If you have a FON router this hack will give you access to the serial console. “Out of the box the foneros wireless router has Telnet and SSH turned off. By accessing the buit in serial console you can turn SSH on and access various settings and reflash the firmware.” Via: Gizmodo
This instructable shows how to build your own RF probe. The parts needed might already be in your parts bin! “Probe for measuring in the Radio Frequency range built inside an earphone jack, designed to have minimum capacitance and complete shielding. What is needed: A diode. Germanium point contact, OA79 or 1N34 is the preferred and traditional choice. But a modern substitute will be a schottky (gold bonded) diode. These
Ever wonder how induction heating worked? Me too… Penguin Labs has an informative article about some of their experiments. “Induction cookers, furnaces, stoves and all that jazz are now widely used. You put your metal saucepan on top of an innocent looking glass plate and it magically heats your food with no flame and almost no waste heat. They are able to heat certain metals up to their melting points,
This RF Remote Controller project is very well documented and even has a step by step explanation of what the PIC microcontroller code is doing line by line! “On these pages, I will introduce Remote Controller with Radio Frequency. The electric wave sending-out is controlled with the code by PIC for transmission and the code is deciphered by PIC for receiving. The 2 stages FET amplifier is used for the
Transform your old scanner that is just collecting dust in the closet into a cool tech lamp. “This instructable shows you how to make a desk lamp out of scrounged scanner parts and a few extras from Home Depot. I have set up a small solar array, controller and a storage battery. I wanted to make some low power lighting that I can use in my office that would not
Have a look at the parts list below. It doesn’t take much to make your own shake light! “Make magnet tube: This part could really be made from anything (i.e. stiff paper), I used the pen because the magnets just fit inside the tube. Cut your tube a little smaller than the length of the Tic-Tac box. Find some washers or plugs to use as end caps, these could also
Here is an digital audio project that uses S/PDIF. “Here’s a very trivial S/PDIF transmitter hack for portable MiniDiscs and other digital audio devices lacking S/PDIF output. The s/pdif transmitter runs from +5V, 44kHz 16bit input at 384xfs, is set to consumer mode output, and doesn’t transmit any COPY bit (copyright protection disabled). The board can be connected directly to a PC motherboard, or via a Toshiba TOTX173 to an
