Working from Home? This Calendar-Controlled “Busy” Light Project May Help
One of the upsides of working from home, especially when my 7 year old is off school is that I am available most of the time for the occasional quick cuddle, to laugh at something silly she’d just done or help her with something. One of the downsides is that at any time she…

Pi Zero Speaker – DIY Audio HAT and Audio Player
A few months ago….. I got hold of a really old wired speaker from somewhat 2004 (I think so), from my father’s friend. They knew my hobby of opening things apart. 🙂 Coming back to the speakers, the one I got was really in bad shape, the body was all dirt coloured. I tried plugging…

Bluetooth Controlled Raspberry Pi Rover
Here we go! This is a very programming-heavy project, but I think it has a pretty good reason to be. The Evdev library that we use doesn’t have a lot of resources on reading from analog sticks, so I wanted to focus on that specifically in this tutorial. More info

This bad boy built by [andyclymer] can be configured three different ways, depending on what kind of control you’re after. As designed, the PCB can be used as a six-switch macro keyboard, or a rotary encoder with two…

An Armored Vehicle From Foam Core and Big Box Toys
Over the last several months, [Eric Strebel] has been working on a concept for an electric-powered infantry combat vehicle. We don’t think he’s been contracted by any nation’s military to design this vehicle, but as a product designer we imagine he does this sort of thing to keep himself sharp. In any event, it’s been fun to…

“glixie” Puts a New Spin on Glow-in-the-dark Displays
For as many projects as we see using Nixie tubes in new and unusual ways, there’s a smaller but often very interesting cohort of displays that fit into the “Nixie-like” category. These are projects where something other than the discharge of noble gasses is being used to form characters. This scrolling phosphorescent single-character display is one…

Pop a wheelie with your electric skateboard, the hacker way
Using a bit of tech to make up for a lack of skill is a time-honoured tradition, otherwise known as cheating among those who acquired the skill the hard way. Learning to wheelie manual a skateboard is usually paid for in bruises, but [blezalex] got around that by letting his electric skateboard handle the balancing act. At…
