Description As featured in Electronics Weekly Gadget Freak (20/02/2008) The main reason I made this version is that I wanted to fit it in to the base of an Ikea Mylonit lamp. This lamp is made entirely from glass and has a small recess in the base with an entry for the power lead. Since […]

LED fireflies prototype hello all, heres an attempt i made at something like an LED throwie..the problem (for me) with led throwies is that they just consume their battery, and produce light.. but they could be better at doing both.. first you have to accept the premise that your willing to spend a bit more

MAX5581 Overview The MAX5581 is a 12-bit, fast-settling DAC featuring a 3-wire SPI™ serial interface. The MAX5581’s interface can support SPI up to 20MHz with a maximum settling time of 3µs. This application note presents an application circuit and all the firmware required to interface the fastest line of PIC microcontrollers (PIC18F core) to the
Introduction This little project will demonstrate how you can use your old NEC IR protocol based TV,DVD or VCR remote control to control you home appliances like fan bulb or virtually anything. Consumer IR protocols There are a number of consumer Infrared protocols out there and they have been used for every single purpose possible i guess, like

Programmable watch with four character display You’ll be the talk of the town when you wear this obnoxious, oversized, completely impractical wristwatch. Display your favourite foul language, song lyrics, prime numbers, etc. Inspired by the Microreader kit, I decided to make a giant watch using similar sixteen segment displays. Twelve hours later, I came out

Throbbing Apple Logo Sticker This little gizmo adds the iconic “sleeping Mac throb” to an ordinary Apple logo decal. The idea for this came about when passing by the Apple Store in Palo Alto, California late one night. After hours, when the store is “asleep,” the lighted logos out front pulsate just like the power

One of the strongest trend we have seen this year at CES2015 is, as you can imagine easily, the IoT (Internet of Things) development. Consequently, the most important component needed is the “connection and communication” module that enables the remote interaction between the device and “the community” via internet. Here we will sum up the

Always at the right time your house on temperature This project make use of a PIC16F648(A) and a DCF77 receiver from Conrad (Orderno. 64 11 38) With DCF77 runs the clock from the thermostat always on the right time. Synchronizing isn’t necessary anymore. The temperaturesensor is a DS1820 or DS18B20 and on a HD44780 (or compatible) 2×16 LC-Display

UPDATE: code posted below Nike+iPod is a very interesting piece of hardware for all kinds of reasons, not the least of which is that it as actually useful. It works by wirelessly transmitting data from a sensor (that is stored in your shoe) to a receiver that is either externally connected to your iPod or
