David Watts has made a DIY Boombox which is made with mostly off the shelf pieces that have been hacked together. Some of the features the boombox has is line in, bluetooth input, radio, spectrum analizer and a partially working pong game. An Arduino is built into the box to do some of the control. The box is powered from a 6 AA cell battery pack, a step down
Mike Senese from Make shows us how to make a License Plate Electric Guitar. Some basic tools are used to create a totally custom electric guitar, the video shows you how to wind the pickup coil using some screws, plywood and magnet wire. When this project is done you will have a guitar to jam on. In the example video a pre built guitar neck was used but depending
The $5 mouse that you just tossed in the garbage might have had some hackable life still in it. As Conor Peterson shows us most optical mice are actually quite simply in operation with most of the hard work being done by the low resolution camera sensor. With a bit of Arduino code he was able to read out the serial image data directly from the mouse and display
  The Re:Load Pro is an Active DC Load Kickstarter. It is almost at the goal so it looks like they will be made. If you have a need to load test power supplies and various other pieces of gear this might be just the thing for you. The price seems very good and the unit looks fantastic with that snazzy display.  “The Re:load Pro’s features include: Dissipate 25
deba168 from India designed and built this Arduino Solar Charge Controller to provide electrical power in areas where the grid can’t always provide power when needed. Code and schematics are provided so you can get some inspiration from the design. Â “At first the charge controller will check the solar panel voltage and compare it with battery voltage ,If it is greater then the Arduino will starts sending pulse width
 Kerry Wong built this Thermometer and Hygrometer with Analog Displays instead of the typical digital display.  Via: Electronics Labs and Dangerous Prototypes  “The circuit itself is as simple as it gets. SHT21 is mounted on a breakout board and connected to the ATMega328p board via ribbon cable. The sensor is placed at some distance away from the MCU board so that the measurement is not affected by the heat
This is a cool Nixie Bargraph Clock that has an hour and minute tube, the heights of the plasma in each tube indicates the time. There are some wires wrapped around the tubes so you can easily see what time it is without estimating. The electronics are tucked out of sight in a box out of sight so when you are admiring the clock you don’t see the modern
