So let me start this journey by saying the flashing is possible with the right equipment (not any device...

The first steps will always be a little difficult, but that is the way everyone has to live his life. The same is true, when you start programming FPGA-chips. It might be hard to get started, therefore a introduction may be useful. I will explain all the problems you might encounter when you first start. Also a simple first project is included as a guideline throughout the video!

Two years ago, driven by a good friend of mine i decided to give it a try on timelapse photography. I had a DSLR camera but didn't had an intervalometer, so i assembled a small electronic circuit on top of an Arduino Uno, made some basic code and did my first timelapse movie. The result was awful, but for some reason I was hooked.

Using this method is stupidly simple.A hand-powered method that magically scrambles 4 eggs at once without breaking or penetrating the shell.

Hand made air conditioner made of a foam lunch box, 5 volt DC fan, 4 AAA rechargeable batteries, and some ice. This homemade AC can run on batteries and you can plug directly into any USB port.

This is an easy step by step tutorial how to lock your jewels in a hotel room or in a public safe. Be aware that in a public safe it is more secure to use the second method of locking by a magnetic card, not by a PIN code that can be easily seen by someone nearby.

Many people asked in my email, how was and of what is my Macrame Pillow made. I couldn't answer because it is a long story, but now I decided to show you. A surprise is awaiting you, because it's not a ordinary pillow for macrame. Watch how to make a macrame pillow.

hey need some answers on what i consider an awesome add-on to a tesla coil

i have asmall tv/vcr need ideas

Clothespins are pretty innocent-looking, but with a mod here and a hack there, that innocence quickly turns into danger. Well, sort of. In this project, we'll be turning an ordinary spring-action clothespin into powerful matchstick and toothpick shooter that can shoot apples and lob fiery darts over 20 feet.

I have a friend who asked me about combining 2 m12 chargers into 1 compact housing. I have minor electronics experience and this task is above my pay grade so to speak. Are there any electronics guru's out there that may be able to help with a soultion.

900 feet range , instead of a wire i'm using a antenna from a old phone.for much better range.

I have worked on this prototype bicycle project for 2.5 years and it is stubborn as a mule in trying to get it to work properly. This is a revolution in the biking industry. If only we could have bicycle companies like schwinn, trek, magna, etc look up this with ingenious mind. I have absolute faith that this bicycle is very nopnotch with the current concept or with some other concept in addition to the current concept such as a torque converter, flywheel, tension spring, etc. Please watch my...

No matter your reason, if you want to hide what's on your computer screen from prying eyes, there are plenty of ways to do it. You can get a privacy filter, install a panic button for your browser, or just develop super fast reflexes. But all it takes is the right angle or a too-slow reaction to blow your cover.

Headphone cords are one of those things we all deal with because it beats the alternative (no music). But they can be so obnoxious—they're always getting caught on things, and they seem to be perpetually tangled. If you have ear buds, you can make a simple a cord container to keep them organized, but over-ear headphones are a little more tricky.

The first thing anybody really thinks about after watching Rear Window is how much they want their own telephoto lens. These days, they aren't cheap, so how do you go about spying on your neighbors without putting down so much dough?

Okay, I have an old Korg Nano Keyboard Mini Controller. I'm wondering if it's possible to use this as a base to build a more functional midi controller, i.e. replace a few keys with rotary knobs to make it more compatible with what I want to control in my CrossDJ software. If so, could someone direct me to a site or book/information on how to do it? I haven't torn it yet, so I'm not sure what kind of wiring goes to each key or what kind of wiring is needed to hook up to a rotary control. Thanks...

You may already know that you can build a functional circuit on a sheet of paper with the graphite from a pencil, but you'd probably never think of using it to fix an electronic device. This same principle can be used to bring back a bricked phone, but can also repair a damaged or corroded trace in a printed circuit board.

For this project, you will need a magnet, two AA batteries, two keys, a metal plate, and a copper wire coil.

When you're using vacuum power, moving water, or compressing air, it's more than likely being done with some sort of pump. I'll be needing a pump for some of my future projects, so in this tutorial, I'll be showing you how to make your own customizable PVC hand pump that will let you do all three.

Led infinity mirror that I make with some materials like mirror from old hard drive,leds,plastic mirror sheet and battery holder.

It's hot this summer, but it's not that easy to cool down when you're on the go. You can't take an air conditioner with you, and a handheld fan will just tire you out, so you'll need to find more creative ways to cool down when you're on the go. One of these ways is a DIY solar-powered fan baseball cap.

In this video clip series our expert, Kyle Saylors, will walk you through all the aspects, parts and options for LED lights and how to use them. He will offer tips on how to work around damaged lights and how to fix them as well as how to set up preset patterns for a light show and all the benefits and downsides to LED lighting.
