Suneth Attygalle made a pair of sight-blocking goggles that help you echolocate with the use of an ultrasonic rangefinder sensor. He used an Atmega8 chip running an Arduino bootloader, and some welding goggles. He even made a bat goggle instructable so you can make them yourself including source code and wiring diagram.
One of the participants from the “Hybrid World Scrapyard Challenge” workshop we held in Brussels, Belgium this past week created this Audio Sampler/Mixer from an old tape reel machine using an Arduino to collect the inputs and web-based control of samples. Check out all of the photos from the workshop at the link below. Flickr […]
Norweigian artist Maia Urstad, created this installation, “Wall of Sound” out of hundreds of CD players stacked in the same pattern of the old stone fences between farms in Norway. Substituting heavy stones for techno-garbage, the artist made a point of creating a modern take on the reuse of electronic waste for infrastructure improvements. MAIA […]
These “Audio Cubes” sport IR sensors on their faces to detect distance and communicate with their neighbors. They also have USB ports, rechargeable batteries, and audio in/out ports. Although cool, the price tag isn’t cheap, so we here at Make know that someone could hack their own version together pretty easily. [via]
5volt made a sweet little radio-controlled tank using an ATtiny24 – This is the model R/C tank I am designing on a gearbox + Tracks & wheels from Tamiya. The radio is Hitec and two receiver servo outputs feed the microcontroller-based Pulse Position Modulation output to Pulse Width Modulation converter. – My Radio Controlled Tank […]
From the MAKE Flickr photo pool Ken built a timelapse photography setup with a rooftop view – I’m embarking on a very long timelapse movie project, and trying to do it on the cheap, so I put this rig together. I’m using a modified outdoor electrical box as an enclosure and a cheap old compact […]
