GetLoFi posted this demo of a hacked Korg Kaossilator with a variable clock, resulting in some sweet time/pitch stretches – Sometimes newer devices get overlooked for purposes of circuit bending. Two main reasons are price and abundant use of SMT components almost too small to work on. The Kaosillator is one such device. However once […]
Earlier this week I was exiting an event in San Francisco’s Potrero Hill neighborhood when I bumped into PizzaHacker and his amazing Franken-Webber portable wood burning pizza oven.
This morning’s post about remote controls prompted Austrian maker Markus Hirsch to send a link to a project he’s working on: a GameBoy Advance remote control. The project, which is still in development, calls for adding an ATMEL AVR tiny44 microcontroller, an IR diode and an IR receiver to a GameBoy. Basically, the tiny44 and […]
I love these makeshift hidey-bars people make in offices…
Here’s an interesting, if possibly questionable idea. The folks over at Flowering Elbow converted a sewing machine into a scroll saw.
The solar dog prototype charger from Erik Schiegg is a solar panel attached to a dog sweater. I’m not sure how efficient it is, but I could see this being handy.
Have you ever been in a situation where you needed to get up to go do something, but didn’t want to leave a game for fear your system would go to sleep while you were away and you couldn’t use a software hack to nudge the system? Maker Todd Harrison had a similar issue and decided to build a device that closes a circuit every 25 seconds inside a Wiimote shaped candy tin.
