Now that the kids are going back to school you know how much work it was to get all the supplies ready such as sharpening all those pencils. Next time why not build a Tesla Turbine Pencil Sharpener to speed up the process. 🙂 We have featured lots of Tesla Turbine projects in the past such as the blender turbine and and the hard drive tesla turbine, I am
Most of us know what a Tractor Pull is but how many people can say they have seen it done in 1/32nd scale? That is exactly what this 8 Slot Motor Tractor Puller is and look closely that tiny rig is pulling 4 1/2 pounds! "A 1/32nd scale tractor puller using 8 slot car motors geared together. Tractor is 8" long. Pull sled has 2 lbs in the hopper
This is a cool way to remote control your car. The microcontroller is a bit of an older one, have a look at the 16f628 for a more modern one these days. Have a look at the build history to see the beginnings of this intro project. Via: HG Forum "I basically took a remote controlled car, and connected it to a 16F84 programmable chip, and now I can
This PIC microcontroller project is from a St. Cloud State University course. Jacob Scherer did a good job at making a multifunction system using a PIC chip, it can function as a digital oscilloscope, spectral analyzer, pulse generator and pulse width measurement, temperature sensor, and capacitor sensor! This project reminds me of the ones that are created in the Cornell ECE 5760 course. "It is a microcontroller based system
Nerd Kits has made an interesting example video showing us how to use C printf and scanf commands. "Programming in C can be a daunting task for a beginner, especially when new programming languages like Python make it so easy to accomplish basic tasks. Taking input from the user, and displaying data back to the user in a human readable format is one of those things in C that
We have featuring tons of clocks around here lately. Nick Romano sent in a clock that he built from a kit he got from a Frank Techniek. It is spiced up with lots of cool extras that make it shine! "I built one from a kit offered by Frank Tech and then fabricated the case. All parts, fasteners etc are hand made of brass, acrylic and a glass dome.
The d-touch music system has continued to evolve since we saw it the first time. It is completely free, why not give it a try! "The release of audio d-touch is itself part of a research project about novel computer interfaces. Our aim is to advance the field by gaining insight on how tangible interfaces may be used in the real world. Please help us by trying out the
