This is my latest project. It's a new fishtank lid with all LED lighting. 2 rows of daylight white and 1 row of RGB. The lighting is controlled by my custom built electronics and micro-controller. I used an Arduino Mega as the MC and have programmed it through my PC. The lights can be manually controlled for any colour or left to operate automatically switching between off, day and night modes :)
It also operates a temperature gauge in the tank.
I plan to add more to the software over time to do other cool stuff.
The controller unit has a 16x2 character LCD and a 6 button keypad to control the menu options.
I've hand carved these 9 spoons over the last couple of days. Typically they take between 30 - 60 minutes each. These spoons will go for sale for the Wye Wood Project, the charity that I'm a part of :)
"Gabe, the hero of our story, purchased this wrecked 1994 Pontiac Grand Am last summer from Dave's Towing in Ann Arbor, Michigan for $100.
After a few necessary repairs, work proceeded: Gabe sawed off the crushed roof and built a custom frame for the new roof and windows. Inspired by the Batmanesque charm of his creation, Gabe then rigged up and riveted on fins, reworked the nose, and spray-painted the car matte black.
The car even features high-tech theft-prevention gadgets the likes of which even Wayne Industries couldn't develop. When thieves tried to steal the car last year, the steering wheel broke off. In the process of trying to hotwire the car, they also fixed the brake lights."
