This is a nice example of how you can hide a server without just sticking the beige box in a closet or in some furniture. You can tell that Vassilis Papanikolaou took his time when thinking about an efficient system layout. I have to admit that I have a normal computer tucked away in the closet next to my home entertainment system 🙁 If I had the time and
If you are looking to do some covert key capture this DIY Wireless Keylogger could be a project you may want to consider. "The Wireless Keylogger consists of two main building blocks: the transmitter, and the receiver. The actual keylogging takes place in the transmitter, which is in fact a PS/2 hardware keylogger, with a built-in 2.4GHz wireless module. Captured keystroke data is transmitted through the radio-link in real-time,
Carlos from Carlos’ Contraptions found a safe that is sure to be filled with bars of gold and bags of diamonds. His problem is that the darn thing is locked. There are indications that others have tried to get into the safe unsuccessfully, his plan was to use technology to crack the safe. The snag that he got into is the servo motor selected to turn the tumbler was
This is an interesting Laser Cat Toy project that uses a Parallax Microcontroller to move a servo controlled laser pointer. It uses a remote control to move around and fire the laser. "Parts used: One bi-color LED with common cathode. One bi-color LED (the one from the What’s a Microcontroller kit) Two Continuous Rotation Servos (BOE BOT kit) One "Standard" 180 degree servo (WAM kit) IR detector (from BOE-BOT
We have seen lots of interesting thumb drives such as the Hard Drive thumb drive array, and the VHS Thumb Drive. Now thanks to CF14 Industries we have a Vacuum Tube Thumb Drive. It takes a bit of trial and error to build one so I would have a few tubes on hand before you try to build your own.
If you are looking for a new microcontroller project and like to play with LEDs this 4 RGB LED PWM Controller project might be for you. There is full documentation provided. "The advantages include the built-in 4MHz oscillator, hardware USART, and ease of reprogramming. A couple of features I had in mind during the design: Multiple intensities for each color (using PWM) Multiple individually controllable RGB LEDs High-speed update
Here is a great example of a DIY amp project. The TDA2050 Hi-Fi Chip Amplifier looks like a good chip to use for this purpose. There is full schematics and details provided so that you can build your own. Thanks Gio. "The amplifier is built around a single integrated circuit (IC), the TDA2050V which is produced by STMicroelectronics. From the data sheet, the TDA2050V is intended for use as
