I really like all these open-source projects that are springing up all over the place. Amazing! MPGuino is part of the OpenGauge instrumentation effort, which was created to make available efficiency instrumentation […]
Why would you make an Arduino on stripboard? The maker has a hard time getting PCB’s made where he lives. Check out the site for details about the build. As a special bonus, you can see what happens when you solder a capacitor in backwards. BOOM! More about making an Arduino on stripboard In the […]
BoingBoing links to the jaw-dropping Museum of Fabric Brain Art: This is the world’s largest extant collection of anatomically correct fabric brain art. Inspired by research from neuroscience, dissection and neuroeconomics, our current exhibition features three quilts with functional images from PET and fMRI scanning and a knitted brain. The artists are Marjorie Taylor and […]
The future of travel… Wesley writes- For years I’ve assumed that one of mankind’s greatest fantasies has been to develop a practical, personal jetpack. But if the covers of Popular Science serve as any measure for this sort of thing, then it seems that for the past few decades man’s been dreaming less about rocketing […]
This is a really cool game demo by Lok Neville Lee that uses an Arduino, accelerometer, and Papervision3D to interact with the character on the computer. The graphics look great, and the controls are awesome. I really hope more games are in the works! More about Interactive gaming with an Arduino
This how-to describes making a refrigerator that uses 1/10th the amount of energy of a traditional refrigerator. The website has a link to a PDF with all the building details. This would be a really great addition to any home running solar power, since the fridge is a major energy hog. More about a DIY […]
This is a really cheap way to get an L-Bracket for your tripod. Why use one? An L-Bracket keeps your camera centered over the tripod for added stability among other things. It’s a great addition to anyone who shoots in the studio. The cheapest one and honestly the only one, that I could find was […]
