David Watts has made a DIY Boombox which is made with mostly off the shelf pieces that have been hacked together. Some of the features the boombox has is line in, bluetooth input, radio, spectrum analizer and a partially working pong game. An Arduino is built into the box to do some of the control. The box is powered from a 6 AA cell battery pack, a step down
 Thanks to Mike Douglas for sending in his build details on these Cheap DIY Noise Canceling Headphones. Sometimes the best solutions don’t need to be expensive. “Mike Douglas wrote: OK, insanely easy, insanely simple. I needed some good noise canceling headphones so I could listen to music while working in my wood shop. I didn’t want to spend hundreds of dollars on commercial brand DJ Ripmaster whoever headphones
Mike Senese from Make shows us how to make a License Plate Electric Guitar. Some basic tools are used to create a totally custom electric guitar, the video shows you how to wind the pickup coil using some screws, plywood and magnet wire. When this project is done you will have a guitar to jam on. In the example video a pre built guitar neck was used but depending
Benmurton made this working DIY Acrylic Skeleton Clock, the reason I say working is that when acrylic is cut into thin pieces it tends to be quite flexible. He did a great job building this clock, I immediately thought that it was laser cut since a laser machine would make quick work of this build but after looking further into his build log it turns out that he actually
Passwords are a pain to keep on top of. The Final Key project is a Hardware Password Manager. It is based on an Arduino with a an EEPROM soldered onto the board. I am thinking that this needs to be a product that the masses can purchase at Best Buy. Thanks for the tip Jim. “The Final Key is a piece technology that solves a problem. The Final
The $5 mouse that you just tossed in the garbage might have had some hackable life still in it. As Conor Peterson shows us most optical mice are actually quite simply in operation with most of the hard work being done by the low resolution camera sensor. With a bit of Arduino code he was able to read out the serial image data directly from the mouse and display
deba168 from India designed and built this Arduino Solar Charge Controller to provide electrical power in areas where the grid can’t always provide power when needed. Code and schematics are provided so you can get some inspiration from the design. Â “At first the charge controller will check the solar panel voltage and compare it with battery voltage ,If it is greater then the Arduino will starts sending pulse width
