MAKE Flickr photo pool member Timmyj1138 posted up what looks to be the start of a great alarm clock project – “…Old Oscilloscope that didn’t function and was tube driven, I’ve modified it to be more pleasing to the eye, and I’m looking to convert it into a fully functioning alarm clock by rewiring all […]
Robodyssey shows how to upgrade the Robosapien and it looks like they’re going to sell kits soon too! – ” We hacked a Robosapien just because we thought they were so cool. After taking our robot on a couple of field trips, we were ask so many times “How did you do that?” that we […]
Westfw has a great Instructable on making printed circuit boards using EAGLE – “It’s nice that there are some professional circuit board tools available to the hobbyists. Here are some tips for using them ito design boards that don’t need a professional fabricator to actually MAKE them…” – Link.
