Create your own Beer Bottle LED Volume Unit Meter! This instructable will show you how to create a LED beer bottle VU Meter. A volume unit meter is a device that is used to display a relative volume of audio signals. Basically, sound gets converted into electricity, then amplified and run into a dedicated IC […]
There may be a lot of RGB LED Drivers out there, but this one is a bit different, its versatile, small, cheap, and is simple to control. A potentiometer with built in switch is used for the controls. A quick press, switches between color cycling and solid color select modes. Pressing in on the dial and […]

I get wind of this Think Geek hacks contest, a week late, franticly, I hit thinkgeek.com looking for a easy kill, budget and ideas both turn up empty. What about that pong kit I bought from them ~2 years ago? … hm when i first got it, I wanted it to be more game console […]
The power supply descriped here, is for turntables with 2 phase AC motor, like Linn, Rega, AR, Heybrook, Goldring and many, many more. The main features of the power supply are: X-tal controlled speed. The TTPSU can change speed by the push of a button – no need to move the belt on the pulley. […]
A while back I started working on a solar charge controller, it was based on a PIC microcontroller, a 20×4 characters display and the code was written in Assembly language. It did work well and was still working when I decided I wanted to add more to this controller. My new controller uses a standalone […]
Hello everyone, thank you for checking out my first Instructable. I have enjoyed seeing your creations over the years and love what all of you are contributing. This project is a spin off of one that I recently saw here and I need to give a shout out to Bot1398 because he demonstrated to me in his Instructable that you […]
The main aim of making GSM Based Vehicle Theft Alert System is to apply the electronic theories, modern security methods, embedded system, and modem age of science and technology for many kinds of transport machine. Moreover this GSM Based theft Alert System can reduce cost, time and many steps without tiring for human because using […]

Well, don’t worry because help is on the way! I’m introducing the world’s first, portable, hand held, decision maker powered by truly random numbers. Sure, my competition […]
A BlinkLED is a LED that has its own PIC microcontroller. Blink patterns and blink rates are programmable and BlinkLEDs can be used individually (for LED Throwies) or in strings for holiday or special lighting. I made these because I wanted to trim my Christmas tree with individual blinking lights. With the BlinkLED, I can do that […]
