Fresh hacks every day
[Jim] just finished restoring an old Seeburg USC1 jukebox for his father using an Arduino, replacing an electromechanical rats nest of wires. The stack of 45 records were replaced with an Arduino Mega 2560 with an Sparkfun MP3 player shield, and he jukebox lights are now controlled with 74595 shift registers.

Not satisfied with having to posses physical access to a car in order to hack the computer system, they continued probing away, and found quite … Read the rest

First change of the project was to replace the sometimes difficult to find … Read the rest
