Mechanized Android Figure. These are the required parts: 1 x Android Figure from DYZPLASTIC 1 x ATtiny44A from Mouser or Digikey 1 x 14 pin DIL socket e.g. from Digikey 1 x Micro Servo SG90 (plastic) or MG90S (metal) 1 x Microphone e.g. CMC-5042PF-AC from Digikey 1 x Piezo (passive, not the buzzer kind) 2 x blue 5mm flat top wide angle LED from ebay 1 x red super bright 5mm LED 1 x green super bright 5mm LED 1 x yellow super bright 5mm LED 1 x NPN Transistor e.g. 2N3904 from Digikey 2 x Rectifier e.g. 1N4003 e.g. from Digikey 1 x 100uF electrolytic capacitor 3 x 100nF ceramic capacitor 2 x 100K resistor 2 x 10K resistor 2 x 2K2 resistor (or other values depending on your blue LEDs) 3 x 150 resistor 1 x +5V power supply (e.g. USB charger) There are many different versions of the Android figure.

For the eyes I used super bright wide angle 5mm flat top LEDs. I used a Mystery SD90 servo with plastic geras. A +5V USB phone charger makes a nice power supply. The Cap Kart (v2.0) Photo op. 9/21/2010: v2.0 Test Drive! More Videos See video of our first and second test drives in 2008, including some from on-board cameras. More videos, including some "behind-the-scenes" looks at the build, can be found on MIT TechTV. Thanks for the blog entries!

Project Updates: The Team: The Concept: The Cap Kart is first and foremost a battery electric vehicle - all of its intial energy stored in its battery pack.

The Components: The Circuit: This is the power converter implemented on the Cap Kart. Vehicle Specifications: Technical Notes And Data Design Notes: Sometimes it's fun to go back and look at the early design notes from a project. Raw Data: This is raw data from our test drives and flywheel testing. Links: Plasma Speaker II. Blog Archive » Building a Wifi Radio – Part 1, Introduction. This article is the first of a series that will document the development of a low cost, open source wireless streaming internet radio receiver. All construction details, including schematics, source code, and even the design process itself will be documented on this blog. Comments and (constructive) criticism are welcome. Click here to post a comment. Table of Contents: Some background: According to Wikipedia, in 1993 the first internet radio program began distribution.

Today, most music playback software supports streaming radio in some way. iTunes features thousands of streaming radio stations and even supports Shoutcast streams so that users can easily add additional stations of their own. The beautiful thing about streaming radio is the huge diversity in programming that is available. In the past couple years, products have started to appear that mimic the form and function of a traditional radio, but play internet radio instead. The Wifi Radio project: Requirements: Optional features: n00tron 3D Spherical Volumetric Display - Interactive Exhibit.

Assembled IR Jammer IR Jammer Kit Parts The IR Jammer is a fun project that provides a bit of safe, non-destructive fun. The Infrared Remote Control Jammer allows you to render all IR remote controls inoperative! The microcontroller in this design allows for all 6 of the main IR frequencies to be targeted making this unit universal. It works by corrupting the data that is being sent by your normal remote controls. This kit comes with everything shown here. These parts will need to be soldered onto the board before use. Kit assembly instructions can be found here. If you prefer reading a printed manual have a look at the manual here (pdf). Niklas Roy: My little piece of Privacy. My little piece of Privacy Interactive Installation My workshop is located in an old storefront with a big window facing towards the street. In an attempt to create more privacy inside, I’ve decided to install a small but smart curtain in that window. The curtain is smaller than the window, but an additional surveillance camera and an old laptop provide it with intelligence: The computer sees the pedestrians and locates them.

With a motor attached, it positions the curtain exactly where the pedestrians are. The whole setup works really well.
