Wireless Audio has been kind of slow to make a big impact on the commercial market. So why not build your own? This project shows you how to build some wireless speakers to setup outdoors or indoors. The electronics are not overly sophisticated and the project write-up very thorough. Take a look!

Drop-dead simple RF transmitters are hard to come by, but this project breaks that trend. With only a few parts and some simple soldering this project shows you how to build an RF transmitter and receiver using RS232 serial ports. The data is coded in ascii and transmitted at 1 MHz.

If you’re looking to build a cheap and easy DIY robot platform, this is the project to follow. The platform consits of a cheap R/C vehicle, Arduino microcontroller and XBee WiFi. The XBee module allows for clean WiFi communication to your desktop for control or information processing.

No, I don’t mean power over wifi, I mean communication over wifi! As the author of this tutorial says striaght out, it’s a pain to do wifi with an Aruduino. This write-up takes you step by step through the process of giving WiFi via a Asus WL-520gu to an Arduino.

The wifi radio is an attempt to build a conventional radio that streams from the internet rather than from radio waves. The project write-up has detailed step-by-step instructions for both the electronics and the bad ass looking wooden enclosure design.

The sea water antenna is a very innovative idea that was recently brought to life. Although the linked video is lax on the very specific details, enough is explained to give even an antenna newbie a direction to duplicate this technology.

Slapping in a wifi unit to your project is easier than you think. This project uses a pair of cheap ($14) wifi modules to do wireless in the 100’s of Mhz range. Beware, there is no packet structure by default, so some data might get lost in transit. See the write-up for schematics and how-to’s.

Taking a break from the hardcore stuff, here’s an old classic: older cell phones were much more (hardware) hackable compared to newer cell phones. Getting received SMS messages out of them to control electronics was easily achieved. This project shows you how to control elecotronics via SMS, old school style.

Using a hacked 14 electrode ‘mind reading’ device, this project controls an RC car using only your brain waves. The project write-up has more pics, action videos and details out how to build your own.

This is a very unique way to create wireless communication and it gives a lot of range. Using two radio modems this guy makes it so two basic stamps can communicate serially. The project write-up explains the process very well.
