RGV laser
Posted: February 10th, 2010, 4:36pm MST by Jakob Griffith
[Carl] sure has come a long way with laser modifications, now introducing his portable RGV Full Colour Laser. Although it feels just like yesterday when he showed us his green spiro and his Lego diffraction grating projector. But enough of the past, the RGV laser is built using a White Fusion Mixing Kit and his own [...]

PicAxe LEGO tank
Posted: February 10th, 2010, 3:36pm MST by Mike Szczys
[TomTheGeek] built a LEGO tank with a PicAxe controller. Locomotion is supplied by a Lego Power Function motor controller. He cut an LPF extension wire in half so that he could patch into the PWM signals without altering the motors themselves. You can make out the control circuitry and a small breadboard in the tank’s [...]

This coordinated little bot runs Ubuntu on an Atom Z530 processor, popular in netbooks like the Dell Mini 10, and uses a webcam to coordinate and monitor its motion. Intel picked up two of them from [Matt] to exhibit at trade shows. As you can see, [...]

Posted: February 10th, 2010, 8:31am MST by Caleb Kraft
There will come a day in every budding hacker’s life that they realize that plopping an entire arduino in their project and leaving it there is a bit of a waste. [Domiflichi] realized this, and has shared his next steps with us. He takes us through the process of removing the ATMega chip and breadboarding [...]

CueCat, meet Arduino
Posted: February 10th, 2010, 7:29am MST by Caleb Kraft
Have you ever felt like you needed a portable barcode scanner around the house? No? Well, [Mkanoap] did, so he made one. He has hooked his CueCat up to his Arduino to capture barcode data and store it on an SD card. He is using it as an inventory tool for his personal library. Where [...]
