Electrically Heated Jacket

August 1, 2008 by Chris
This clothing mod just has dangerous written all over it, but then again it doesn't snow here so perhaps it is the life saver it seems to be. Using a 9v battery & some standard wire inserted throughout a jacket and you have an electrically heated jacket. Pretty simple, check out the project write-up for more info.

Elegant LED Shirt

February 25, 2008 by Chris
So when it's nearing your girlfriend's birthday, make sure to have this one bookmarked. The LED shirt uses an AVRmega16 microcontroller to control all the leds. One additional thing...try not to walk into an airport with one of these on, bad things might happen to you =P.
