I am root! – Alex eReader
Posted: April 27th, 2010, 2:00pm MDT by Mike Szczys
The Alex eReader has been rooted. This little handheld was the belle of the ball at CES 2010 when it came to eReaders. Now that is has been released into the wild it takes its place next to the heavy hitters that have already seen root access. If you’re unfamiliar, this device boasts a six-inch [...]

Apod, an update
Posted: April 27th, 2010, 1:06pm MDT by Caleb Kraft
Apod walks! If you recall, last year we discovered Apod, the creepy lifelike hexapod creation made by [Zenta]. At that point in time, it basically just shifted around nicely but didn’t do much walking. Well, [Zenta] has been hard at work since then and now Apod is fully active, walking, running, and serving drinks with [...]

40 MSPS Digital oscilloscope
Posted: April 27th, 2010, 12:05pm MDT by Mike Szczys
If you can fabricate single-sided circuit boards at home you can build this digital oscilloscope. It uses mostly through-hole components with just a couple of surface mount chips to contend with. An ATmega162 handles the hardware end of things with a CPLD used to manage the sampling rate. Data is displayed on a 240×128 LCD [...]

Emulating a Z80 computer with an AVR chip
Posted: April 27th, 2010, 11:04am MDT by Mike Szczys
[Sprite_tm] dusted off his assembly skills and managed to emulate a Z80 computer using an AVR ATmega88. He’s using an SD card in place of the floppy and a 128 KB DRAM chip to handle the memory for the emulated machine. An FT232 board gives him terminal access which he uses for input and display. [...]

The Wii golf glove
Posted: April 27th, 2010, 10:00am MDT by Mike Szczys
[Shu Uesugi] is filling a controller void that Nintendo has yet to address. He picked up a golf glove from Target and incorporated it into an air guitar interface. Give the video after the break a chance, you’ll start to see the full potential of this build about three and a half minutes into it. [...]

Lawnmower converted to Hoe/scraper
Posted: April 27th, 2010, 9:00am MDT by Caleb Kraft
[Torx] wrote this instructable on how to convert a lawnmower to another useful tool. We’re not sure what language he natively speaks, but we doubt it is english, so you might be better off just looking at the pictures to figure out what he’s doing. To summarize, he has lowered the mower and reversed/bent the [...]

IEE clock
Posted: April 27th, 2010, 8:24am MDT by Caleb Kraft
The IEE clock looks somewhat un remarkable at first glance. Upon closer inspection though, you’ll find out that there are 12 light bulbs crammed in there for each digit. The bulbs sit behind a curved lens with the numerals on it. When the appropriate one is lit, it projects the number on the front of [...]
