Before listening to the explanation for this project, I couldn’t figure out what was going on, but once I realized that the 64 flashing squares on the Arduino-powered display would let me play Mario, it was time to get supplies. More

Once upon a time being alone meant you were unable to play a decent game of rock-paper-scissors, but now you can finally amuse yourself with just your own hand. Granted you’ll have to actually make a glove like this first. More

This fully-functional wheelchair comes complete with, well, everything I could possibly think of that’s necessary for something to be called a Steampunk Professor X chair. Vodka cranberry dispenser? Yes. Booming Arduino/Adafruit sound effects? Sure! Working smokestack

We’ve come across plenty of robots that were controlled by phones before, but usually those phones were being controlled by human hands. Some California hackers, however, are building bots that put Android to work for their robo-brainpower. Their first creation, the TruckBot, uses a HTC G1 as a brain and has a chassis that they made for $30 in parts. It’s not too advanced yet—it can use the phone’s compass to head in a particular direction—but they’re working on incorporating the bot more fully with the phone and the Android software.

What do you get when you mash together an Arduino -based synth with a Stylophone-like keyboard? A month ago, even we wouldn’t have known, but now that Handmade Music Austin has come and gone, we’re happy to say that this beautiful concoction leads to the creation of a Nebulophone. Unfortunately, there’s no video (yet) to showcase what this musical wonder can do, but we’re told that it has “adjustable waveforms, a light controlled analog filter, LFO and an arpeggiator that can be clocked over IR.” Hit the source link if you’re looking for all the code, schematics, and instructions necessary to give yourself a weekend project, and feel free to drop the guys / gals there a line if you’re interested in just buying one.

In today’s Remainders: The Old World. We visit Michael Dell in Switzerland, showing off the Dell Mini 5. We swing by Germany, to see one baaaaad reaction to the iPad and 10,000 watts of homemade light-porn. Last stop: Russia! It’ll Be Out In a Couple Months TechCrunch caught up with Michael Dell at the World Economic Forum in Switzerland, where Dell was sporting fingerless gloves (as well as the forthcoming Dell Mini 5). We’ve already seen the Android-powered Mini 5 and got to play with it a bit, so there’s not too much to get excited about in this clip.

Hard drive clocks are a dime a dozen on sites like Etsy, but Hacked Gadgets reader NatureTM went the extra mile and employed an Arduino to control the time and LED light show on the reflective platters. This is only phase one of NatureTM’s project, a chronodot (for time accuracy) and a case will eventually be added. Details on the build are pretty basic at the moment, but a schematic can be requested and code should be posted…eventually. [ Hacked Gadgets ]

If you’re bored over the weekend, you could while the hours away playing video games. Or you could build yourself a badass Arduino quadrocopter. You know, either way. [ Quaduino via Make ]

I…I just don’t know what to make of this Nunk on Droise performance art by Stéphane Perrin. Simply put, the performance consists in dynamically generating noise music from the alcohol drunk by the performer during the performance. During the performance, the performer drinks alcohol and several breathalyzers are used to generate sounds and interacts with the visual. In addition, the abuse of alcohol inevitably leads to uncontrollable results and the body of the performer becomes itself a musical instrument. Several alcohol sensors output each a voltage that depends on the alcohol content in the breath of the performer.
