AIR for Android app turns Nexus One into slot car controller (video)
Posted on June 22, 2010 | No Comments
AIR for Android, a Phidgets motor control, a slot car set, and a custom built LEGO housing for good measure -- if this project isn't meant for Engadget, we don't know what is! The premise is pretty straightforward: Grant Skinner uses his Nexus One to send accelerometer data to a desktop PC, which then sends it to a motor controller. In turn, the controller tells the cars how fast to go. Tilt forward a little bit, and the car accelerates a little bit. Lean forward a lot, and it picks up speed. Sure beats those cheesy plastic triggers we used as kids! For the interface (which is an SWF that's sent to the handset from the host PC) our man designed a gas pedal with a series of lights that tells you how fast you're going. Let's just say we wouldn't mind a setup like this for the Engadget game room. Video after the break.Continue reading AIR for Android app turns Nexus One into slot car controller (video)

Phone guitar: iPhone OS, Windows Mobile and Android got all night to set the world right (video)
Posted on May 8, 2010 | No CommentsWhat can you do when no one's got a phone to jam with you? Why, you can be a geeky one-man band, of course! Web developer Steffest (just one name, like Sting or Madonna) managed to do just that by strapping a couple of Android devices (possibly an Archos 5 and a HTC Desire), a couple of WinMo handhelds (looks like a HP iPAQ h1940 and a HTC Touch Diamond), and an iPod touch on top of a portable speaker. All this just for a forthcoming presentation on mobile cross development -- Steffest had to painstakingly write the same audio program "in Java for Android, in C# for Windows Mobile and in Objective-C for iPhone." Oh, and it doesn't just end there -- turns out this dude can also

Posted on March 14, 2010 | No Comments
After trying to find a way to remotely control their DSLRs, the clever hackers at HDRLabs couldn't really find anything that would do what they wanted. So what did they do? Built a control of their own, using a Nintendo DS. HDRLabs went on to make the device available, for free. All you have to do is build one yourself.

A look at Nepal’s equivalent of CES
Posted on March 2, 2010 | No CommentsBB has some great images from Nepal’s CAN InfoTech, a 17-year-old tech trade show. It had 238 stalls where folks were flogging amazing 8TB hard drives and the three year old Nokia N81. It’s absolutely laudable that these guys are doing what they’re doing. Outside of Western Europe, CE manufacturers tend to ignore the rest of [...] -
Cyclops watch hard to read, looks cool
Posted on February 18, 2010 | No Comments
Mr. Jones watches are unique in many ways; they are produced by a small design studio, there are generally limited quantities available, but they are pretty much inevitably cool. Normally, they are also easy to read, but that doesn't seem to be the case with the Cyclops Special Edition.

Electron microscopes get their record groove on
Posted on February 18, 2010 | No Comments
Electron microscope photography is cool, and it's been around for a while, but that doesn't mean that that they can't still find cool things to take pictures of. Take a record for example. It's amazing to look a those little tiny grooves and see how raw and uneven they are, but still able to produce beautiful music. It's even more amazing when you compare the analog to the digital, and see how clean and uniform a CD is by comparison.
