If you haven’t yet signed up for our Weekend Projects Newsletter, then you’re missing out on some seriously fun, beginner-friendly electronics projects. We’ve already built a Floating Glow Display, and hacked together a USB Webcam Microscope – both in just a few hours over a weekend.
Admittedly the sign is no longer “floating,” but I modified last week’s Weekend Project, the Floating Glow Display, using an empty CD jewel case, and these are the results. I wanted to be able to swap out the “sign” element of the Floating Glow Display, so the flip-lid of the jewel case allows me to do this (CD covers and inserts are an industry standard 12cm x 12cm).
We have two projects under our metaphorical belts in our new Weekend Projects series, and they both prove what cool stuff you can build just a few hours of your precious weekend time. Personally, I’m interested in the Floating Glow Display and will be stopping by a RadioShack in Queens tomorrow to pick up some […]
Want to make a Floating Glow Display from a small, simple battery clip? Find out how in our second installment of Weekend Projects, using a CR2032 Battery Holder exclusive to RadioShack (you can find it in stock at most stores).
Do you want to build some sweet projects in next-to-no time, over the weekend? Of course you do. Look no further than the new Weekend Projects section of Make: Projects, brought to you by RadioShack and The Great Create. Each week over the coming months we’ll be building clever, fun, mostly beginner-friendly, electronics projects.
