Wow, check out this neato bike that can power itself using the power of the Sun!

The E-V Sunny Bicycle has light absorbing Solar panels built right into the Wheels, creating continual power from the Sun’s Rays, and maintaining a constant charge to the batteries. The bike is propelled by a 500 watt front hub motor.

You know how it is, you have a got a large garden and really want a ride on mower to cut it, but they cost a couple thousand dollar, so what do you do?

Build your own like these guys have this recycling and reusing at the same time, now you would get some great eco points there, but would this really cut the grass?

There are no prices on these machines, just make your own, and be the envy of your street!

Here’s a way you can hack the ports on your iPhone and add some LED joys to your life!

When the iPhone’s initial specs were released by Apple, tons of users complained about its lack of a camera flash. Using a USB connector, 4 white LED’s, and a tact switch, I built a removable flash unit.

Cool, you can make yourself some Firefighting Wiimote Robot this weekend!

It has IR sensors which can detect a candle and a bluetooth transciever to communicate back to a host computer. I use a boebot as the robot platform, an arduino, wiimote and a Linux computer.

The wiimote uses its IR sensor to find the candle. It transmits the sensor readings back to the host computer over bluetooth ( see my earlier post for details). A C program running on the host computer reads the sensor data and sends commands back over bluetooth to the wiimote. The wiimote relays those commands to an arduino board over the wiimote’s expansion port. The expansion ports uses the I2C protocol. The arduino then controls the servos (the boebot uses servos modified for continuous rotation) and fan. The fan is controlled by a ULN8023 chip.

This fire fighting robot is still very crude. It lacks the number of sensors that you would be need to seriously compete. It is mainly a proof of concept that the wiimote can be used in a fire fighting robot. It basically just circles around until it sees a candle, then turns on the fan and moves toward the candle. The wiimote seems to loose the flame when it gets withing 4 inches. Maybe the candle is overloading the sensors or maybe its just bad programming on my part.

Well, we want to bring some of our past back from August 2006, when we all started this zedomax thing. Although we haven’t really gone far above or anywhere, it’s good that we are still alive.

Especially since Starcraft 2 is about to go crazy, we want to make sure we can play Starcraft 2 via touch screen too by reminding ourselves…duh…

Here’s the Replay:

Here’s a Linux powered touch screen Startcraft via wine.

Wine let’s you run windows program in Linux.
