![]() | DIY Kinect-Powered DJ Mixing + Laser Show
We've seen some neat applications of the Kinect + Lasers before. This project utlizes the Kinect's gesture recognition to control lasers and audio to allow for custom DJ mix creation on the fly. It uses DMX protocol, Ableton Live, and custom... |
![]() | Levitation Fun with a Giant Scrapyard Electromagnet
**Update:** Sadly, this looks like a hoax (however, read on anyways for some awesome inspiration)
What wouldn't you do with a giant electromagnet from a scrapyard? These guys bought one on Ebay, brought it into their shop, and used it to... |
![]() | DIY LED Glass Wall
BlinkM is a smart LED that displays various shades of light effects by fading or changing color. You can buy them for about $15, but this DIYer assembled his own for about $4 to build an LED wall.
The result is this 11x11 matrix of light to an I2C... |
![]() | DIY Sound Localization Sensor with Arduino
We have covered loads of motion detection projects, but what about sound? A sound localization sensor helps you to identify the location or origin of a detected sound and find out its direction and distance. Our ears do it for us, but building an... |
![]() | DIY Tiny RC Quadrocopter
Quadrocopters are loads of fun and really neat RC projects. Instead of a body for the copter, this project uses the PCB itself as the airframe. With a weight of just 20 grams and just 8 cms long, it's as barebones as you can get. The PCB airframe... |
| | Incredible Light Painting with an Arduino
Long exposure shots can create some pretty interesting effects. Light painting takes this idea and morphs it into innovative examples of ‘illuminated’ art. If you experiment with different light sources and treat them as ‘brushes’, the... |
![]() | DIY Open Source Sunrise Alarm Clock
Artificial sunrise clocks simulate the natural light of a rising sun instead of a shrill alarm to wake you up. However, retail sunrise alarm clocks are rather spendy. Using Open Source components, a this low cost alternative can be made for under... |
![]() | DIY Furniture from Recycled Circuit Boards
They may appear to be a monstrous mess from a distance, but look closely and you'll see the extreme detail in this project. The Binary furniture collection is as new age you can get; or as geeky. All three were made from pieces of salvaged... |
![]() | DIY Drink Mixing Robot
We've seen some superb drink mixing robots in the past and here's another great addition to our collection. Each liquid has a separate pump to move the selected liquid into the final drink glass. Believe it or not, the system actually uses... |
![]() | Arduino Wireless Animatronic Hand Project
This DIY Robotic hand mimics the motions of a human counterpart. The controls lie in a special glove which has flex sensors wired to an Arduino which is connected to an XBee radio which wirelessly interfaces with a computer and controls the... |
