This project uses IRLB8721PbF MOSFETS. These particular devices are good for the Arduino because the base current required to fully open the gate is less than 5v. I chose to use a power supply case to house this project. The built in fan will supply plenty of airflow over the heatsinks attached to the MOSFET’s. […]

In this fun and easy project (which originally appeared in the Spy Tech edition of Make Magazine), you’ll connect a shirt-pocket “amplified listener” hearing aid with an in-car FM transmitter to create a wireless bug. Then you’ll tuck them inside a hollowed-out book with the microphone (mic) concealed by the dust cover, and you’ll have […]
