Get Some "Blueprints"Find some schematics for your favorite fictional starship or whatever. I used this drawing of the RSI Aurora from Star Citizen. For something more from the appropriate era, you might go for the Nautilus. You could also obviously...
Clean Up the ImageOpen up the image in your editor of choice. We're going to have to make some changes.1. Turn the saturation all the way down to get a black and white image.2. Adjust the levels for maximum contrast.3. Invert the colors. What you want...
In order to add wireless access point capability to your media server, you need to install hostapd (hostapd_8192cu from AUR if your wifi dongle is based on a rtl8192cu chipset) and dhcp. If you have installed yaourt as stated in an upper Build Instruction,...
1. The first thing I did after coming up with the idea is to find a way to control 3 sets of 8 leds on each with a minimum amount of wires. I found an article that talked about shift registers and went ahead and ordered a few to try them out. following...
What we're doing is exploring the data rate limitations of glass by streaming high quality video to the heads up display(HUD) while sending orientation data to the Beaglebone. Both the video data streaming from the camera through the Beaglebone and the...

Greetings fellow Enthusiasts Let me introduce myself. I'm Bones MacGyver. I like to make sparks.I'm going to do my best to help out the community with their battery woes.By no means am I a battery expert. But I have used and abused MANY Ni-Cd cells (and...
Winding the inductors is easier than you might think! I used about 4 feet of 18GA Magnet wire to wind the inductors for this particular power supply. Each inductor has ~30 turns on it for an inductance of about 90uH. If you don't have...
Now that the PSU is done, Arguably the most difficult part, the rest is pretty easy. There are two major components that need to be built now: The control circuit for the HV psu, and the Hand sensor.These are the last two critical custom...
In this step, how the Arduino shield stack gets assembled, and how to wire your wave shield will be discussed. If you remember the note from the top in step 1, You hopefully used stacking headers to build your wave shield. If you didn't,...
