Chiara Robot

  You may remember the Hexapod Robot that Matt Denton built. I think this new Chiara Robot could give Matt a run for his money as far as features and power. Chiara  was developed at Carnegie Mellon University’s Tekkotsu lab, best of all it will be manufactured and sold by RoPro Design, Inc. David Touretzky, Gaku Sato, Ethan Tira-Thompson, and David Rice have done a great job on this system.

Arduino Oscilloscope

  This Arduino Oscilloscope project is a great idea. For people that are getting into electronics having a meter is good but having a scope is great.

"This software allows you to get a visual representation of

Prius Hybrid Plug in Electric Conversion

Even though you can buy a small transistor based amplifier on a chip for a few dollars the old tube method of creating sound has some magical draw. I don’t own a tube amp but this Stereo Tube Amp Project is now available as a kit so I guess now there is no excuse. 🙂 “Ever wanted to build

Suzuk-E - Suzuki Electric Bike Completion

The Suzuk-E project is done! have a look at the video to see some of the work that was needed to finish the project. If it looks like there are some major new parts you would be right. As it worked out there were some failures near the end of the build which required some expensive new parts. Frank hooked up a meter that can keep track of the total

64 RGB-LED Color TV

  Remember the 64 RGB-LED Color Table that was featured last week? Well believe it or not there has been a tremendous amount of work completed on the project since then. Now you are able to connect the table to a computer and turn it into a low resolution TV or play a game of Tetris! It will be interesting to see what the final project that Edo is working
