Fresh hacks every day
For playing around with video signals and trying to create a an interesting microcontroller project, you can’t do better than the classic Pong. We’ve seen our share of microcontroller-based pong builds, but rarely have we seen an 8-pin microcontroller recreate every part of the first video game.
[Tim] started his PIC12F1840-based Pong build with just a few buttons for … Read the rest
[spiralbrain] has a beautiful KTM Duke 200 motorcycle, but he’s found the factory configuration is a little bit plain. Wanting to add his own unique touch to his bike, he decided to add a ‘breathing LED’ to the parking light that slowly changes its brightness much like the LED on recent Macs.
From the factory, [spiralbrain]‘s bike uses extremely inefficient … Read the rest
[Simon] came up with an improved version of Lord Vetinari’s clock that begs to be installed in waiting rooms around the world.
Last week, we were introduced to a real-life Vetinari Clock that keeps regular time but ticks at irregular intervals. It’s a great way to turn someone’s mind into porridge, but the original build broke after a few weeks … Read the rest
