I needed to remove the dials and the switch from the board because I wanted to have them accessible from the rim of the ear muff. However, each of these components had a minimum of 5 pins. My approach was to use a hot air gun to melt all the solder on...
Hardware used. Seeeduino v1.1 Phaktor bought this a few years back, played with it a couple of times but it just sat in his hobby bin ‘til now. Parallax LCD http://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/27977/27... bought from RadioShack...
GoalsThe goal of this project is to emulate the Canon 600EX-RT Speedlite (via it's IEEE 802.15.4 protocol) and interpret the commands from Canon transceiver so that the Paul C Buff - Einstein light can be controlled with the Canon gear.CyberSync CSXCV...
Interactive Disk SpinThe Interactive Disk Spin was born one fateful night when Paul took the cover off an old hard drive, started compulsively spinning the shiny platters with his finger, and then wondered "how fast am I really making it go?" Two late-night...
ideally, this sticks to a window, and measures noise levels through a piezo (contact mic). the other piezo is set up to knock. the rgb is for output. on this prototype, you can use the red LED for visual indicator.detail pictures show the traces running...
This project has several components, each of which might potentially be its own project:1) The modded monocular head-mounted display/goggles2) The haptic glove interface3) The dehumidification mechanism for the goggles4) The software stack for implicit...
This was a project a few months in the making. I originally started it while I was still at SpaceX but really got to focus on it right before burning man 2013. I really wanted an 8 ft long carbon fiber staff with a ton of full bright white capable RGB...
Typically, a user should create a pointer to a cfg_struct, initialize it with cfg_init(), and then perform actions on that object (lookup, add, delete) by passing the pointer to the functions here. At end of use, call cfg_free to clean up the object....
Two weeks ago, I set off to a business trip to Germany, which is also my home country. I always try to have a few days of vacation included in such a trip in order to be able to visit my family. And what does a father with his son living in another country...
There's an old hard-disk which I stripped down so that the front only has spindle coming through. I used a mill to face off some of the protuberances and other features which held the read/write head-arm in place. At the bottom there is a PCB I...
I've wanted to build my own amp for quite a while. For bass guitar, the selection of amplifiers you can buy is pretty lack-luster, and mid-volume studio amps are hard to find. It seems like most of what's available is either a practice amp or a stadium...

The MeArm is an Open Sourced Robot Arm. It's small, like pocket sized and that's for a reason. It can be cut entirely from an A4 (or more accurately 300x200mm) sheet of acrylic and built with 4 cheap hobby servos. It's live on our site for about $35...
I bought an XMS amplifier from a friend years ago and although it was serving it's purpose I got quite frustrated with having to toggle the loudness feature every time the input was changed. This was the beginning of what has now become my network enabled...
I picked up the vacuum system from Portland State two weeks ago from a professor I know. It was too big for the little things they do and by the time it warms up and pumps down there is no time left. So they decided to get rid of this system and build...
