The LED Sewing kit from the Maker Shed was inspired by Becky Stern’s Electronic Embroidery article from CRAFT Volume 09 You can follow the instructions in the article, or come up with your own unique electronic embroidery piece. It’s a great way to get started with soft electronics.
Do you miss the freaky, sweepy sounds of Yar’s Revenge? Here’s the kit for you: the Atari Punk Console Kit, a simple and fun sound generator. The original circuit was developed by Forrest M. Mims III. It was named the Atari Punk Console by Kaustic Machines, due to the similarity of the sounds it makes to an Atari 2600.
The Arduino Nano is a surface mount breadboard embedded version with integrated USB. It is small, complete, and breadboard friendly. This new version 3.0 comes with ATMEGA328 which offers more programming and data memory space, the power LED has been moved to the top, and the pin labels have been rearranged for easier use. It is two layers, making it easier to hack and more affordable.

In the Makers Market: LED hula hoop kits
prodmod_hoop.JPG
From seller ProdMod, this cool kit for making your own color-changing LED hula hoop that collapses for storage like a band-saw blade:
Use this kit in combination with 10.5 feet of tubing (sold separately) to build your own LED hoop. This is the easiest of my kits to assemble. The battery lasts about 5 hours of continuous use, and can be easily replaced for a new one. This kit includes: One Lithium Battery, 12 feet of paired wire, One Slide Switch, One Tube Connector, 21 LEDs.
A rechargeable hoop kit is also available, which includes a rechargeable battery, a charger, and an integral charging jack to install in the hoop.
The Posc is a battery powered, pocket sized oscillator. It has two square wave oscillators, one of which is controlled by changes in the user’s skin resistance over two metal contacts. The pitch of the second square wave oscillator is controlled by manipulating the amount of light received by the light dependent resistor. The Posc can be set to work in either stereo or mono output through a standard 1/4″ audio jack, so is compatible with a wide range of audio equipment. It is ideal for use with guitar amplifiers and effects pedals, PA systems, and can even be plugged directly into your computer or Hi-Fi audio inputs….A free effects rack for the Posc is also available from our software page.
What’s got four 7-segment displays (and driver), a temperature sensor, a PWM RGB LED, and plugs into an Arduino? Why it’s the Arduino 7-Segment Shield! This is a 7-segment shield for Arduino NG/Dicimila/Duemilanove and many Freeduino boards. It has tons of cool features! Fully assembled and tested! NOTE: Does not include the Arduino board.
It’s about time somebody made a media award that actually does something other than serve as a impromptu murder weapon. At this years SXSW festival, the Web Awards were built around Bleep Labs’ Thingamagoop 2, the analog synth toy (which now has digital/Arduino-control capability). Bleep Labs In the Maker Shed: Thingamagoop 2 Our Price: $100.00 […]
