News to me, the Digg folks are on it “With all the attention on the new ministore presentation, no one seems to have noticed that iTunes 6.02 enables video-sharing to your local network. Whether it’s intended for an upcoming home media appliance or not I don’t know, but it brings videos up to par with music.”Link. I think we’ll see an Airport express AV to stream video to our TVs soon. I need to try this out and see if it works with purchased video, I’m guessing no?
Ian writes “This ‘instructable’ covers my new design that programs 8/14/18/28/40 pin PICs. The circuit is based on the JDM2 programmer, with two enhancements: clock and data line filtering; selectable programming voltage. The ZIP archive contains all the project files. Schematic layout for an updated JDM2 PIC Programmer. Includes clock & data filter, Vpp voltage divider for modern PIC microcontrollers (eg USB PIC 18F2455/4455).”Link.
“This project combines an Apple iPod with a T+A-hifi stereo system (R-system). The iPod can be plugged into the stereo system and does not only deliver the Audio-signal to the T+A-system but is also remote controllable with the T+A remotecontrol without an own infrared receiver.The following iPods are supported: All iPods with dock connector, but not the iPod Mini!”Link.
Chris has a how to on cleaning equipment that has water damage – “…I noticed the white calcium rings on the box and on the transformer, something had been dripping into it. Apparently it had rained quiet hard a couple of days earlier and water had dropped in from the balcony through a crack in the concrete and dropped down on the Linksys.”Link.
Mat_the_w writes “Everybody loves LCD monitors because they are so portable and perfect for LAN parties, but I am always afraid of something falling and damaging the soft screen when I travel with my LCD. After purchasing a nice 19 inch Dell display, I decided I needed something to protect my investment. I cut and molded a piece of acrylic plexiglass to form a cover for my LCD monitor.” Here’s the how-to on Instructables. Link.
Slashdot has a post about Michael Golembewski’s homemade digital camera projects. He writes – “For the past three years, I’ve been taking apart cheap secondhand flatbed scanners and turning them into homemade large format digital cameras. They are well over 100 mexapixel in resolution, and produce results that are both similar to and significantly different from traditional digital and conventional cameras.” [via] Link.
Mostlyaudio’s article about building the AudioNote Kit1 PQ Signature Edition SET amplifier. “This kit will build a very high quality Single-Ended, Class A, directly heated triode amplifier. The amplifier will support a single line source (unless a pre-amp is used that will support more sources) as it incorporates a volume control. It has a class A output of 8watts per channel. Don’t be put off by this seemingly low wattage as it is every bit as loud, position for position, as my my old 40W Linn solid state amplifier was through the same speakers. It also has an input impedance of around 100K which is more than ample for a huge range of source components.”Link.
