This Playstation Portable LED Controller Board project that is sure to make your PSP stand out from the crowd. A tiny surface mount PICAXE microcontroller was mounted to a tiny custom board and custom programmed to provide a nice LED display. Doesn’t seem to be much details of the build, hopefully there is more detail to come. “I wanted the board to fit snugly inside the psp so that if
With this Motion Feedback MP3 Player you need to keep moving otherwise your tunes will get turned down. It uses a SparkFun MP3 Trigger , Parallax PIR Motion Sensor , and an ioBridge IO-204 Controller. Could this be the end of the mint tin cases? The French Vanilla Cafe tin looks to be a winner. 🙂 “I wanted the IO-204 to change the volume of the MP3 track as motion
Laser cutters are all the rage right now. Prices have come down quite a bit over the past 10 years but they are still not nice and cheap so it would still be a purchase that would hurt a bit. Interestingly there are lots of people who are making DIY CNC machines but not that many making DIY Laser Cutters and DIY Laser Engravers. Have a look at this DIY
Over at the Arduino X10 Collection site there is a two part series in the making of a DIY Geiger Counter Project which is built with an Arduino Microcontroller. Part 2 can be found here. I can’t think of a time I was looking for a geiger counter but you never know. The project is built around a Russian Military SBM-20 Hard Beta and Gamma GM Detector. If you are
In this GSR-Monkey (Skin Conductance Measurement System) Martin Sona uses the principle of galvanic skin response to plot some data onto a grid. Two people can be connected and monitored at the same time. I can imagine using this system as a two way lie detector, how often do you get to turn the tables when performing a lie detector test? Via: Hacked Gadgets Comments “The hardware (besides the PC
I made a PWM Fan Controller to cool my external hard drive that got quite warm when it was running for an extended period of time. There are 4 videos documenting the build below. Have a look at the project page for the schematic, code and additional information. The heart of the PWM Fan Controller is a PIC 12F675 microcontroller. This microcontroller is reading the analog output of a LM35
Strobes are an effective way of creating atmosphere. Wizz Engineering designed a huge Strobe Array which used 24 small strobe lights that were controlled using custom DMX stage lighting equipment. “The Strobe Array is a matrix of 8 x 3 small 10W stroboscopes. Each strobe has a relay soldered into it which forces it to flash, and the relays are controlled independently by a MPLI DMX512 interface. Patterns where selected
