A friend of mine just posted up the tutorial for these sweet custom high-heeled clipless bike shoes on Instructables, and I must say I’m very impressed! How awesome would you be, biking around town in a pair of these?
Andrew Salomone uses a hacked knitting machine from the 80s to “print” digital images into knitted garments. At World Maker Faire New York 2011, Andrew demonstrates the knitting machine and shows off its creations including a sweater with Bill Cosby’s face.
Windell of Evil Mad Scientist Laboratories shows you how to make a rad LED tie, similar to the ones sported by the guys in Kraftwerk, the 70s electronic music masters from Germany. The Kraftwerk tie has nine red LEDs in a vertical row, and one lights up after the one above it in a simple […]
I can’t wait until my mom can just e-mail me dinner, when she worries that I’m not eating properly, and all I will have to do is print it with Cornell’s Creative Machines Lab’s Food Printer. The CCML food printers require edible inks and electronic blueprints called FabApps. This machine prints food using multiple cartridges, […]
If you use conductive thread in your projects, then you might want to check out this tutorial for making a seam ripper that also tests the electrical path of conductive thread by instructables member Plusea. This seam-ripper has a continuity meter built in. An LED lights up to indicate when an unwanted electrical connection is […]
Instructables user, Plusea, shares this cool tutorial for making a functioning breadboard pincushion. This pincushion design has strips of conductive fabric adhered to its surface, so that metal pins or component contacts that protrude through the same piece of conductive fabric are electrically connected. This cushion can be used for prototyping electrical circuits as well […]
This brilliant bag from Kalani Craig for Knitty kind of blows my mind. It’s bag that uses LEDs and a Lilypad Arduino to display stitches of a knitting pattern. The video above explains it well, and shows how the different blinking LEDs stand for different types of stitches. Yep, this bag knows everything. It knows […]
