The Hackers Bench has put together an interesting way to hack a cheap remote door bell into a remote control relay. “I was looking for a cheap remote control that would turn on my driveway floodlights from the car. Yea, an IR motion detector would work, and I even tried that for a while. The problem is that we have coyotes, javalina, and other nocturnal creatures that wander around here
This looks like one of the best effects I have seen for not much effort. Have a look at the Big Scream TV site for even more ideas. “We’ll show you how to make a ghostly head float in the air.

Rob documented the circuit that he designed and is available in the photos below. The
These Halloween Cave Eyes look like a cool project that will spook everyone that comes to your door. Check out the site for full details and PIC chip code. “This is a little microcontroller circuit that has 15 pairs of L.E.D.’s that look like rodent eyes. The pairs of eyes blink in a semi-random fashion. So, what you end up with is 15 pairs of eyes staring out at you
Who needs coffee when you can get woken up with a jolt each morning? That is what Clinton Mann can do now since he created a shock clock. I am thinking this could be the start of a good alarm system. When your house alarm goes off simply electrify the jewellery box to give the thieves a little surprise! “The idea for this project came to me about a
