If you need a simple Time Delay Alarm Circuit, this might be just what you need. Nice thing about it is that since it is based around a 4060 14 stage ripple counter which means there is no programming needed, just wire all of the components and power it up. The circuit uses a photo resistor to start the timer, the circuit wants to be in the dark, as soon
 Check out this Smartphone controlled Remote Dog Feeder, it is powered by the Avnet Spartan-6 LX9 that was designed and built by Kevin Keryk, an Avnet engineer. It is build on a wood frame with a battery power supply which is housed in an Altoids tin. The batteries power the Spartan-6 LX9 board and a Digilent PMODCon3 Board. An Ethernet cable plugs the Spartan-6 controller into a port on
Have you ever been to carnivals and played Duck Hunt Game? Check out the video of this Laser Shooting Duck Hunt Game which shows how this game has evolved using Laser technology. It was carried out by few students from San Jose State University and made the use of laser guns for shooting the eye-catching ducks made up of glass which is makes this game more fascinating to play.
 Check out this cool Electric Skateboard hack driven using a Kinect by Chaotic Moons Labs. An all-terrain long skateboard is equipped with a Microsoft’s Kinect controlled by a Windows 8 Samsung Tab. It has an 800 watt electric motor and uses a 36 volt power pack to set it in the motion.  This high tech skateboard works with voice and video recognition and also has accelerometers for feedback. The
 Bogdan Raducanu from Electro Bob has installed some LED Lighting that uses PIR Sensors in his kitchen and bathroom, the LED strips provide sufficient light for the areas and only turn on when someone id in the area because of the motion sensors that have been placed in strategic locations. He has documented his steps so you can also have some automatic lighting in your house. “Tiny PIR
Who knew pacemakers were so versatile, I thought they only had one purpose. This Pacemaker Camera Flash Project sure proved me wrong. 🙂 David Prutchi sent in his latest project where he has used an old pacemaker as a millisecond timer for high-speed photography. I guess after 20 years designing medical electronic instrumentation and developing 70 patents your electronics junk box has a bunch of medical devices that are
Check out this interesting project which uses some remote controlled Hex Bugs. By adding a computer, an IR Toy from our friend Ian and an Arduino Jim Choate has created a way to add voice control to these cool little bug toys. The voice commands are deciphered by custom software running on the computer which was written in C#. If you are interested in having a look at the
