I was at my local Dollar Store the other day and when I saw this Heart shaped Touch Light, I had to hack one for my gf.Here’s a quick hack on how to make a regular Touch Light and make it into a Glowing Heart Night Light.

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.

You can now easily make a touch application similar to the touch interface on the
LG Chocolate. Check out touch-sensor chip you can use for your next embedded
application or even maybe wii hacking or ps3 hacking…

QT113 family QTouchT ICs create sense fields through dielectric surfaces such as plastic or glass up to 100mm (4″) thick, and can even turn small objects into sensors. These sense fields can work easily through gloved hands.

Here’s a cool color changing DIY I found by google-ing…

Wow,” you say, “how can you expect to make something wireless and still have it cost less than fifty dollars?” Well I’m glad you asked. “But I didn’t ask,” you say, “I’m just reading.” Do you want to argue, or would you like to hear about my solution? That’s what I thought. For the job of fairly-reliable wireless communication, I turn to my old friends the TX433 and RX433 modules. These are complementary transmitter/receiver pairs that operate on the seldom-used 433.92 MHz frequency. Another strong plus is that the devices are very small. The transmitter (TX433) is about the size of my thumbnail (though to be fair, I have sexier-than-average thumbnails) and will fit inside a standard 9-pin D-Sub hood. As if that weren’t enough, the transmitter also has very loose power requirements (3 to 12 volts). The receiver is slightly larger and is quite finicky about its power (more on that later). Back in the day you could obtain them through TechAmerica, but now TechAmerica has turned into RadioShack.com, and along with RadioShack, their inventory has decreased to the point of phasing out these wonderful little modules. So doing a search on “RX433″ revealed to me the only other online supplier of these miracle devices, a company called QKits in Canada. They go for about $6 american each. I also found some on eBay at comparable prices (and they might be more reliable modules).

Hmmm… Thomas is up to something again, making some really cool artistic electronics,

check out this obi-wan the finger over ethernet by Thomas, it’s really cool, I wish there was a DIY…

Here is the most recent version of the “Touch”  which uses CUBLOC CB220, Pololu Micro Servo controller, and Lantronix XPORT. The two black boxes are sending the force-sensitive resistor data to a server about 70 miles away, where the pressure difference is calculated, a new common finger position is determined, and the finger position is sent back 70 miles to the black boxes.

Here’s a cool DIY on ethernet enabled servo motor control using CUBLOC CB220, XPORT, and Pololu Micro Serial Servo Controller by Thomas Edwards.

He also uses an Python Internet server to read the servo position information.

This was done in about 1 hour…pretty impressive.
