Build an Arduino clone using the MintDuino and then program it to visualize your heartbeat in combination with the Pulse Sensor AMPed. The five LEDs mounted to the lid of the tin will flash in sync with your heartbeat's rhythm. Does your heartbeat speed up when you don't tell the truth? When you play video games? When you meditate, can you slow your heartbeat down? Build the Beatband Sleeve and find out!
The MintDuino kit is a fantastic project to help you learn the basic circuitry of an Arduino clone, but it is not mechanically sturdy enough for most projects. This breadboard-to-perfboard project will provide a solution to make your MintDuino as strong as the tin it comes in! Plus, this board layout even allows a 9V battery to fit in the tin alongside the perfboard MintDuino.
The Bass Bump Headphone Amp is an audio accessory you can build to improve all of your private music listening. It has enough power to give clear sound and punchy dynamics through most any pair of headphones, or even a set of small speakers. The custom bass enhancement circuit lets you adjust the music’s critical low-frequency spectrum to your taste.
I just finished mentoring a high school student in the build of a 4×4×4 LED cube for his senior project. I was sitting at the desk, looking at a small pile of LEDs left over from the build, trying to think of something fun to do with them, when my three-year-old daughter walked in, sat down, and started playing with her Lite Brite. The pegs, I realized, looked just like LEDs, which was all the inspiration I needed. Let's build a clock!
Zombies have to be one of the most iconic halloween costumes out there and with the popularity of AMC's "The Walking Dead", they are only getting better. However rather than going to the store and buying one of the many pre made outfits, with some liquid latex, torn up toilet tissue, a bit of cheap makeup, and a health dose of blood you can easily turn yourself into the walking dead.
