After checking out the last installment of our Circuit Skills series, Mark Warwick went to work building his own take on the function generator project using a Pelican case + a custom laser-etched front panel. As you can see, the results are quite awesome! Additional infos after the jump – I’ve had quite a bit […]
Erica from P.S. – I made this has a fashionably sweet tutorial on how to make a pom pom necklace inspired by the pastel colors on the spring runways. Look for an exclusive fashion project later this month by Erica here on CRAFT!
The folks at cellbots.com are at it again. This time around they’ve swapped out all the 5v components for 3.3v and in doing so have wired everything to run off the G1’s internal battery.
Here’s a follow-up video to Jeri’s earlier run through of her fabrication of an NMOS (N-channel) transistor. Here, she demonstrates some of the electrical characteristics of a P-channel transistor she fabricated in her home chip lab. Surface-mount it ain’t, but hey, homemade!

I love the flashy, wild aesthetic of Owlita feather earrings. What’s even cooler is the story behind the company: a classic crafter gone pro. The site’s About page tells the story of founder and chief designer Ashley Doty: Born and raised in Oregon, Ashley began defining her creativity at an early age. Always a dreamer […]
This looks interesting – Stray Technologies is offering a USB-MIDI controllable kit based on the YM2149 sound generator IC, famed for its use in classic computer and game consoles – The chip is most well known for its use in the Apple II Mockingbird soundcards and Atari ST computers. The YM or the chip from […]
Three Ways to Power an Arduino Off-Grid @ Voltaic DIY Solar! We get a lot of questions about how to run an Arduino off of solar panels. We decided to do a bit of testing and came up with three pretty simple ways to run an Arduino even if you aren’t near your computer or […]
