Resistor Color Code Calculator with Arduino
HOW DOES IT WORKS?
There are 4 small stepper motors , 4 stepper motor drivers, 4 10K potentiometers and 2 Arduino UNO on a breadboard. As you turn the potentiometer, the motors rotate displaying a color and a value at the same time.

Cute Bead Pendant in a Jiffy
I’ll be showing you how to make a cute beaded pendant. It’s pretty easy to make this adorable little pendant in just a few minutes. So here we go. Hope you like it…
Things you'll need:
• Five round beads (any color you like)
• Plastic thread (I took a 15cm long thread for this pendant)
• One metal hoop/ring (an old hoop earring would work just fine as well!)
• One smaller plastic or metal hoop/ring
• A pair of scissors
• A chain to wear the pendant on
LCD Coffee Table
- Stream anything from Mac OS or iOS with an Apple TV! (Airplay mirroring)
- Use it as a fully functioning PC! (with a bluetooth keyboard and mouse)
- Control your table from your tablet or phone! (with LogMeIn)
- Turn things on or off using an app on your phone or a small remote! (with Belkin WeMo or a remote power strip)
I have always wanted to do this, and when I got a 27 inch monitor for cheap, I decided to browse YouTube for some ideas. ( http://youtu.be/SxvrpkABloY?t=9s ) The best one I found I decided to build, and here is the result!
*EDITOR NOTE*: I'm waiting on the glass to be cut. As soon as I have it on, I'm posting the new picture! :D
I've got a lot of comments on my photos, be sure the check them all out!
Careful when taking apart any TV or LCD panel!! I cannot stress this enough! Disassemble the plastic housing around the TV or LCD panel. Don't worry if you need to chip the plastic or break some buttons, just make sure that you don't have to fiddle with a remote or pressing of any buttons to get the TV or LCD to recognize your input device. Min was a TV, so I tested hooking up a PC, a Mac, and an Apple TV to test the three ports (HDMI, VGA, and DVI) to make sure I didn't have to fiddle with any buttons for the TV to turn on and recognize my source.If you can't get around the pushing of a button to turn something on, think about a switch. I suggest using the wireless Belkin Switch Memo for ease of use and price. ( http://www.amazon.com/Belkin-Automation-Switch-Apple-iPhone/dp/B0089WFPRO )
Once the TV or LCD panel has been disassembled, think about getting a plank of wood. My parents had this piece sitting around, but if you are getting a piece from Lowe's or Home Depot, think about the thickness of the wood, the finish, and the durability. We're going to be using screws for the assembly, and you don't want something cracking or splitting. Also think about the finished look, do you want to keep it fresh or stain it? Paint it maybe? Think about it before you buy.
Next, think about the wood. My parents had this piece laying around, but if you're going to buy a slab, think about the thickness, the finish, and the quality of the wood. Remember, we're using screws, we don't want to split the wood. Think about the finish. Do you want to paint it? Stain it? Keep it fresh looking? Also, take into account the kerf, or the thickness of the blade, when you cut. Get a pice of wood with some extra length, don' get it exactly the right dimensions.

Trying my hand at: Mold Making and Casting with Silicone RTV [Pittsburgh Tech Shop]
I will discuss the process of casting beginning with choosing a piece to cast, making the mold, and casting a piece from the mold.
More information about the Pittsburgh TechShop can be found at http://techshop.ws/
I made it at TechShop!
If you have a silicone mold already available to you, the casting process does not take very long. If you're starting by making the mold, however, be prepared to wait at least two hours for the mold to cure. Be sure you have the following before beginning:Time: at least 2 hours for a small project
Tools:
-latex or rubber gloves
-utility knife
-4 paper cups for measuring
-2 paper cups for mixing
-paper or plastic cup to hold the silicone
-hot glue gun
-wooden mixers (popsicle sticks)
Materials:
-something to mold
-silicone RTV
-urethane liquid plastic resin
-Ease Release agent
You should coat the surface that you're working on in a disposable material to catch any spills. It would also be a good idea to have paper towels on hand to clean up messes.
