By Cristiana Yambo and Sebastian Boaz The easiest way to start circuit bending is “playing open circuits.” That’s where you open up an audio device and use your hands or alligator clips to mess with the board inside and see what it sounds like.
This year my son was enamored of Advent calendars – the idea of getting a little something every day from Hanukkah to Christmas.
My previous tutorial shows how to construct a simple sheet metal “bridge,” which, in combination with an ice cube bucket and an olive jar, makes an effective pneumatic trough for collecting gas samples over water.
With three socks, two stick-on eyes, and a thin scrap of material, in half an hour you will have a simple string puppet.
If you aspire to do more than blink an LED with your new Arduino or Netduino, you need a prototyping shield that allows you to build a circuit.
Although it sounds like some kind of euphemism from Brave New World, a “pneumatic trough” is actually a very handy piece of classic chemistry lab kit.
This tutorial will show you how to hack your iPod Touch or iPhone!
Fist of all this hack is legal as well as safe.
Make trick crackers that go off like a gunshot and burst into a blinding, sparkling ball of flame.
I’ve had color organs on the brain since the last installment of the circuit skills series, so I decided try my hand at a new incarnation of the basic 3-channel sound-to-light machine using high-power LEDs.
Why settle for ho-hum jewelry when you can have a one-of-a-kind piece like this one?
While my Thanksgiving menu is pretty predictable, the one thing that is really set in stone is Shallots in Red Wine.
