Congrats to Jeremy Blum for graduating from Cornell University! He made a cool Remote Controlled Graduation Cap that he controls using a custom built wrist control box.

This project demonstrates how to use a voltage divider to read in analog voltages with an Arduino. Since we are using a voltage divider the voltage that the chip sees is within it’s range even though in this case the voltage measured can be up to 50 volts.

Our friend Bob Davis has hacked another LED sign, you can see it above connected to an Arduino. Check out his article to have a look at the code to see how it works.

Oyvind from Build Electronic Circuits sent in his latest project. It’s a 1937 Philips AM Radio Hacked into an iPhone Dock, the project is basically using the nice old housing since all of the internals were discarded.

This Hand Controlled Tetris Like Game uses an Altera FPGA to captures a video signal and looks for a players hand skin color. The system tracks their hand movements and looks for the user moving their hands forward and back by determining how tall the skin colored object is over time.

Thanks to Vigo for sending in his latest project. It’s a Animatronic Singing Robot! The mechanism is quite simple but the results are fantastic.

If you have some old donated scanners and printers chances are you have most of the stuff needed to make your own DIY Laser Engraver. The main thing that all laser engravers have in common is a method of moving a laser or set of mirrors in an X Y pattern.

This Magic Wand project can be used to get someone young interested in electronics since instead of simply doing something practical this project appears to be magic.

For this Cornell ECE 5760 Hand Tracking Pong project Hanting Lu and Kedari Elety have connected a camera to an FPGA, the image is down sampled so that it is only looking at a 40 X 30 image to determine how the players are moving.
