DIY HACK - How to Make an LED Orgami!

DIY HACK - How to Make an LED Orgami!

The idea here is simple.  Stick an LED and 3V 2032 battery into a paper cube orgami thingee.

Great idea, well executed.

This little LED-lit cube is much more than just a paper lantern: It’s a translucent and flexible thin-film electronic circuit that hooks up a battery to an LED, limber enough to be folded into an origami box. And the coolest thing about circuits like these? You can make them at home.

Giant Volume Meter!

Looks like it’s some type of microcontroller with bunch of replays… Looks pretty simple to build… (the controls i mean)

“Volumen”, a giant graphic equalizer built by Argentinian artist, Sergio Avello relays the ambient urban noise levels around the Redgaleria in Buenos Aires. Pretty intense way of visualizing the constant buzz of the city, plus nice shots of the internal circuits at the below link.

Easy plug switching

Posted in Circuits, Computer, Consumer, Funny, Household, Music, mp3 by david on the February 27th, 2008 at 12:15 pm

For people who have to use an extension lead in order to house all of the plugs that are needed to get power for all of your hi tech gadgets and any else that you are going to need to get you through the day.

plug cutoff

This means that the plugs can stay in place but the power can be switched off by just raising the plug and therefore cutting the power to that particular device.

Desert island gadgets

They say that if you are on a desert island for so long, you will be able to make almost anything out of coconuts and here is the proof.

coconut amp

This is a really cool coconut amp, and in fact if you can make this then you are on your way to building up a civilisation.

Atmel AVR HACK - Temperature Controller using Microcontroller AVR

Posted in Circuits, Cool, DoItYourself!, Educational, Hack, Industrial, LED, Microcontroller, Projects by max on the January 26th, 2008 at 3:49 pm

Tempereature Controller using Microcontroller AVR

Check out the Atmel AVR temperature controller hack, although I made a better one last year that can be controlled via ethernet, the case looks awesome!

Wine doesn’t like subzero temperatures, and during wintertime, my “winecellar” got pretty cold.
There was an electric heating element, but the thermostat was broken, so it was either full burn or nothing.

That’s how the temperature monitor/controller came to be.
It was an obvious task for a small processor and I’ve always wanted to test the Dallas temperature sensors.

So, I designed this little device which could monitor the temperature and control the heater.
