I've been wondering for a while how one would go about creating a stylus that works on a capacitive touchpad, e.g. for my laptop. A possibility would be the Wii remote hack by Johnny Chung Lee for laptops and/or projection video. His site is here: http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~johnny/projects/wii/ There a...

After reading Vern Graner's article in April's issue of N&V I couldn't help but marvel at the tremendous capability of Parallax' upcoming release of their re-designed/modernized Digiencabulator.<snip> I'm glad to hear such enthusiasm for the Digiencabulator! For those of you who may have been a...

During the early 80s R.E. ran several issues on building a robot called the Unicorn One. One of the issues gave drawings on building the arms, which were very detailed. I have been looking for this issue without any luck. If any one knows the or has an issue please let me know. Thanks Joe I found t...

I remember the article but I don't know what issue it was in.<p>I have a project where I need to have a Basic Stamp detect...

hmmm... This would be tough. I know the nokia has a custom interface on the bottom of it but getting the pin-out and the communication protocols might be a bit larger a project than would be practical. Could you maybe use the stamp's DTMF output to dial a landline and then send a numeric message to ...

I think the last issue had that exact project, using Siteplayer and a basic stamp (or was it a PIC chip w/some custom code? don't quite remember...).<p>It was used to control an X-10 device via a web page. Look in your back issues (if you have them laying around), or maybe do a search for X-10 on th...

It may also be possible to print your design to adobe acrobat and then post the .pdf file, that is, if you have acrobat distiller...

oops.. hit post when i was aiming for the URL button... soooo as I was saying...<p>some nice 15" speakers on the cheap as well. They have nice surplus and I have done business w/them in the past for good bargains. Hope this helps.. <p>Vern

If you don't mind not building it, there is a nifty little amplifier offered by halted electronics (a resident advertiser for N&V) located here: Mini Amplifier for $19.95 It's less than $20.00, it's 30 watts and it's stereo.
