AVR GPS Locator Project

This drop-dead simple project uses a SR87 GPS module and an AVR to understand the data. Then that is output onto a simple 16x2 character LCD. The hardware schematic and software is all there!

Electromagnetic Suspension: A Digital Control System

This project is a definite crowd pleaser. Any form of levitation or suspension always gets the attention of people as it looks physically impossible. The project write-up explains in great detail how to duplicate it and build your own.

“Ikea” WiFi-Booster

This project is another on the cheap wifi-booster. It uses a similar principle of a metallic parabola around the wifi antenna. I questions the quality of IKEA products for this use, but that's for you guys to decide.

WFR Dead Reckoning

Dead reckoning is a strange term for predicting how you should steer based off of previous data, in this case, gps waypoints. The project write-up is very detailed from theory to application and the parts used are cheap and easy to get. Take a look!

Wifi Robot

This robot is perhaps the most off-the shelf I've ever seen. It even has a wifi-router on top that is uses to receive commands. A lot of love was put into this one and the project write-up reflects that quite well. Take a look at this one, software/hardware info is all there.
