Ryan Sturmer from Googlemarks has come up with a creative way to increase your score on Guitar Hero with the help of a small electronic hack! "The idea of this hack is to enable the controller with an "auto" mode that simulates the constant jostling of the whammy bar at all times, maximizing the points accumulated while playing. We want this mode to be optional, so that the guitar
Hello All, I have been battling this cold and flu stuff and loosing. Here is a pretty cool article on how to build a high-end flash sync. Most non-powered flash syncs only work up to around 100 feet and are only sensitive to infrared light. The designer of this unit is a cave explorer and has put together a pretty impressive design. The photo diode used in this unit
This PIC Tengu by jfmateos is based on the 18F2455 Microcontroller is based on the Tengu that was made by Crispin Jones. It looks like lots of fun, this is a very ambishious project but the results are great. Thanks to jfmateos for the great detailed English details are shown below. "When I first saw the cloned Tengu developed by Alex, I thought it was a proper project
Hacked Gadgets Forum member Turd wanted to go all out to play NES emulator games. Instead of just playing the old NES games on a PC using a keyboard or modern joystick why not wire in one of the original NES joysticks and play the games like they were meant to be enjoyed! He wired the joystick into the parallel port and wrote some custom interface software using Free Basic.
Have a look at this cool Nightclub LED Lighting System. If I owned a nightclub this system would be one of the first enhancements that would be added. The company has done quite a few 3D models of their designs which provide a great idea of what the end result will look like. I would be interested in knowing what type of RGB LED element they use and how they
A 14 year old boy hacked the train system in Poland causing four trains to derail and numerous people to get injured. He apparently did this by converting a IR remote control to work with the train system. He had stolen the information needed to build the device along with some of the parts needed from the train storage yard. Of course this is horrible and the boy is completely
If you need an UV LED timer, or a timer for any other purpose you may be interested in the UV LED Controller that was constructed using a PIC 16F628A Microcontroller. There is a schematic and code available however the original project was not documented in English. Have a look at the Google translation that did a decent job of translating this one. Here is what you need to
