Check out this great prototyping technique! Thanks dwrenne!

To build any electronics handicrafts, there are some wiring materials. I think most people are wiring circuit board with PTFE (Teflon) insurated wire. But the PTFE wire is not suitable for wiring material with solder due to following reasons.

• Wires on the circuit board gets like a dish of pasta when wired many number of wires because its insulator is tick.
• And changing a part of the circuit will be difficult.
• Working efficiency is not good, each wire must be stripped to be solderd.

So I recommend to use UEW for protoboard. The UEW is polyurethane coated copper wire which is used to inductors and small transformers. This wiring method is minor way, yet. However, it has cleard that problems, so that it is better way for wiring on the protoboard.
To wire with UEW, a wiring tool called “wiring pen” is used. The wiring pen is often sold with PCB kits, however, they are not useful because its tip is dull. When you did not satisfy bought wiring pen, it will be better to build it yourself. I built the wiring pen from a drawing pen.

Here’s a cool Smart Car system for your car with GPS tracking so you don’t have to pay some
big name service to track where your car is.

Do you need to control your vehicle using your cellphone or track
where it is in the world on your computer?
Here’s a cool smart car system built using the CUBLOC CB220 as the
brain and CLCD420B for display. They obviously hooked up some GPS
modules and some GPRS modems to make it work nice.
Our distributor in India built this,
awesome job guys!

Also check out the PDF with detailed features.
If you want to get hands on one of these systems or be a distributor
for it if you own a Auto company, contact Autopay Solutions.

Here’s a cool hack for your XBOX 360 if you want to make it like a Wii controller or a SixAxisController.

The accelerometer works by outputting varying voltages for varying accelerations. I will use a 3-axis accelerometer so it will output 3 varying voltages. I will use an analog-to-digital converter to get the signals into a micro controller. The micro controller will do the processing that determines how the controller is tilted. It will then be output as an analog voltage to the controller in place of the on board potentiometers that are controlled by the analog stick.

Analog sticks work by adjusting two potentiometers (pots). After I took the controller all apart and experimented I found the potentiometers had an upper voltage of 1.61 volts and a lower voltage of 0 volts. On the up/down pot all the way up is 1.61 volts and all the way down is 0 volts. On the left/right pot all the way right is 0 volts and all the way left is 1.61 volts.”

Here’s a cool hack if you use a lot of barcodes and carry a whole bunch of cards that you don’t
need. A barcode is simply a number when translated. You can refer to our touchscreen barcode
reader also for how to make a simple bar code reader.

Well, I know we have been posting bunch of videos, but yes, we were hibernating so we can
make a new cool video website!  :p  Anyways, you can check it out since we are just gettin’
started!
Okay, here’s a cool video site that you can check out that we, me and Kenji made yesterday
for fun! It’s basically a bunch of videos that are Da Bomb!

If you have some cool videos, make sure to submit them to Da Bomb TV!
