Every wirehead knows about breadboards, prototyping board, circuit design software, and other tools for circuit designing, but what about Lifesavers, SweeTarts, and Twix components on a graham cracker substrate? It takes the “differently wired” high domes over at Evil Mad Scientist Labs to dream up the idea of modeling circuits out of candy snacks. Models […]
Steve Anderson wrote in about an underused feature of our favorite open source video player, VLC. I discovered yesterday that the wonderful VLC media player has the ability not only to mount a DVD directory that’s been ripped to the hard drive, but also to play a .iso image of a DVD.

Not only is it perfect for embedding in projects, but the instructions Paul made to go along with it make it so easy. I wish I had a teacher like him when I was learning […]
It’s been a few days since iPhoneDevCamp wrapped up. Although I couldn’t make it there myself, the authors of the upcoming iPhone Hacks were there, and two of them (whurley and Raven Zachary) were organizers of the DevCamp. I’d say it was a success, with over 350 attendees, and 40 new applications for the iPhone […]
R. writes – The TeslaPhonic Organ is a MIDI-Controlled Dual-Resonant Solid State Tesla Coil (MIDIDRSSTC). The electrical system is made up of several subsystems. The first is the MIDI input and control interface. This interface for version 2 is based on the Atmel ATmega16 microprocessor. The TeslaPhonic organ – Link. The completed project drives a […]
