Camera Capacitor Coil Gun

“I love to build dangerous things, as long as they don’t cause any real damage. I probably shouldn’t build dangerous things, considering the world seems to have plenty of those already, but I do. And in this instructable …

Chat Application Using Mesh Radios

“In this project, I am going to demonstrate how you can send and receive messages wirelessly, with the help of two idIoTware shields. No internet no worries we have some crazy idea to make a chat room that can work …

Controlling a Servo with a PICAXE and an IR Sensor

“Learn how to combine a PICAXE, IR sensors, and a servo motor to create a device that responds to a moving stimulus. Spoilers: I hook it up to eyeballs that can follow a finger. PICAXEs are PIC microcontrollers that have …

Die photos and analysis of the revolutionary 8008 microprocessor, 45 years old

“Intel’s groundbreaking 8008 microprocessor was first produced 45 years ago.1 This chip, Intel’s first 8-bit microprocessor, is the ancestor of the x86 processor family that you may be using right now. I couldn’t find good die …

DIY remote control based on PIC
