For those of you who want to run your personal web servers on minimal hardware and energy, you might want to seriously think about building yourself one of these nifty Arduino web servers.
Of course, this reminds of the time I hacked my Palm Pre to run a WordPress Blog, that’s probably even better since you can take your website with you where ever you go.
Sometimes, flexible circuits can be necessary to fit your ideas into a smaller compartment. For those projects using Arduino, you might be able to do exactly that with the upcoming Seeeduino (yup, that’s 3 e’s) Film, a flexible Arduino board.
Frequency, waves, and sound has always been one of my deeper tech interests. Here’s an art exhibit that uses exactly that, frequency of singer’s voice is used to drive motors that are activated based on frequency and volume.
The resulting 3D effect of frequency waves are amazing in this DIY example, I think this could could be one of the coolest gadgets I’ve seen in awhile.
Each string in the arrangement is activated by a different audio frequency, and will spin with a velocity depend
Here’s someone who used Arduino and a bluetooth module to create an e-mail alerting T-shirt that receives number of new e-mails you have via an Android phone. Very clever and great idea as you can easily convert it into something like an e-mail alerting box that could prove to be very useful for people who need to be constantly checking their e-mails. Best part is that the author has provided free source code. Brilliant idea.
And, he
I know that DSLR camera controllers can come in handy when it comes to shooting photos period but do you really want to spend hundreds of dollars on commercial camera controllers that come with presets that you cannot change?
There’s a hack for that, you can build yourself a Nintendo DS DSLR camera controller. You will first have to start by making a DIY interface cable but once that’s done, you can take advantage of the free open-source Arduino code that w
For those of you who need an inspiration for a plexi-glass enclosure DIY clock, check out this DIY Wise Clock!
This is the “commercial” version of Wise Clock with large LED display from Sure Electronics. The micro controller board is plugged into the display’s connectors. The enclosure is a simple pair of laser-cut plexiglass squares, sandwiching the electronics.
I’ve been using commercial keyboards for all of my hacking life and I have to say when I first saw this functional keyboard made from paper and aluminum foil, I was IMPRESSED!
Nevermind how much money you can save but think about the customizations you can do. You could probably even make a full QWERTY keyboard if you wanted to.
Anyways, great instructable, highly recommended for those of you Arduino/other microcontroller modders to take a looky here.
The rea

Linksys routers have been very versatile at doing many things besides just routing your internet. In this example, Sunlight Labs used an old Linksys WRT54GL router and Arduino relay interface to create a cheap automated door opener.
The Linksys WRT54GL’s firmware was replaced with OpenWrt, an open-source linux firmware that can be used on the Linksys router. The beauty of this hack is that the hackers(Sunlight Labs) used DMZ LED pin as an output to cont
