DIY Atomic Clock Synced LED Clock

  If you want the most accurate DIY clock possible have a look at this DIY Atomic Clock Synced LED Clock build. This clock is built to use the DCF77 which stands for D=Deutschland (Germany), C=long wave signal, F=Frankfurt, 77=frequency: 77.5 kHz. Via: LED Projects “The 77.5 kHz carrier signal is generated from local atomic clocks that are linked with the German master clocks in Braunschweig. With a relatively high power of 50

Pirate Bay Servers might soon be GPS Controlled Drones

    As you probably know The Pirate Bay is always hiding the location of their servers since governments can often cause a huge speed bump in their activity when they want to. The Pirate Bay Servers might soon be GPS Controlled Drones to allow the server farm to not only not be tied to a building on earth but it could be commanded to fly to a new location

Electronic Upgrade for Antique Music Box

  Music boxes are so nice because they play such nice music from a very simple mechanism. In this case the music is still nice but the Digital Enhancement player uses a much more complex method to get the music out. Via: Make and Laughing Squid  “Digital Enhancement” is an interactive sound installation consisting of an electrified Symphonion Brevet No. 28, a synthesizer, an amplifier and four headphones. The Symphonion

Horto domi - an Open Garden project that can be controlled from the web

  Do you like gardening and electronics? If so the Horto domi might be just the thing for you to tie these two loves together. The kickstarter is almost 1/3 funded and there is 50 days left, looks like it has a good shot at getting funded!  “Horto domi is an open hardware raised-bed garden unit with environmental control and monitoring via web-interface thanks to Arduino Ethernet. DIY sensors, such

Sal the Robot Head that can look around at interesting things

     Just like us Sal can look around in his environment so he can watch things that are interesting. Sal uses the iLab Neuromorphic Vision C++ Toolkit to make the magic work. You can also download the code to play around with building your own version of Sal. Thanks for sending this in Lior. Read more here.  “Sal is a robotic head that makes head and eye movements to

How to get 2 extra Pins from an Arduino

  If you have an Arduino project and need a few extra pins have a look at the way that Mark from SpikenzieLabs did it. He removed the crystal and 22pf capacitors then he added a pin header to access the pins easily. To use this configuration you then need to set the fuses so that it uses the internal oscillator.  The internal oscillator is not as accurate as the

Battery Powered Warming Poncho

     If you hate cold days and want to have some active heating to keep you warm this Battery Powered Warming Poncho might be just the project for you. Berto uses a 12 volt battery in a bag that runs the poncho. Being from Winnipeg and knowing lots of avid snowmobilers I have actually seen lots of warming gloves and vests for riding all day in the cold but a
