 Brian Neltner sent in some information about this Sound controlled RGB LED project that he designed. He has a Kickstarter running right now to try to build a 10X10 grid of them for Burning Man. Brian provides the full schematic for those who would like to build their own. “The goal of the SaikoLED Audio Responsive LED Module is to provide a fully autonomous device capable of collecting audio
 Dustin Evans used an old NES console, a Arduino Mega, a BlueSMiRF and some LEDs to allow him to play some old school emulated NES games on his cell phone in style. When turned on the BlueSMiRF searches for a device to connect to, once successfully paired to your phone you are now ready to take a journey back in time and start playing your favorite mario adventure.Â
If you need to measure household AC voltage with your grounded scope this Differential Probe Project might work well for you.
George Graves built this Constant Current Dummy Load Project based on this blog post over at the EEVBlog. It was built from a single sided board which was designed using ExpressPCB. That software is very nice to draft something up fast and it allows for an easy screen grab to etch what you see quickly. Thanks for sending this in Jim. “The only change I really made was running
Jacques Sperwer from Jacques Productions in the Netherlands shows us how he is building his Heavylift Hexacopter. Have a look at the video footage of the windmill below to get an idea of what these copters can do. This build is using a Wookong control system which looks to have all the bells and whistles. “Wookong Multi-Rotor stabilization controller is a complete flight system for all multi-rotor platforms
 If you are into modded consoles have a look at this WiiCube that Hugo Dorison build and sent in. “It is a heavily modded gamecube, trimmed to fit in a much smaller case than the original, with controls and a screen. It also is equiped with a wiikey fusion, a chip normally made for the wii, that has been adapted. Enabling the portable to play games off of
Humberto from Nerd Kits has built a DIY Sous-Vide Cooker. They are not touching any high voltage with their design, instead they are using a dimmer switch to power a crock pot and simply turn the dimmer switch with a small motor that is controlled using a microcontroller. A few small temperature sensors provide feedback so that the water bath temperature can be kept at the desired level. We
