Dyson V6 Setup and Running System Dyson handheld vacuum cleaners utilize high RPM brushless DC motors. Specifications indicate that some models can reach as high as 125000 RPM. I’ve disassembled DC56(V2), V6, and V10 models. Each has a brushless single-phase...
Long ago, in a land called Kettering, OH, my 14-year-old self got bored, restless and discontent, but this was no ordinary case of adolescent ennui. I was jealous, longing, consumed by the desire to do one thing above all else. It was a crazy...
It seems like most HackADay projects involve Arduinos, in their various forms. I view Arduino as a gateway drug: it lets people start experimenting with micro controllers, but you will (probably) soon outgrow them. My first micro controller project,...
Dear Sally,Thanks for your postcard! Was that a real antique or one of your amazing replicas? You have a real artistic sense, always have. It made me think back to when I met you, over a hundred years ago now! I would have said it warms the heart to...
DESCRIPTIONA gradually improving attempt to make a useful pcb mill out of a printer and other assorted garbage, with a minimal budget and no fancy tools. It works!, but let's see how much better it can be.DETAILSNOTE: This project is gradually improving....
WORKING: IN PROGRESSThis is going right into one of my project folder, even though, I have three custom builds already in the works it would be the easiest to finish. I got to pull together specs because I'm not going to do a traditional portable Gameboy...
I have a number of project ideas scribbled on paper or flying around in my head and getting lost that I need somewhere to organize them. This is just a list of ideas that might or might not amount to anything in the long run. I will add to this list...
Seems like every month I stumble over an idea and can't get rid of it. This time of year I always get nostalgic and thought about using the fubarino as an cartridge reader and programmer for simple eeprom cartridges. I'm already developing a little board...
Welcome to the e!After visiting the HaD Munich Event i also had the chance to attend the Electronica. As followed there are some impressions :) In reality there was much more to see and do and loot ;-)No electronics but impressive construction site vehicle...
Almost three years ago I bought some 0805 cyan LEDs to make a tiny stargate inspired display. Since I haven't figured out any markings and wasn't able to hand solder them the project was on ice. Last week I've revisited the idea and designed some pcbs...
First let me apologize for the pictures, I was too lazy to grab my DSLR so my "trusty" Samsung Galaxy S2 had to be enough.So let's dive into my adventure with SMD soldering with a toaster oven. I had all I would need to test this method myself. The boards...
They certainly are! To think, as a kid, in the 1980s (yes, I'm still a kid)... LEDs were cool, but kinda limited. Now, holy moley, these things are really spiffy.My original order was 120 of them, and I'm likely not going to use all of those for the...
