My daughter seems to have everything that has a Hannah Montana brand on it but I haven’t seen this photocube yet. It’s probably a good thing since after reading about this Hacked Hannah Montana Photocube I would probably have it in a bunch of pieces on my workbench. "A 1Mb A29L800( datasheet ) flash chip and a micrcontroller hidden behind a big black blob along with the LCD, buttons,
The next installment of the Suzuki Electric Bike Build is up for our enjoyment. You probably remember that last time the motor was getting rebuilt.There is lots of progress being made and as usual there is a video that will take you along the process. Hopefully it will open your eyes to some creative part building techniques. Below is just a bit of the experimentation that was needed to
Next time you see someone looking down at their cell phone you’ll have to ask yourself who sent the message. Was it a simple text message from their friend, an automated spam email or could be a break in alert sent from their home monitoring system via Twitter! "My alarm panel is somewhat isolated in the house with no nearby Ethernet connection, so I added an Xbee wireless module
This interesting DIY IR Light Dimmer project allows you to make your light into a remote controlled dimmable system, best of all it uses one you your existing remote controls. Have a look at the schematic below and notice that there is no low voltage transformer for the microcontroller. The board layout, schematic and microcontroller code is available so that you can build your very own. Thanks Muris "Dimmer
This Servoelectric Guitar is an interesting concept, it is cool so see the combination of art, electronics and mechanical components. What we need next is a machine that also automatically pucks the strings as it tensions the strings. Thanks Keith. "A servoelectric guitar is a fretless guitar that is played by controlling servomotors that change the tension of the strings over an octave or more on a real-time basis.
Weiss from Volunteer Lab Rats posted a cool picture of an old Electric Cannon in the forum. As you know we love coil guns around here! I didn’t realize that this idea had been around for this long though. I would love to see how the coil sequencing circuit was designed back then, I am thinking it would be completely mechanical. It could be as simple as the projectile
The winners have been announced over at Gadget Gangster. This project uses the Picaxe microcontroller at its heart. Make sure you have a look at the other cool winners. "The NoiseAxe is an easy to build Picaxe based mini-synth that plays a range of crazy sounds using only a stylus and photoresistor."
