oPossom totally rocked my socks with a simple hack to turn a Minipov3 kit into an IR code receiver. The kit is modified to store incoming IR signal into the EEPROM which is then spit out via the serial port to a custom program that then translates it directly into a code for TV-B-Gone kits.
When I was in grade school I made a menorah in Hebrew school. Unfortunately it was just made of plastic and wood and when we left it lit overnight it caught on fire and scorched our windowpane.
Ouch!
If only I had thought of making a Menorah using a MiniPOV kit, like mg-man!
Ryan of OHARARP, LLC is making a cool SMT practice kit, a persistence of vision toy!
Cool stuff: bright blue LEDs, boost converter means it runs on a single AA battery, USB connectivity to a PIC, comes with a stencil, solder paste, and wick.
