An open-source prototyping shield for Arduino, the ProtoShield kit has tons of cool features to make prototyping on your Arduino easy. With room for small or large breadboards for DIP chips, plus a surface-mount prototyping area too, you’ll be testing all kinds of project ideas in no time.
Casper Electronics is currently taking PCB & kit pre-orders for the 4 voice synth/rhythm generator/effects processor beast better known as the Drone Lab. The v2 design sports 25 board-mount pots – good news for those who tire of tedious panel wiring. Knowing the designer (Pete Edwards), I’m guessing this’ll be a fun one to mod/hack/bend […]
What Bildr is attempting to do is very admirable. It makes good sense. It will be glorious, if it happens. Something similar has been talked about in tech DIY circles for years. The idea is to create a visual Web-based library of componentized instruction sets, “building blocks,” for doing various hardware and software constructions. Put […]
The Gakken Cross Copter EX has two contra-rotating rotors, driven by one small electric motor that’s connected via a cord to the hand-powered generator. Build one of three configurations or try one of your own!
A very simple breadboard power supply kit that takes power from a DC wall wart and outputs a selectable 5V or 3.3V regulated voltage.
Joe Bowers designed a case for his Chumby Guts and asked me to laser cut it for him. It reminds me of an old television set.
Instructables user neorazz has posted a tutorial on how to build a dust separator attachment for your shop vac. It is described as “cyclonic,” which it may or may not actually be (see the comments), but it does, apparently, work quite well at separating out the heavier bits of flotsam (which ends up in the bucket) from the actual dust (which goes on to the vacuum).
