Power Glove 20th Anniversary Edition — Build Video from Matt Mechtley on Vimeo. Matt Mechtley is responsible for this maker’s dream project: getting a classic Nintendo Power Glove to work with custom games by replacing it’s brain with an arduino, implanting an accelerometer for motion detection, and using a bluetooth modem for wireless connectivity. He’s […]
From the comments: Our friend Rachel just took these pictures last week near Oaxaca (Mexico), and she shared them with us while staying at the Eco Village on her way to Portland. this “bici-maquina” (bike-machine), as they are called in Mexico, is used to power a water pump. i love the technological contrast, claypunkish.
Tom Igoe just sent me this really cool project that he made on the Arduino Mega and in Processing. He used (2) 8×8 LED matrices and an Arduino Mega to recreate Pong. Next, he ported the Arduino code over to Processing. He said it took 10 minutes to port the entire code. That’s fast! You […]
While conducting historical research for the recent MAKE presents: The Transistor video, I came across references to an earlier iteration of the device apparently created way back in 1933 – a full 14 years before Bell Labs researchers had a working model. What makes the discovery even more compelling and inspiring is the fact that […]
From the MAKE Flickr pool Macetech shares details on removing PCB resist with a laser cutter – It’s easy to remove most of the residue using water and a paper towel. I used to use alcohol because it removed the residue almost instantly, but I found that it also eroded the paint mask too much. […]
[Image from Inventaholic] Perry Kaye is a great inventor I met at Maker Faire Austin in 2007. Recently, we have had several conversations about the process for bringing a product to market. He has set up a site around the idea of inventing for regular people. Invention is not always about money. For many of […]
I stopped by Eyebeam in NYC on Tuesday to chat with Tom Igoe about the new Arduino MEGA and few other projects that he is working on. I took a quick video and some pictures of the new board to share with our readers. If you don’t already know, Tom is the Area head for […]
