View more documents from kierannolan. Kieran Nolan recently held a workshop for ISEA 2009 on Hacking Toys into Tangible Interfaces. During the workshop he hacked together usb keyboards with toy keytars to build DIY guitar game controllers. Now you know what to do with all those old toys when your kids outgrow them.
Most of us know what a Tractor Pull is but how many people can say they have seen it done in 1/32nd scale?

This is a cool way to remote control your car. The microcontroller is a bit of an older one, have a look at the 16f628 for a more modern one these days. Have a look at the build history to see the beginnings of this intro project. Via: HG Forum "I basically took a remote controlled car, and connected it to a 16F84 programmable chip, and now I can

Strap on the long hair wig controller, load in the game software and rock out with your hair. When you are done have a look at
This is an interesting Laser Cat Toy project that uses a Parallax Microcontroller to move a servo controlled laser pointer. It uses a remote control to move around and fire the laser. "Parts used: One bi-color LED with common cathode. One bi-color LED (the one from the What’s a Microcontroller kit) Two Continuous Rotation Servos (BOE BOT kit) One "Standard" 180 degree servo (WAM kit) IR detector (from BOE-BOT
I need one of these robots to make me some coffee in the morning! Even though I a sure there was lots of prep prior to each mini scene this robot is actually very strong and flexible! Thanks for sending it in Alex.
