Is your garage not quite up to par in the technology area? Sounds like you need to install some electronics to help out. A Garage Monitor might be what you are looking for. “Need to know if the garage door is open? Need to know if you pulled in far enough for the door to close without hitting your bike? Need to know all this with web access… I present
If you are looking for an easy way to connect a cordless phone to Skype, this hack might be the ticket for you. “Heres an easy way to make your own cordless phone skype ready, Dont need to open your phone, and you can dial from it as well! All for about $5. Once your adapter is all hooked up, make a call to echo123 and make sure your sound
If you need a simple FM transmitter for a project, the miniFM Transmitter from The Streaming Suitcase might do the trick. The instructions are VERY detailed. “We will build a FM transmitter. This will allow you transmit audio from any electronic sound device (such as a minidisc, cd player, computer) to FM radio receivers. To make the transmitter you don’t need any previous experience. We will use a circuit designed
As you can see from the parts list there isn’t much needed to make this coil-gun. Jeff has some nice detailed instructions on his site so you can easily have your very own. 🙂 I have a challenge for all Hacked Gadget readers, take one of these through an airport security check area and see what happens. I am thinking it could be an interesting situation… “The electronics are salvaged
If you want to have more fun with your Roomba check this out! “RoombaMidi has the following features: – provides GUI interface to controlling Roomba (MIDI not required) – acts as normal MIDI interface to any MIDI application – supports up to 16 Roombas, one per MIDI channel. – responds to MIDI notes 32-127 as tones on Roomba beeper, – MIDI notes 32-127 play corresponding pitch, velocity is duration
If you like playing with sounds you will love the NoizBox. Listen to the audio clip of it in action. If you want to make your own Seb has provided the schematic, parts list and code for the PIC microcontroller on his site. “The stripboard ‘touchpad’ on the right of the right panel was added to give some fingertip control over the second modulation source depth and frequency. The top
This is a nice simple sound meter indicator. Small enough to build directly onto a perf board and all of the components are quite common which will keep the build cost down. “This project uses an LM3915 bar-graph IC driving two sets of ten LEDs for a 30dB range. The circuit is unique because it has an additional range of 20dB provided by an automatic gain control to allow it
