When you need to get up at night, it helps to have a little light so you don't stumble through the dark. If any light will do, why not make an awesome one out of an old NES controller?Instructables user lonesoulsurfer decided to do just that with some lights, AAA rechargeable batteries, a solar panel, casting resin, and a few other materials. While not the simplest of ways to turn a controller into a night light, you definitely get a pretty awesome product in the end. Check out the video above for a demonstration of all the different features of the light and the Instructables post for the full how-to.NES Controller Night Light in Resin

Easy DC Motor Controller
Here are the parts you'll need. All of them should be available at your local RadioShack or hobby store.
(1) DC motor
(4) MOSFET transistors. I used the IRF540N, but any N-channel MOSFET will do.
(4) Diodes
(2) NPN bipolar transistors. I used the BC548.
(2) PNP bipolar transistors. I used the BC327.
(4) 2200 ohm resistors (red-red-red)
(4) 10K ohm resistors (brown-black-orange)
Some jumper wires and a breadboard, if desired
The resistor values are not critical. Values that are fairly close will most likely work fine. Also, If you are confused about the pins on your transistors, take a look at this wonderful reference sheet from Adafruit: http://www.adafruit.com/adablog/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/electronics-reference-sheet.jpg
