Fresh hacks every day
[Oneironaut] is back at it again, churning out yet another great hack in this long-distance night vision build. This isn't the first time we've seen him build a night vision device, you may remember the monocle he put together using the view finder from an old camcorder. This time around he'll give you look at distant object by using a laser instead of LEDs. He pulled an IR laser diode out of an … [Read more...]
Only a little bit out of season but better late than never! [Scott] brings us his Black Rock City Navigator. This unique bike mounted GPS device made for Burning Man 2010 features a servo driven array of LEDs. Two LED strips are used to cover the full 240 degrees of the C shaped city without modifying the servo, and are rotated over the different compass points. It is powered by a pair of … [Read more...]
You almost have to love this Arduino based robot just because of the wheels and third leg support. Look closely, do you recognize them? Yep, they're Capsela parts! That's a blast from the past and we wonder why we don't see the strange building toys of yore used in more hacks? But we digress, this little bugger guy uses continuous rotation servos for locomotion. Perched atop the body is a third … [Read more...]
[Powder4u] wanted to make a persistence of vision display for his bicycle but with 50 cm of snow on the ground it's hard to get out and ride right now. Instead he made this persistence of vision ski-pole accessory. We asked him to share some details and he obliged. It's made using an Arduino compatible ATmega168, LEDs with resistors, and installed on some protoboard. The enclosure is a clear … [Read more...]
