Fresh hacks every day
Cries of "I am root!" abound once again with the rooting of Sony's PRS-T1 eBook reader. The eBook Reader Blog took the original rooting directions and then looked at some of the things you can do with root access. This hardware is based around an ePaper display, but we must say that the performance seems to be fantastic. There may be a few missing features from the original user interface … [Read more...]
[Garrett Mace] decided to beef up his 58 inches of plasma with 60 Watts of LED lighting. After seeing a ton of Ambilight clones using his LED modules, he's built his own powerful system. Not surprisingly, it's nothing short of professional-grade work. Kudos to [Garrett] for showing the entire process in the video after the break. We're talking about his planning stages, which are so often left … [Read more...]
[Sam] is an avid Halloween builder and has been hard at work on a time-machine simulator for this year's festivities (alternate link). He recently assembled the enclosure which is seen above. It's got room for two riders who will be strapped in place, with plenty of interior items to keep them occupied. There will be three LCD monitors acting as front and side windows for the time machine. In … [Read more...]
[Cosimo Orlando] has a Motorola Xoom tablet. It's an Android device that works great as a tablet, but can double as a Laptop when you need it to by adding a keyboard. The problem he was having is that the USB On-The-Go cables that he tried were never the right size or orientation. So he scavenged them for parts and built his own flat cable for a custom fit. The final product pictured here … [Read more...]
It's less than 5 days away from Halloween and the projects to scare small children are pouring in. [Noel] sent in his robotic Halloween mask he's been working on, and the only way his build could be any better is by placing it underneath a child's bed. [Noel] took the mask he used last year and stuffed a few styrofoam craft balls inside to 'fill it up.' Two LEDs and a PIR sensor were fitted … [Read more...]
[lovablechevy] loves her Retro Duo console, especially since it takes up less space than the NES and SNES it has replaced. There's a small problem though: the Retro Duo isn't 100% compatible with her old Nintendo cartridges. Battletoads is a deal breaker for her, so she built Nintenduo, an NES/SNES console that uses all original Nintendo hardware. The Queen of Bondo began her project with a … [Read more...]
If you have been chomping at the bit to give drag and drop Arduino programming a try, Minibloq is finally in Beta and ready for you to test! We mentioned the application back in April of this year, when [Julián da Silva] was still in the early stages of developing the software. His graphical programming environment is meant to put the power of the Arduino and its derivatives into the hands of … [Read more...]
