Raphael Assenat writes “Since I got my webcam, I never used it for videoconferencing. Instead, I tried to do many cool things with it, like infra-red photography, security, and automated 360 degree photography of objects using a stepper”. I really like the stepper motor project (source and schematics included)…Link.
Neat project from Kaufmann’s lab…I found a USB-IDE cable online that would allow me to build my own external hard drive. Since I had a spare 40GB drive at home, I had everything I needed except for something to stuff it all in. After thinking about it for a bit, I decided to see if it would work inside of an old gutted tape recorder. This project was a lot of fun, and ended up costing me less than $20, since I had an unused drive. Thanks Brad! Link.
John sent in his USB Flash Drive HotWheels car mod. I stuffed a USB Flash Drive into a HotWheels Ferrari convertible. Basically, I had a USB drive that the case had fallen off and chose this opportunity to mod a different case rather than gluing the old case back on. I also made a little video of the build using a modded CVS camera. Link.
Miles off the paved highway and at the end of a long, bumpy driveway that cuts deep into the woods, Mick Womersley puts the finishing touches on his solar panel-topped home. It’s not your ordinary rural dwelling, even one designed to be ecologically sound. Womersley, a human ecology professor, and his wife Aimee Phillippi live comfortably in a house built of roughly 200 straw bales. Link.
Pretty much all the pieces are there. The circuit has been designed, the programming is nigh complete and all that is left is building the casing, minor tweaks here and there, and finally assembly. Even though the Silver face did take a while to come in we are still on a good time table. The prototype will be in dip packaging the final Belt Buckles will be printed for sip packaging. Photo here and more about the project here.
