more projects!

because i have actually more then 4 projects i'll make notes:

- wlan project (antenna built)
-> wardriving
-> cracking my own network via rainbowtable

- skyscanning (make pictures of the sky with a scanner)


- c64 projects
-> music with the c64
-> c64 interface to my pc

mindmachine again/ new projects

because of the good explanation in the make magazine i won't write an explanation by myself...

instead of that i will intoduce some new projects i'm working on by myself or with my friends.

the only thing i have to say to my mindmachine is: IT WORKS !

i programmed some programs, one to sleep better, one to dream, one (and thats the best) to replace sleep of four hours in 20 minutes (!) that works of course only for the brain, the body is still exhausted.

however... i bought an old c64 and want to do something with it... i don't know what... but i'll see xD
also we have some wlan projects, for example i built a wlan antenna, i'll upload pics when i made some xD

ok, here the pics of my mindmachine

top

batteries and switch

front

board with µc and electronics

back with leds

okay... maybe i write one post where i explain how i built it, but that later^^
my holidays are over and me and my friends already have a new project...

Mindmachine

Because I have holidays and then i'm more bored as in school i met with some friends and did the best of our projects.
One project we did was the mindmachine...

Here is my partlist, pics will follow:
- sunglasses
- 2 leds
- some tape
- a little piece board ( don't rally know how it's called in english)
- 2batteries
- 1micrcontroller, attiny 2313
- 2 resistors, 100ohm
- 2 resistors, 1k
- 1 jack plug
- 2 capacitors, 1µF
- about 2 meter cable
- some cable ties

optional (for me):
- 1 switch
- 1 µc holder
- 1 battery holder (for 2 batteries)

because of beeing a nerd i have a evaluationboard to program the µc's so i could leave out the half of the circuit
the whole project is here: makezine
it was a more or less unplanned by me, and the one who planned it has forgotten the half of the parts but that was no problem for me because i'm good in improvising and i have the evaluationboard xD

as i said, pictures will follow...

pictures of the telescope

here are the pictures:

the complete telescope

...from the side...

my self built connector

the ocular

 maybe i will take some pictures though the telescope to show it's quality - but later, in the next time i want to concentrate on my other projects

it's done!

well... i would say.... it's done !

i installed a dew shield on my telescope - and the result was amazing !
it's still a bit blurred but much better...
i think the blurry is because of the lens - my optician said that and it's okay, maybe i buy a better lens...
however, the picture is better than i thought xD

pictures of the finished telescope will follow

new lens

i took the lens from my other telescope into my self-built telescope , i had to improve because the other lens has a lower focal length (700mm) -  the lens for MY telescope about 1330mm so i had to put the lens INTO the tubus - the result was clear, the picture was sharp... i can see two possibilities: the first is the lens isn't good enough, the second is that to much light is shining into my telescope so i have to change it.
i hope that the second possibility is right, i will consider that^^
