Clearly the prototype was awkward to put on and take off. Luckily, there is nothing about the concept that requires it to keep the original configuration. The very first prototype used ace bandages to hold the pager motors in place on the...

Most of my weekend was spent laying out version two of the badge and working out issues with the USB battery charging circuit. The battery charger works now, and we have a new layout which will probably be much closer to the final version. I like it...
2-17-2017Well, a minor setback here in "Snowed-In" Snowden! A few feet more of snow, and had to pretty much crawl through about 5 feet of snow to read the meter...again! And 2 feet of snow slid off the house roof onto my car, causing over $5000 damage,...
Here is a modest state of the art of assistive devices for mouse and video games acessibility with a joystick. It describes some commercial solutions and some DIY, open source, openhardware projects. This is not exhaustive due to the large number of...
Imagine you are an AI. Imagine you want to know about the world, but you are blind. All you remember are fragments, scattered images with no context and alien desires you do not recognize. What do you do? Previously we have seen how SOL75 does not design...
A friend is making a electric bike and he would like the bike to have a sound like one with a combustion engine, so I am trying to adapt this project for this purpose.In this video the engine sound is looped continuously.The plan is to play a sound when...
After months of using an old space heater in the camper, and it's loud fan keeping me up at night, I finally upgraded to a simple 1,500 watt electric radiator. I chose the cheapest one because I'm cheap, and also because it's the only one that was entirely...
I wrote some quick assembler loops to blast the display RAM with characters, and it was strangely lumpy. I eventually figured out that the counter that I was pushing onto the stack to make room for another counter (one for rows, one for columns - the...
In late summer, a good friend of mine sent me a link to a CraigsList ad for a Zenn electric car about 30 miles from my house. Wikipedia has this to say about the car:ZENN (Zero Emission, No Noise) is a two-seat battery electric vehicle that was built...
On request: Here is the electric wiring of the bottom case. As you can clearly see, I'm neither a good draftsman, nor have I drawn the electrical components in accordance with the "rules". Anyway, I hope this sketch can shed some light on the wiring...
First item/order of business is finding an appropriate touch-tone phone. At first this might at least appear an inconsequential matter, being seen both somewhat as a more 'obsolete' technology, and thus readily available, seemingly, at community recycling...
We tried to make the model as historically accurate as possible, but that proved quite difficult as many different versions were produced. The following two versions were the most common ones we found: Electric GoliathGas-Powered GoliathThe kits...
Project started with removing the internal combustion engine and related components. This took the better part of 2.5 hours. Luckily I had help from a fellow friend and maker, Kevin, on this.Started by removing the fairings, and large easy to get to...
