Check out this great DIY that shows you how to make a DIY webcam-based laser distance finder. This is great for implementing distance-sensing projects along with a live webcam.
The author also included some Visual Basic code you can use to implement on a Windows-based program. I am sure you can easily hack the code to use elsewhere with other projects out there.
Miniature robotic rotorcraft for example can carry about 100g of payload. It is possible to perform mac
Here’s a great Halloween DIY involving a spooky tesla spirit radio. Using some basic circuitry, the tesla spirit radio can tell a lightning storm coming from hundreds or miles away or even detect ghosts within the range of your house during Halloweens so you can get ready with a gun in hand if zombies decide to raid your house. Learn how to make the Spooky Tesla Spirit Radio here.
The Spooky Tesla Spirit Radio is a crystal radio circuit in a jam-jar. It makes fun spooky sounds

After making the soup, b
For those of you looking to connect bluetooth devices to your Nintendo DS (for whatever reason), there IS a way. It’s not easy but you can do it following this great articles on how to make a DS Bluetooth adaptor.
In our design, we use a tiny ATmega168 microcontroller to make the Nintendo DS speak to the RN-41 Bluetooth SMD module by Roving Networks. Using this piece of hardware the Nintendo DS can scan its neighbourhood and establish connections to other Bluetooth devices (supporting SPP). The
For those of you looking for ways to cut down some costs on shopping while working the right brain more, you might be interested to know about this DIY that shows you how to make faux fur neck warmer.

Check out this awesome cool Gear Clock my friend Alan from HackedGadgets made! The Gear Clock features CNC, laser-cut gears coupled with a PIC 16f628A microcontroller and a stepper motor. Brilliant, I WANT ONE!
The heart of the clock is a PIC 16f628A microcontroller (PDF). This microcontroller has an internal oscillator however an external 20MHz crystal oscillator is being used since it will have to accurately keep track of time for weeks and month
