 So we have all seen a useless machine before and what could be more fun that one of those? How about a Double Useless Machine, this is the machine for us who might be a bit too lazy to interact with the machine. With this design you simply need to take the switch off the center mode and watch the machine in action.
This RGB LED Infinity Mirror uses an Arduino controlled RGB strip that allows some control over what color and pattern are displayed on your mirror. When off this type of mirror looks like a normal mirror but when the LEDs are on it gets reflected onto the normal mirror at the back from the one way mirror on the front. This makes for a great looking effect! “It’s an
 Who would have thought that we would see a $200 printer this early! Looks like the MakiBOX by Jonathan Buford is currently the cheapest 3D printer around (please correct me in the comments if there is something cheaper). Now that Makerbot has gone through some drastic changes and is no longer open source are we going to see lots of low cost entry level machines fill the void?
Ever want to see what is inside a huge High Voltage Transformer? The Geek Group got one donated and took it apart for everyone to have a peek. The transformer is an old medical XRAY transformer, there is a huge safety disconnect contactor under the top cover and the entire case is filled with mineral oil for high voltage isolation. They spread it out over 3 videos and some
Stamps.com seems to be promoting their service in all corners of the web these days. Their scales are a big part of how their service works to allow you to print your own stamps at home. Only thing is the fully functional scale they provide is only good if it is connected to a computer since there is no display on it (looks like the new scales do have
   Rohit Gupta needed a way to speed up PCB etching. Heating the etchant and agitating it are both well known ways of speeding up the process. If you are on a DIY budget this normally means you will be stuck sloshing the etchant back and forth for 10 minutes or so. Rohit developed the Open Agitator which uses a CD-ROM Drive Drawer to shake a tray back and forth. A
Remember the Espruino we featured back in January? Check out their Espruino Kickstarter. The Kickstarter is fully funded so these will be produced and if you act fast you will be able to snag one for £19 through kickstarter. I am thinking that we will start to see a new group of web programmers that make the plunge to microcontroller programming with this device. This device is tiny and packs
