This "project" exists, because the only way to connect my Powerbook G3 to Internet is via its 56k modem; I like to browse old sites via Wayback Machine proxy for fun. Its Ethernet chip has disappeared and Airport card isn't here yet. However, hauling...
I'm co-running the MakeRiga hackerspace. To be exact, I take care of its internals so that it has some potential to grow - register and onboard members, do cleanup and upgrades, organize events, take care of the infrastructure and so on - in return,...
I originally came up with the idea because I had an OLED display lying around, but no way to use it. So I turned it into a watch! I have been working on it for around a year now, and I have documented progress on my website: http://jared.geek.nz/2014/jul/oshw-oled-watch This...
8-13-14 This project is brand new and probably too late for the Hackaday Prize, but whatever...It is based on an Electric Imp (www.electricimp.com) that very easily connects a sensor or switch to the Internet. This is the type of project where...
Security has always been a delicate balance between difficulty of bypassing and convenience. Think of all the various authentication "tokens" you use throughout the day. House keys, car keys, & numerous passwords to your gadgets & websites. These all...
The previous option was to provide small PCB satellites which are programmable in BASIC.This didn´t give a good feedback from the community.But I received several questions regarding using your own hardware - which of course is the more exciting...
Pinballs..... How can you not love them? There are an art form all their own. Once you step past just "Mashing the Flippers", you realize they often have a deep ruleset and mini games. And then there is the artwork and the lights and sounds!Needless...
This Blog isn't directly related to growing food, but is one that a few people might find interesting. After all good pollination of fruiting plants is heavily dependant on bee's. You can buy kits to convert your honey extractor from human powered to...
“Others have seen what is and asked why. I have seen what could be and asked why not. ”― Pablo Picasso, Pablo Picasso: Metamorphoses of the Human Form : Graphic Works, 1895-1972 That's probably a little dramatic, but it is a good quote....
As a long-time diabetic, I finally made the switch over to an insulin pump. Part of using a pump means changing infusion sets periodically. An infusion set consists of a tiny tube inserted under the skin, with a plastic piece that connects to a detachable...
So.. my idea was to replace my "old" house number with something funny but still practical.I've found a "default" solar light including some stick-on house numbers online for about $25.I still had a movement sensor; base shield for the Arduino Nano V3...
Features neededweatherproofprecise to about +-1°Ceasy to handletemperature probe mounted to a > 1m lanceWhat I builtI didn't have time to create a PCB, solder everything etc. so I bought a off the shelf thermometer with a 3m cable DS18B20 probe....
Noritake is a famous for making china-ware "Setomono" but also for VFD (Noritake Ise denshi). I've known VFD is just a device showing digit but they made a incredible device. A triode by VFD technology!!!Most of vacuum tune requires high voltage but...
This project started when I wanted to make a countdown sign for Protospace's annual Fall Open House, to notify members in the space (because we had members show up last year during the Open House wanting to work on their projects, so apparently announcing...
The Atmega8 is flashed with an Arduino bootloader, and is clocked with the internal oscillator at 8MHz. Because the Atmega8 doesn't contain a sufficient number of PWMs, a software PWM is used to drive two RGB leds (it requires six PWM channels). A photo...
