Circuitry Hacks

As devices get smaller and smaller, surface mount devices (SMD) are becoming more popular.  As an alternative to traditional, larger through hole components, SMD components save space on PCBs.  One glance at the tiny size of the components can...

Here’s another fantastic tutorial from our Open Source Arduino master, Matt. See all of our Arduino projects. In the spirit of the open source gameboy (#5 on the Top 40 Arduino Projects of the Web), Matt's latest project uses a few Arduino...

This is a fantastic, unique project which uses RFID tagged pictures to select and play album. The system utilizes the easy to use arduino microcontroller platform along with an RFID reader and is also ethernet enabled. See more pics and...

This one eyed engineer has built himself a tiny wireless camera which fits into his empty eye socket.� He calls it the Eyeborg Project.� A news interview of the inventor is above and another discussion is below.� If this isn't weird enough,...

This gaming hobbyist has shown that there is more than one way to take a photograph. He has found a unique way to get something more out of his work as an x-ray technician. His "camera" of choice is an X-Ray machine of course: Using his spare...

Using spare resistors, caps, pots, chips, sockets, and other electronic parts, this man created outstanding circuitry figurines. More pictures and details can be found on his Flickr page. You can find supplies for your next DIY project in our...

Taking a break from circuitry, we're going to show you some outstanding chemistry hacks.� First, we have liquid magnets called ferrofluid (which you can buy on eBay or make your own).� Next, we have fantastic demonstrations of sulfur...

We all have left over components, circuit boards, hard drives, you name it. Check out some of these inspiring "recycling" projects and turn your left over junk into outstanding masterpieces.� Listed below are a few of our favorite reuse...
