Hardware hackery

2010-12-07 17:12:03.592682+01 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

Project yesterday was taking an old relay controller I had upstairs, figuring out that something was busted in it, so rather than bothering to fix it I wired up a microcontroller to drive the relays. Today I need to get a little stranded THHN so that I can finish wiring up my holiday light controller, and get a few more strands of all one color so that we can do some animated scenes..

But just when I was feeling self-congratulatory about switching back from C# coding to solder, Jeri Ellsworth shows how to build a microwave scanner that sees body parts through particle board.

Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
