Keep your laptop and cell phone’s power plugs from falling off the back of your desk using a simple binder clip, no modification required. A very easy and inexpensive solution to a few binder clips. Binder clips are for sale in a commercial office or maybe you even have office located somewhere. The binder clips [...]

The high speed scanner in the video above easily allows the user to digitize books using a flip-book style scanning process which can process 200 pages per minute. The camera prototype rig captures 500 frames per second at 1280×1024 pixels. The trick is in the two optical capturing modes of each frame. See Video.. Source: [...]

Adam Mayer of NYC Resistor is working on  script for processing small pixel fonts for use in 8-bit AVR applications. The 8-bit AVRs have very little memory, so he stored each 7-pixel-high column as a single byte.  The pixel data, along with the table that maps ASCII codes to character data, comes in at around [...]

This GTO is controlled entirely via iPod Touch, allowing the owner to start the car, open the doors and trunk, roll down the windows, control the radio, arm the car alarm and even rev the engine – all from across the parking lot.Range is limited since communication is handled via bluetooth but we’ve seen a [...]

In this article Mr.Simon will show how to breadboard a simple USB generic HID device, creating the PIC18F firmware and finally creating the Windows interface for the device which will allow you to control a LED from the PC and read the state of a push-button from the device. Since the advent of Windows 7 [...]

This clock will work extremely accurate as a real time clock & also it will give you an alarm notification on every hour. This clock uses 12 hour clock format. Features: High Accurate Timing, AM/PM Indicator, Hourly Chime, Key Press Tone, Power Sense / Display Off and Battery Backup. Source: gsmicro

This project used the popular PIC16F84A microcontroller which is a program written in assembly language. GSM phone with which the device was tested by Siemens M35i (19200bps 8-N-1). The device has to work with other (older, cheap) Motorola phones such as S25, C35 (i), A65 and so on (X35, X45) … Source: Trax

If sales of Panasonic are any indicator, then 3D will appear on the market and the large door. The first shipment of 3D high-resolution televisions already sold out.Of course, this is currently an early adjustment of the market. “There are always people who want to buy the latest products from top technology. This is probably [...]

This project (GSM controller ) is a device that allows you to control appliances using SMS messages. There are also 4 inputs for connecting sensors so the device will send an alarm SMS or even call you to report an alarm condition. Autor of this project has been successfully tested on: – Nokia 7110 (19200 [...]
