Fresh hacks every day
Spinning DNA animation using sprites
[James Bowman] shows a way to use sprites to simulate parts of DNA moving in 3 dimensional space. The animations are driven by an Arduino board and Maple board, which allows a comparison of the processing differences between the two. [Thanks Andrew]
Tiny Pong
This Pong game is so small (translated), you’ll … Read the rest
[Nikolai] has a friend who is into fire and light shows. Her birthday was coming up, so [Nikolai] decided to build something to compliment her performances. He came up with a 10 cm LED ball (Russian, Google translation) that has a matrix of 256 LEDs wrapped around its surface.
The ball’s structural support is its own PCBs. The bottom … Read the rest
Love them or hate them, plenty of people around the world use QR codes on a daily basis. Since he thinks they’re pretty great, Hackaday reader [falldeaf] thought it would be cool to put together an automatic QR code generator to be used on web sites.
Inspired by the custom QR logo embedding work done by our own [Brian Benchoff]… Read the rest
When [Peter] saw the Sparkfun Magician robot chassis in a recent new product post, he knew instantly that he had to have one for a telepresence project that had been kicking around in his head for a while.
Onto the robot chassis, he added an Arduino to provide the brains of the bot, an Adafruit motor shield for controlling the … Read the rest
[Bertho] might have outdone himself this time. He built a Lights Out clone for the 7400 logic competition.
Lights Out is an electronic toy sold by Tiger in the mid 90s. The goal of the game is to turn a 5 by 5 grid of light up buttons off. There’s a catch, though – pressing a button toggles the state … Read the rest
For all you teledildonics enthusiasts, there’s a new Vibrator shield for the Arduino. It gets better: you can use the Pen15 shield with a Kinect for wholesome and natural fun at home.
Decency and a ‘safe for work’ style prevents us from putting everything we know on the front page, so keep reading after the break.… Read the rest
