Flambeau Brake Control Demo Kit
2010-08-11 02:57:00 This is a nice item that I found today at Princess Auto... A grey box hiding on the bottom of a grey shelf. The phrase "Demo Kit" caught my eye, and I had to take a peek inside. I was blown away by the beautiful innards, and I just had to have it. read more More About: Electronics , Misc , Control
Molex Evaldi Earphones (Review)
2010-08-06 01:40:00 I haven't used earbuds in a long time. They either fall out of my ears, sound like you're listening to music through a tin can, or even (in the case of the ones that go in your ear) hurt. read more More About: Review

QuahogCon 2010 Badge Hardware Hacking - The Beginning
2010-05-05 06:14:00 What I Did: I took a Cellboost IPR3 that was otherwise destined for a dull life of providing power to an original iPod Shuffle, and converted the cable normally used for charging it into a USB-A-to-2-pin cable using the cable from an old computer case's hard drive activity light. (Using the cable is a bonus for me, since this cable has been kicking around the junkbox for ages.) read more More About: Hardware

2010-05-05 04:47:00 For those who are curious about some of the particulars of the game, here is what I gleaned from the goings-on at the 'con (And from a lot of borrowing Jimmie's badge, and soliciting button-presses from random 'con attendees). Spoiler Warning: If you want to try to disassemble, packet-sniff, or otherwise decode the Humans vs Zombies game completely on your own, don't read on. read more More About: Game

FT4232H-Based Eee 701 Internals Controller
2010-01-07 19:18:00 This controller will be designed for installation into an Eee 700-series netbook to serve the following purposes: Provide a communications interface to I2C, SPI and UART devices over USB Control power switching to various internally-mounted low-current (~0-25mA) and high-current (~25-125mA) devices. Provide non-USB-Host 5V power to the high-current USB devices through high-current SPST switches so as not to overload the USB Bus (Update: This will be done by off-board MOSFETs. There just wasn't enough room on the board to allow it to still fit in the space allocated for the MDC1.5. read more
EleHack (.com): An electronics hacking resource
2010-01-02 03:29:00 Purpose: I've been looking to get EleHack.com on the road for a while now. I was looking at making a site for everything from basic circuits to interfacing sensors with microcontrollers, etc... Basically, building blocks for circuits, so if someone needed to (for example) look up how to make a 555 timer circuit, there would be a page for that, or how to interface an LCD display to an Arduino, there would be a page for that. Even things like how to interface triggers to DSLRs. Really, anything electronic-related. read more More About: Electronics , Resource

EVEm V1.1 Carputer
2009-04-29 22:45:00 I scored a mega-deal on eBay a while back for this EVEm mini-ITX computer with an EVEm DC/DC power supply, in a generic mini-ITX case. The EVEm has a VIA C3 Samuel2 600MHz "1GigaPro" CPU and a VIA VT133 Chipset. I added the specified maximum of 256MB of 133Mhz SDRAM, and am currently using a 3.5" 6.4Gb hard drive. read more

2homeinfo dot com SPLOGs
2009-03-23 01:47:00 2homeinfo dot com is a (quite pretty) fascia for a giant splog ring. Its posts, however pretty, link off to other sites, such as modularhomeweb dot com, (surprise surprise, it's the same site, just copied over...), except this site has stories whose "original posts" are all on usedmobilehomes dot wordpress dot com. read more

POM PPM Parking Meter
2009-03-20 03:03:00 I found this parking meter at Princess Auto yesterday. Made by POM Inc., this meter is called the PPM. I got it to work by adding a rubber band with just enough tension to depress the turn-detect lever when the lever is turned. The meter has knobs where a tensioned spring was attached. I'll have to find a decent spring somewhere. read more More About: Parking , Misc , Meter

SQL Daemon for DS
2008-11-11 23:37:00 With much anticipation, here is my SQL code: it allows both blocking and non-blocking SQL sockets to be used simultaneously. I've tried to be very verbose in my commenting, and I will include some examples later on, too. This stuff works to the best of my knowledge. If not, leave me a comment and I'll try to look at it.

FAKE Image Gallery
2008-07-10 04:24:00 These sites lure MSN users by pretending to be your buddies, messaging you a convincing link to their "photo gallery", into which you must put your MSN username and password to gain access to see your friend's photos. As soon as you put in your username and password, the sites log in with them, and send further spam to everyone on your buddy list. read more More About: Gallery , Fake , Image , Scam
Possible Case? 3Com SuperStack II
More articles from this author:2007-12-15 08:41:00 Ok, so maybe it's more suited to a different MIDIbox, say, maybe a SEQ, but this box does have sleek lines, plenty of access in the back, and a built-in 12V, 5V, -12V AC/DC power supply. More About: Electronics , Case , 3com 1, 2, 3 |
