I'd always wanted a CPU gauge for my computer. Ok, and a bandwidth gauge for my router. You name it, I want a nice analog gauge for it. It always seemed a bit silly to use an true galvanometer based analog gauge for signals that are inherently digital....

Intending to keep this as compact as possible I'm looking at BGA packages for SRAM and std package for the SPI Flash. The several that I've chosen will enable me to keep costs below $30 for the whole board (target = $25) and still have head room...
The main controller board is an off-the-shelf Parallax Quickstart board. I designed and built a custom shield that provided a power supply for the project and driver outputs (TC4427) for the LED strings. Though we didn't use it, the board also holds...
Details, details ,details..... It's alive. (The electronics/coding is actually the easy part...) The real challenge is those semi-translucent tubes... Found some cheap transparent tubes at Home Depot used for storing flourescent light-bulbs. 1 1/2 "...
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...

Keep in mind, for windows 7+ I had to change the friendly names of each web cam so that Processing can address each one consistently. Here is a tutorial: http://www.eightforums.com/customization/15321-tu... Also, here is an Instructable to hack the power...
For a while had been wanting to experiment with having touchscreens around the house to add more home control options to a location. Having a smartphone and older iPod touches used as remote controls, I knew they aren't always within reach or easily...

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...
There's a lot of small detailed steps to this setup, but most are common things you'd be doing with each component individually.. ie: setting up Linux on the beaglebone.. connecting solar to batteries, through the charge controller. This is all basic...
