HAWX gets voice control options {Joystiq}
May 31st 2008 3:19AM I'm wondering if it will make use of all the buttons and switches from the AC flight stick. Even if it doesn't I'm stoked that they are compatible. (http://www.gametrailers.com/player/34650.html 4:40)
Easy DIY USB interface {Hack a Day}
Dec 10th 2006 8:23AM Microchip has a chip that can handle ethernet and has a SPI interface. A usb PIC, http://www.microchip.com/stellent/idcplg?IdcService=SS_GET_PAGE&nodeId=1335&dDocName=en022889, and the bluetooth chips from sparkfun could be just about everything you need. If you want to get started on something like this, make a post in the hackedgadgets forum (http://forum.hackedgadgets.com/). I'm sure we could make a nice community project out of it.
Improved VW solar charger {Hack a Day}
Aug 17th 2006 8:59AM I would use that solar panel to power a fan to circulate air during the summer. Other then that, nice hack.
Palm Morse code keyboard {Hack a Day}
Aug 1st 2006 6:01PM Nice hack. I've been meaning to do something with the palm keyboard I have. Maybe I'll use it to control my iPod or do something else with a PIC.
Wireless brake light helmet {Hack a Day}
Jul 17th 2006 6:06PM Anyone know the actual ICs he used?
Minty Boost, AA based USB charger {Hack a Day}
May 31st 2006 11:27AM amazing documentation. I even learned some stuff about boost converters. A++++++++++++++++ (i just got off of ebay)
Microcontroller design final projects {Hack a Day}
May 7th 2006 1:35PM I get the feeling I went to the wrong school. My final project for my microprocessor design class was to make a musical composition program using a keypad and a buzzer. Also, we were using a 68HC11, which is considered legacy. (end rant). I really like these projects, I kinda wanna get the code they use to generate the NTSC signal, and adapt it to a PIC.
Bawls automatic light {Hack a Day}
Apr 12th 2006 2:49PM Looks nice, but that battery hanging out the back is kinda bleh... It would look better (IMO) with longer wires leading to a battery on the floor.
Fan controller {Hack a Day}
Apr 10th 2006 11:42AM 11. In my experience, using a microcontroller actually reduces required board space and can be cheaper when compared to discrete components. You also gain an extremely high amount of flexability. YMMV
Fan controller {Hack a Day}
Apr 9th 2006 3:04PM I've been thinking of doing something similar to this for a while, but have been working on other projects. This guy did a good job. I would want to add an LCD to display current temperature and settings, and maybe a serial connection so it can be controlled via the serial port.
