The Net Power Strip is a cool little project that shows you how to build an electric power strip that you can control via the internet. It uses analog relays for power switching. Hardware schematics included in the project write-up.
The Binary Clock is one of the signs of a geek, but they're fun to try and figure out. This project write-up shows you how to use a PIC microcontroller to make your very own Binary Clock.
This project is probably more novelty than useful, but its simplicity will get you familiar with digital thermometers. A pic is used to interpret output data and a gigantic LCD display is used to show it to us humans. Software and hardware schematics are there just for you!
This one is for anyone bored enough to make serious mods to their desktop case. Adding a small 5'' or 7'' LCD to your case can look awesome for things like dispalying current time/temperature/mp3 playlist. This write-up shows you how to take a PSone screen, connect it to your desktop and mod it to your case.
This little project shows how to take a semi-broken GPS unit and create a new hardware interface to connect with your laptop. The software and hardware (PCB) schematic is provided for you.
The the 40w fm broadcaster is a very powerful FM range audio amplifier. The project write-up is very detailed with a standard scientific method style. Not for RF novices (but take a look anyway!).
This quick project shows you how to take I2C output from an Analog Devices temperature sensor and display it on an LCD. All this is done with an ATMega. Not to worry because the software and hardware schematics are provided in the write-up!
This is a very simple guide for the Arudino microcontroller. You will learn how/where to get an Arudino & how to get it up and running on a simple breadboard. If you're looking to get started using this uC take a look!
This version of pong is fairly like the original one but the hardware used is minuscule in comparison. Using only a 12xxxxPIC to do all the hard labor, this project plays pong on a TV with two controllers for input.
This project is a very nicely designed weather satellite image receiver. The project write-up has the hardware schematic along with many nice photographs of the hardware in action. Take a good look at how much you can do with a simple microcontroller.
