Unit is based on Arduino Atmega328P MCU, with over 430 UV LEDs. The PCB board is made using Toner transfer method and isn’t perfect. It was just too big and I was too lazy to do it again. However, marker here, scratch it there and it it good enough.
The unit itself is on single sided copper clad board, no additional cables, no narrow paths (except for one for power on the MCU). Design is straight forward. It’s designed to be powered from 12V source (computer) and take around 2,7Amps @ full power which means around 30Watts.

An Arduino-based clock with 180 RGB LEDs. The LEDs are driven via 12 TLC5925 1- channel constant-current addressable drivers – [via]
Its built on doublesided copper clad board using Toner transfer method. The routes aren’t smaller than 0.44mm and all vias are made for 0.8mm drilling (truly DIY). Just around 5 vias are under a component and 7 segment displays have singnals only from bottom side (for easy soldering)
- 180 RGB LEDs driven by TLC5925 constant current LED drivers
- each LED addressed separately (12x TLC5925 with 16 outputs each)
- each colour adressed individually
- 4x 7 segment LED display
- Atmega328P as MCU
- DS1307 real time clock
- Photoresistor (for adjusting brightness)
- And DHT11 for temperature and humidity
- Backup battery for clock
- 5V DC (eg USB)

This is a low-cost prototype electrooculography (EOG) system, based on the ATmega328P, that allows people with motor disabilities to write text on a screen using only eye movements. Luis explains: [via]
The human eye is polarized, with the front of the eye being positive and the back of the eye being negative. This is caused by a concentration of negatively charged nerves in the retina on the back of the eye. As the eye moves the negative pole moves relative to the face and this change in the dipole potential can be measured on the skin in micro volts. To translate this voltage into a position, two sets of electrodes are used to measure the differential voltage in the vertical and horizontal direction, on this project, however, just horizontal movements are recorded.

JeeLabs has a product known as the JeeNode v5, which is essentially a miniature Arduino (Atmega328p) board with an onboard RFM12B wireless module. Boards are available with the serial interface (shown above) as well as USB.
You can buy the kit directly from JeeLabs, or build your own using the schematic and documentation provided.
While it’s not an Xbee compatible RF unit, the RFM12B has its own RF12 library of functions which should help you accomplish many control and data transfer tasks.

Arduino based POV globe capable of displaying monocolour bitmaps upto 72 pixels high and x width. (uses 72 LEDs, and one input to get rotation speed)
Arduino byte array for images are generated using the c# program included in this project
Image displayed is synch’d to speed of motor using a reed switch, this allows image to display around hole globe correctly, and maintain a constant position.
Code has been added to move the image slowly (so globe rotates nicely)

The idea was to make a Reverse GeoCaching box with custom hardware and cheap parts. As we already know, Reverse GeoCaching is relatively new thing where the idea is that you already have the “treasure” in your hands, but in order to access it you must go to a specific location. Once you get there, the box opens and the treasure is yours. The box doesn’t show you the destination coordinates but only the distance and also a limited number of clues and that’s where the fun starts.
This Reverse GeoCaching box’s hardware consists roughly of: ATmega328P microcontroller, graphic display from Nokia 3310 phone with backlight, Li-Ion BL-5C battery from Nokia phone, MAX1811 Li-Ion charger IC, PC USB GPS receiver, Mini Servo and other bits and pieces.

This watch is built around a 3V-powered ATmega328P running at 8MHz. Time is shown using 2 circles of 12 LEDs, in a manner similar to an analog watch (with hands). Minutes are indicated on the exterior circle of green LEDs; hours are indicated on the interior circle of red LEDs, as shown in this video.
