Short Range Personal Radar Project
Posted in Blogroll, Diy, Experimental, Videos on Feb 8th, 2008
Another great project from the guys over at Pyro Electro.
The idea to create a type of close proximity radar system came from a student in one of my classes. We went ahead and decided to streamline the idea into the course as one of the projects we’d build.
After a week or two of prep time [...]

DIY High Altitude Balloon
Posted in Blogroll, Diy, Experimental, Videos on Oct 29th, 2007
My project launched a payload with GPS, camera, sensors and communications to an altitude of 30km. I obtained most parts ready years ago, but only recently had time to finish it.
High altitude ballooning is an emerging hobby, since price of GPS and communications equipment has gotten quite low. It is an excellent hobby for people [...]
Nice little How To video on how to solder a SMD electronic component using a wicking/soldering technique. This method is a good alternative to having an expensive reflow oven. This video is made by Spark Fun Electronics, a good place to buy prototyping components.
Hackers Toolbox: Function Generator
Posted in Blogroll, Hackers Toolbox, Tools and Equipment on Feb 2nd, 2007
One essential tool needed for experimenting with electronics is a Function Generator. A function Generator outputs various waveforms which can be used in your experiments. Common waveforms are sine, square, triangle and sawtooth which are illustrated in the below picture. The waveforms can be adjusted by frequency’s, amplitude, and shape. The function generator [...]
DIY Function Generator Project
Posted in Blogroll, Diy, Tools and Equipment on Jan 16th, 2007
Nice project guide that walks you though building your own function generator. The guide goes thought the electronic theory, the parts selection, the building, testing, and final mock-up of a function generator. If do any electronic work, you will definitely need a good function generator.

Embedded into a suit, this interactive display would allow for users to talk to the clothing, having it react in different ways depending on how you talked to it. This would give the clothing a ‘personality’ of its own
This hack improves the range of similar wireless remotes. The hack basically just increases the surface area of the antenna. The only limitation would be fitting it into the plastic case. I have to try this.
