This tail-pipe hack is meant to make some noise every time the vehicle (in this case a motorcycle) spits out enough carbon monoxide that could be harmful to the environment. Since this might end up getting you into an accident, so we don’t condone this type of modification, still it’s kind of nice to hear […]
Margot Potter (a.k.a The Impatient Crafter) has just started posting a series of Crafty Quickies How To Videos on her blog. At just 1-2 minutes per video, she’s honing in on specific how-tos for techniques that – though they may frequently be used – are often done incorrectly and can have a big impact on […]
This hack shows how to stuff a Nintendo Gameboy inside the housing of a TI-83 series calculator. We’ve seen the cool things these calculators can be hacked to do, but we haven’t seen someone take it this far. Unfortunately, I think it would be more impressive if he got the TI-83’s hardware to play Gameboy […]
This tutorial shows each step necessary to build a MIDI clock to sync to Little Sound DJ or NanoLoop on a Nintendo Gameboy in order to output beats to the midi instrument of your choice. It lets you synchronize up to six copies of LSDJ or NanoLoop simultaneously to a MIDI clock. Check out this […]
At a recent MAKE: Tokyo meeting, these LED Dia De Los Muertos-themed tote bags with embedded LilyPad Arduino boards made an appearance. Mike Dixon, MAKE‘s Japan liason found an excellent quote on their blog about the event: We made our bags controlled with LilyPad Arduino (kawaii microcontroller board designed for wearables and e-textiles), we were […]
The “Zebra Crossing Memorial” was an urban street art hack designed in a similar way to the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in WDC. Hundreds of names of people that were killed by cars were stenciled in the streets of Portugal. Check out the video to see the entire process unfold. via Web Urbanist
The “Breath Bra” was created as a simple excersize using a LilyPad Arduino to record its wearer’s breath over the course of a day or week and transmit the data over a Bluetooth connection to their cellphone (in this case a Nokia N95). Check out the link below for code on this build. Breath Bra
