CamTim is a simple electronic circuit hack that allows any digital camera (with a remote) to be used for time-lapse photography of nature (moonrises or sunsets for example), continuous shooting of an event or for monitoring applications including research and security applications etc. [more]

This project uses a Microchip PIC microcontroller and an Infra-Red LED to act as a PC controlled cable TV changer.It’s use to change channels on the cable TV set-top box when making a recording.A very simple program on the computer sends the channel number over RS232 to this PIC based IR transmitter which creates the correct waveform for the digits to be sent.

This is a general purpose remote control project with using programmable PIC microcontrollers. This project can be used with infrared (RF) or radio (RF) media. If you are not familiar with microcontroller programming, you can use fixed encoder and decoder integrated circuits instead. Well-known such IC-s are Holtek HT-12D, HT-12E and Motorola MC145026, MC145027, MC145028.[more]

Users of the Apple iPod could not get enough of the music experience. These are some of the features of the Apple iPod that makes it so beautiful to music lovers.You can use a Pocket computer to possibly record the waves an infrared remote produces. Transfer these waves to your iPod & start changing your TV channels. You now have a old universal remote control.The Apple ipod can be used to control any home electronic equipment in your house. It can control your tv, DVD player, Media Center, even a robot. This is the power of iPod hacks.[more]

Control a remote controlled car with your computer using Microsoft Robotics Studio. Then, add a wireless IP camera for stealthy remote operation.You Will Need a remote-controlled vehicle with a digital controller. That is, a controller that uses switches for orward/backward/left/right, not potentiometers. The car used in this article is a vehicle from the โDub Cityโ collection by Jada Toys.[more]
