http://imakeprojects.com I can't stop building, learning, or tweaking new things. Use this RSS feed to get notified of my new projects! http://imakeprojects.com/Gfx/void.jpg http://imakeprojects.com http://imakeprojects.com/Projects/avr-tutorial/ Most tutorials skim over a lot of information. Not this one. This tutorial assumes you have some basic knowledge, but tries not to make any other assumptions. The goal is to lower the barrier to entry for getting started with the AVR by starting at square one (i.e. you don't even own a programmer) and getting you using the tools as quickly as possible. http://www.instructables.com/id/Make-a-Bloody-Valentines-Heart/ I entered this into the Valentine's contest at instructables.com! Take a look and examine some of the other Valentine's entries while you're there! http://imakeprojects.com/Projects/bleeding-heart/ An anatomically-correct heart that spurts and oozes blood when stabbed with a knife? Combined with a 'You have my heart' Valentine's Day card? What's not to swoon over? http://imakeprojects.com/Projects/rock-band-dual-bass-drums-controller/ This device allows ROCK BAND drummers who will settle for nothing less than peak performance to use dual bass drum pedals with their drum controllers. Making that work is more complicated than it sounds, but not after using my device design, it isn't! http://imakeprojects.com/Projects/meat-piggie/ This little piggy is made out of meat! And it's as tasty as it is cute. http://imakeprojects.com/Projects/hot-cold-glowies/ These little solar-powered LED glowies glow Red or Blue depending on temperature changes. Demonstrates using a plain old silicon diode as a temperature sensor. http://imakeprojects.com/Projects/wii-ak47/ This new project contains details and an action video of a lifesized plastic AK-47 as a Wii controller. I'd recommend keeping the blinds down while playing the Wii with one of these. http://www.instructables.com/id/How-To-Turn-a-Digital-Photo-Print-into-a-Beautiful/ I have made an Instructable out of this project after receiving a suggestion to do so by email - Instructables is running several contests right now, so if you think you have something to share be sure to give it a shot! http://imakeprojects.com/Projects/car-xmas-lights/ I have put Christmas lights in my car for a few years now, I just recently updated my old set to this new-and-improved method that uses LEDs. Construction is simple, and the effects are guaranteed to spread Holiday cheer! http://imakeprojects.com/Projects/digital-photo-printing/ Using a technique I call "reverse painting", you can use a paintbrush and water on a printed digital photo to manipulate the printed ink for different effects. In particular, you can make a photo look like a watercolor painting.
