Tom Nunn demonstrates the “skatchbox” a simple percussion box outfitted with contacts mics and a plethora of objects for scraping, tapping, swiping, etc. The shuffling and raspy textures the boxes make are pretty unique, certainly warranting further investigation by audio experimentalists out there. And if you’ve got some plastic combs, a piezo disc, and a […]

Fred points out this schematic for a rather interesting radiotelephone transmitter instantaneously powered by the operator’s voice – One of the neatest minimalist amateur radio transmitter circuits around – this one is voice powered – it provides DSB, (double side band)modulation and power from an ordinary 8-ohm speaker – if are in doubt that the […]
Dino sent us this vid demonstrating some potential audio effects resulting from landline-to-cellphone delay times. Strictly speaking “reverb” is usually considered as sound delays with no discernible separation – but hey, who’s counting? Good clean fun to try at home- would definitely be cool to see this effect taken advantage of in a live performance […]
This is the second revision of my PIC based LED binary clock. The original version was the first PIC project I attempted, it used a PIC16F84A to do both the timekeeping and control the display matrix, unfortunately it didn’t keep good enough time and gained about a minute every week.
From the MAKE Flickr pool In need of a more visible level for setting up long exposure night shots, zomie made an LED illuminated level attachment for use with his DSLR + Gorillapod setup. Check out his instructable for the step-by-step.
From the MAKE Flickr pool Augustson designed etched and assembled a specialized Arduino board for a new robotics project – What is ADM 1.0? Basically we built an Arduino, added a Dual Motor Controller to it and a small prototyping area. Hence the name ADM (Arduino Dual Motor). The board works and is programmed just […]
