HackaDay Badge with Accelerometer

Souvenir from Hackaday event held on 9.April is a nice badge. It had a empty space for small hardware upgrade (3-Axes Gyroscope + Accelerometer Module) that must be filled! :) PCB supports placement of both GY-521 and ADXL345, but designer recommended GY-521 that (naturally) I had in my “magic box” with components… after simple soldering procedure, original firmware recognised module and simple Accelerometer demo with 8bit graphics become operational… Module

We might be able to help you launch birds if you find pigs in space. — NASA

Šta mislite o ovome za kostim vašeg deteta za Noć veštica?

Ako žeite da vam dete ima unikatan kostim za ovogodišnju Noć veštica, uzmite sledeće u razmatranje: 160cm visok gvozdeni egzoskelet, koji se kontroliše preko dva džojstika. Pretpostavljamo da vaše dete uz pomoć ove spravice može da nosa unaokolo dovoljno slatkiša za celu godinu. A školske siledžije bi svakako trebale da se zabrinu (sem ukoliko i njima roditelji ne kupe jedan primerak ;-) ). Bilo kako bilo, budite spremni da pljunete

We guess that your child can haul around a year's worth of candies with this thing. And, yeah, school bullies should be worried, too (unless their parrents don't buy them similar suits ;-) ). In any case, be prepared to cough up cool $21,000

LEGO konferencijski sto

Prosto je neverovatno šta sve može da nastane iz dobre ideje i par (miliona) LEGO kockica. Agencija za oglašavanje Boys and Girls (Momci i devojke) gradi imidž zabavnog radnog mesta, a prema toj ideologiji, potreban vam je konferencijski sto sklopljen od LEGO kockica.
