Hacking toy RC cars
Project Lab provides the details on how to produce a wireless robotics platform using a cheap RC toy vehicle, Arduino, XBee and Processing. The vehicle is completely controlled by the code running on the remote computer which allows very rapid prototyping of the code to tell the vehicle what to do and how to react […]
555 based AM radio transmitter
Rtty21 has posted an Instructables project using the 555 timer to build an AM radio transmitter. By adding just a transistor, several capacitors, resistors and a 5K pot you will be on the air in the 600 kHz portion of the AM dial. While the range of this transmitter is relatively short, you could possibly […]
WiFi for Arduino with Asus WL-520gu
If you want to WiFi enable your Arduino but don’t want to spring for a shield, Todbot shows how to use the Asus WL-520gu router. By installing the DD-WRT Linux firmware the Asus acts as a serial-to-network gateway for Arduinos (or most any other USB device).
