    Craig's MPC remote control!

    I built so much of it around Media Player Classic, i changed the name! Craig's Remote MPC Control! Control your laptop/pc/desktop (98/xp/vista/win7/win8+) from your Android!! Built around MPC (Media Player Classic for Windows) Fast foward support by a long press of the arrow keys > > and...

    An Online government!

    As the title suggests... An online government, think of a massive forum except each state/suberb is a subsection of the forum where everyone in that suberb controls that suberb through voting and discussion, the treasury is split up, into smaller amounts and spread out, this is a radical idea...

    Got a 2n2222 npn?

    Want one of the worlds simplest oscillators? Here's the end result, it's got three interesting features.. 1. It's an exploit of this type of transistor, as it should not really work 2. Current is really quite low even though i used a 1000uf 16v cap only a few ma no more than 1 - 5ma, this...

    120/240ac Triac Dimmer

    An arduino controlled triac caught my attention on fb, after reading about it occurred to me that a mc controlled triac controlled dimmers are expensive vs a triac/diac and a potentiometer to give dimming control Then i realized this is only of any use for old incandescent bulbs, theactrics...

    Microwave movement detector module

    I came across this and i had to buy one the price, claims it can sense movement behind thin walls

    Latching Circuit npn/pnppnp

    While waiting for the thyristors.... I built this, simulator says it works (using a 2n222 (generic npn) and a 2n44?? (Generic pnp) In real life, it fails to work... After an hour or so i gave up and tried the above circuit (simply moved the feedback point to the base of the npn) This...

    I Give up! SCR anyone?

    Maybe they don't exist but i can only find small thyristors (to92/2n2222 little black 3 pin size) i bought 5 "thyristors" but i never checked the data sheet and they sent me TRIACs instead which will do for what i need but... A 1/2/5... amp thyristor seems hard if not impossible to find!

    Lemon Fire Starter BS

    I call BS/HS/DS on this! Looking closely there's something behind the pot the wires from the real battery wires are through a drilled hole in the pot and covered up by dirt.. Videos like these need banning from youtube... And survival ??? Yeah when in the woods i come across coper and iron...

    Solar powered balloon?

    Had a thought, would it be possible to use solar power on top of a hydrogen filled balloon?, with a couple of motors that can push it in a direction of choice... But, the catch is, the circuitry would have a way of converting say 100ml of onboard water into hydrogen to keep the balloon up and...

    Joule Thief Wiring

    I can't imagine this working, it's not joined like a traditional joule thief so how's it working (the torroidless version on the right)

    Opamp vs Comparator

    I just built mysf a little charger circuit for a super cap, even a 2w 22ohm resistor is getting hot delivering under 300ma (taking forever for a 400f cap lol) but, the question is.. i used a comparator vs an opamp, and when the voltage is reached the output pin drops to gnd voltage, most opamps...

    Theory .. LED Current reg

    A few months ago i built a little (5 watt little?) Light which uses a LDR, it's worked flawlessly, but i don't have current limiters in place.. It dawned on me a few days ago, it does!... using a light diode resistor does do that Come darkness the light comes on slowly 0.6v.. 1v... 3v to the...

    CCD/Constant Current Diode!

    So i went looking for a CCD and found little so i had look to see what one was! Funny looking diode lol

    passive WIFI

    I'm not sure about how this works, if it can receive a packet then it's oscillating at the righf frequency? What's the analog circuit required for in the first place?

    Craig's battery saver for Android!

    Well, Android is infamous for battery drain so i wrote an automatic deep sleep which supports all hardware services on Android.. To use, simply run, select what kind of wakup checks then hit start! For example you go to work use the phone for a few minutes here and there but still you need...

    555 PWM or is it?

    Adjusting the timing cap would imply you're changing the frequency, i thought pwm applied to a fixed frequency (adjusting the on/off period) These circuits change the frequency? Is that pwm? More like FM lol

    hacking an LC meter

    I bought it to measure inductor values, and quickly realized it's not up for the job for most inductors Before i open it up, i'm hoping i can modify it for low inductor values, should i quit now? lol
