DIY – How to Build a Hard Disk Green Laser Projector!

Posted on July 11, 2008 by max

Here’s a really cool DIY showing you how to build a hard disk laser scanner made from bunch of old hard disks.

AVR Laser Projector

Posted on January 8, 2007 by max

Check out this cool laser projector using AVR. WOw.
