The phone rings, and I grab for the nearest Sonos controller, power that up, wait a few seconds until the wireless connection is there and hit the pause button. If I can't find the iPod controller, I may have to start the Sonos desktop controller application to then hit pause. While I'm trying to cut [...]

Amazing what kind of (bizarre, crazy or just plain fun) ideas some people come up with: a chap uses an LCD photo frame he's displeased with to create a digital clock.

The clock (i.e. the photo frame) displays pre-created images of the time, and he uses an Arduino micro controller to press the 'next photo' button [...]

XBee modems are one of the easiest ways to create a wireless point-to-point or mesh network. They have error correction, are configured with AT commands, come in multiple flavors and can create a wireless serial link out of the box. XBee modems can be connected to a computer, and to an Arduino — there are [...]

I've been asked a few times already whether I could "make" some little lights for the LEGO houses built around here, so I gave it a try.

After clamping a 1×2 LEGO brick into a vise, I drilled two little holes on either side, just large enough to push in the pins of a 5mm LED.
