Hackaday Links: Sunday, June 16th, 2013

Summertime means mowing the grass and now [Everst X] can do so in 7.1 channel delight thanks to his wireless headphone antenna hack which extends the range.

[Kevin] is trying to build a better reverse geocache box. It’s not the GPS that he’s improving, it’s the latching mechanism. He’s got four linear latches actuated by a single servo.

What’s a links post without some blinky lights? This week we take a look at [Daniel’s] hack which connects the Ikea Dioder to a router.

It’s a pretty early prototype but we like where [Shae] is going with his spouse-friendly silent alarm. It’s a wristband you wear to bed that wakes with vibration rather than sound.

[Leland] wrote in to share his multi-console emulator. It’s built using a Raspberry Pi and he plans to fit everything inside an original Game Boy case.

Fans of the game Candy Crush may want to take a look at this hack for the iPhone version. It attacks the game by accessing the file system of a jailbroken device.

  3. Summer, sweating inside of heavy cans. Ear sauna.
    There are an even number of drivers in those phones most likely 2, and you are listening to a mixdown of something. Provenance of source.
    Still a useful wireless monitor, how much latency with a live source?

    Deaf people have these already, but this is a new style I’ve never seen before.
