikey Sklar has put together an interesting wallet, it is made out of hard drive platters. As you know we have a soft spot for anything made from Hard Drives here at Hacked Gadgets. “I took apart a dead hard drive that I had dumpster dived last year initially for the magnets, but I could not take my eyes off of the platters. The magnet would just be trouble with
Here is a good video about communicating amongst multiple microcontrollers. In this case they are NerdKits that are distributing sign data so that a huge Multi-Panel LED Array can be built. Even if you aren’t interested in the project have a look at it for the SPI info. “In this project, we put a new twist on our old idea, and modified the LED Array into a giant multi panel
Have a look at the My 2uF blog for some interesting developments of an 8 RGB LED Ring project. There is lots of blog entries covering everything from board design to a working demo of project. He is using an interesting RGB surface mount LED, they seem to be very susceptible to heat which sounds like they would be hard to work with. “The board contains an ATmega168 chip, a
Phil Torrone has put together a guide of open source hardware that was produced over the past year. This is sure to be a growing category in the next few years. "Each year we do a guide to all open source hardware and this year there are over 125 unique projects/kits in 19 categories, up from about 60 in 2008, more than doubling the projects out there! – it’s
If your project needs to store lots of data you need a datalogger, this Open Source Hardware SD Datalogger allows you to store tons of data onto an SD card. Via: Elektronika.ba "This project provides a general purpose library which implements read and write support for MMC, SD and SDHC memory cards. It includes low-level MMC, SD and SDHC read/write routines partition table support a simple FAT16/FAT32 read/write implementation"
