There seems to be a lot of people interfacing analog meters with their micro controllers. It’s a relatively easy project to complete, and it always looks cool. Here is a nice looking analog clock from Silent Q that is made with 3 individual meters and powered by an Arduino. – Link Related: The Net Data […]
From the MAKE Flickr pool Member Cibomahto constructed this charming Arduino snake game complete with screen diffuser and a corrugated bezel. Very DIY-cute and cool, but worth 50 cents a game? . . . . Ok, maybe just one round. –Link Source code and video on Cibomahto’s site –Link Related: Snoil – Snake game with […]
Here’s a simple, adjustable laptop stand for use in bed (and in your driveway, apparently). A better laptop stand for bed – Link
Robert Bruce Thompson, author of books on everything from PC Hardware to Astronomy, is working on a new book for Make: the Illustrated Guide to Home Chemistry Experiments. So, we’ve got chemistry on our mind here, which led Dale Dougherty, the Publisher of Make, to ask Robert: I read a story last week about the […]
Mark writes – Presented is a control system for a doll house based on a PIC16F876 microcontroller. The elevator is driven by a DC motor and position is sensed by both a limit switch and optical encoder. The controller also handles control of lights for the dollhouse allowing toggle on/off functions for each pushbutton. Foyer […]
This $22,000 re-configurable networked camera array is built with off-the-shelf components. Consisting of 48 Axis 205 network cameras mounted on 6 linear guides, the cameras can each capture 640×480 rez video at 30 fps. Pretty nice setup for a relatively cheap rig considering the massive amount of tech behind it. The Self-Reconfigurable Camera Array – […]
From the MAKE Flickr pool Member 007Ben put together a digital photo frame which displays RSS feeds against custom backgrounds. A great use for that old laptop now deemed too slow for active use. Now commenters on Flickr are all asking for a copy of the script he’s using with it. –Link There’s a ton […]
