I used to deal with many touch controllers but they cost way too much money as it comes with a touchscreen and all the shebang. Well, if you want to make a dead, simple touch-sensor controller, perhaps for your latest backyard project, there’s a bunch of low-cost chips you can use now, and here’s a great example you can follow with video demo below:
This project deserves an A++ for making something related with beer! As I am gulping a Budweiser 40 down my throat, I find this email in my inbox about HOWTO make a Arduino Beer Thermostat! Cool… Keep up the great work David and thanks for the tip!
I belong to a diverse group of amateurs who have a fascination for brewing our own beer. In addition to the satisfaction of brew

Here’s a cool review of Make Controller and peripherals from MakingThings.com. Thanks Ann for the video!
Check out this awesome 3D mouse you can build using some creative hacks!
I’ve been exploring 3D graphics using VVVV. One of the things you quickly learn when working in 3D is that doing anything with a 2D mouse is a pain. Particularly I found I was spending a lot of time shuffling the camera position which involves a tricky combination of keystrokes and mouse movements. I wanted to get a camera control that would allow me

Here’s a cool video of a freaky overclocking chip cooler from CES.
Ah ha, here’s a good X10 Solution for your Christmas lights. What is X10? It’s a communication via your existing AC power lines. Well this is more complicated the 5 minutes version we made the other day but still good info on
I found out which controller can be used to control those cool Christmas videos.
These controller cost range from $500 to $800 to control just 16 Christmas Lights. You might as well b

Okay, today we are going try to build a computer controlled Christmas Lights in 5 minutes. I’ve been rolling around the neighborhood this late November and some people already have their Christmas lights decorated.
Well I
You gotta check out CMUcam if you haven’t yet. It can be controlled via a serial communications to processors such as PIC, CUBLOC,
