Looks like Gareth from Switzerland has completed his next metal finding robot. I am very impressed at the accuracy of the robots ability to find coins. Looks like this robot has a good shot of paying for its creation in no time. You may remember the last version that we featured. "TB-007 has been fitted with a Wireless Camera so i can sit in my deck chair and watch

Via: Electronics Lab "After programming the micro via the ICSP connector, place a jumper between the pins VDD and VPP (reset input tied to Vdd). The oscilloscope will be set for 2mS/div on X axis and 1V/div on Y axis. One
This Metal Finding Robot is a work in progress. The creator hopes that it will find enough money to self fund its completion. That is a goal that I am sure most robot creators could only dream of. I could see letting a few of these loose in a park the day after a big event and collecting tons of cash! "The Metal Detector consists of 2 separate detetor
Edo has just added multi-touch capability to his 64 RGB-LED Panel with Multi-Touch. This is an enhancement to the initial design which later got video capability. Keep up the great work Edo! Hopefully Edo will pass along some details and pictures of his work.
