TinkerKit! Gyroscope Now Available
New fellows in the TinkerKit! family: [T000060] and [T000062] are two versions of the same gyroscope module (1x / 4x sensitivity) based on the LPR5150AL from ST Microelectronics. We are sharing example codes and a visual UI in Processing (hosted on Scuola)
Speed Vest for Night Cycling
[Mykle Hansen] explains how to make a Speed Vest displaiyng the speed of the bicycle, as seen on Make: 19. This is a cool intro-project for wearable electronics. Bicyclists receive a lot of honk-based grief from car drivers who perceive them as slow and in the way, and when drivers misjudge a bicycle’s speed, it can cause […]
Control a Slot Car Race With Your Mind
[Riccardo Giraldi] posted a nice project controlling a slot car race from a Mindwave headset (=> your brain waves). From B-Reel’s secret laboratory comes a brain-bending experimental project utilising a number of cutting edge tech tools. B-Reel’s UK creative director Riccardo Giraldi led the development of the project, and you can view the explanatory video here, as […]

Arduino, iPod and RFID make beautiful, handicapped-accessible music together
Terrence O’Bien posts a clean music interface (no menus / no buttons) based on RFID, as previously seen some time ago. There isn’t actually much new about this awesome DIY project, but it’s the way it brings the various parts together that has us impressed. Designed by Instructables user XenonJohn, with help from software developer David […]
Retro Pinball Clock Hack
[Alan Amon] posted a cool vintage hack on Instructables, adding GPS-based clock funcionalities to a Bally Wizard pinball. Pinball machine will automatically power up at the preset time each day and then resets to display the current time, the year, the time the alarm is set for and the date month/day. Then as long as […]

Arduino Based KENBAK Computer
Kenbak computer (claimed to be one of the first personal computer – 1971) has come back from the shadows of the past. I’d been thinking for a while that emulating an old-school switches-and-lamps computer would be a fun Arduino project, but had stalled looking at things like the Altair 8800 with its 30+ lights and 20+ […]
