I was looking for streaming solutions the other day. Little did I know that [John] would be sending in a hack for adding an mp3 decoder board to the La Fonera.

I was plotting one of my future projects and found this diy RF remote control. I was struck by how simple the circuits are thanks to the micro-controller and RF modules.

I'm a big fan of open wireless access points. As long as my neighbors are respectful, I've got more downstream bandwidth than I really need most of the time.

UK Makers, good news you can now legally use a FM transmitter starting 12/6/2006 -
"The devices fell foul of the Wireless Telegraphy Act of 1949, which forbids the use of radio equipment without a licence or an exemption.

I picked up a hField wifi adaptor, the short review: it works great. On a Mac (Leopard) or PC (Vista support now) it greatly increasing the number and quality of Wi-Fi sites I am able to connect to, it's basically a better USB based directional Wi-Fi adaptor that can get you a signal up to 1,000 feet away.

This project uses an RF receiver module to trigger a pulsing LED Heart when the transmitter comes within range. I made this for my fiance for Valentine's Day this year.

I find that sometimes my home wireless network drops out unexpectedly. Here's some pretty cool DIY instructions on building a 2. 4 GHz spectrum analyzer to search for the right channels to put your home wireless network on so hopefully this won't happen.
