Blogsnapper at 12:10 pm The prize this week is a solar flashlight, if you want to use this as a flashlight you better charge it during the day and not keep it hidden in a drawer. I am thinking that the housing could make for a very small surface mount project. Not sure if the solar cell would […]

This one uses an Arduino at the core and ShiftBrite LED lights. You can see the effects here before the diffusion was added but make sure you watch the video below where the full effects […]

Blogsnapper at 11:10 am We have seen lots of Hard Drive Clocks, my original one is now looking quite poor in the build quality zone.

Even better is something that reaches out and touches the victim. Youtube user Jason LeSueur Tatum is working in a spider prop that does just that, it uses a Parallax PIR sensor to […]

Blogsnapper at 10:10 am If you have ever wondered how a Hollow Spiral Candlestick is made watch the video above. If this was my setup I’m not sure how long it would stay without some stepper motors running the show.

Blogsnapper at 10:10 am We featured the RGB LED Vehicle Turn Signals that StarfireMX developed for his Ford Mustang. StarfireMX has now completed the Custom RGB LED Turn Signals and they look fantastic.

Blogsnapper at 09:10 am Remember the days when floppy drives were all the rage. Well I don’t miss those slow noisy things, it’s hard to believe that a large floppy was one that held 1.44MB of data.
