As if to throw the gauntlet down before our friends to the north, the San Francisco Hacker Space Noisebridge signed their lease today. Take that Canadia! Their new space is ground level (something we had once hoped for here in…
Today only from 3-5PM you can come to NYCResistor and get your laptop etched for a mere $25. This is crazy since we normally charge $100, but it’s a slow day here at NYCResistor so we figured, let’s see if…
The Spooky Box is a simple interface for Processing that consists of 3 knobs and 4 buttons. There are two versions, an Arduino based hardware one which doesn’t exist yet, and a software emulator which I just finished. There’s also…
You may remember Canadia as the red terror of the north. Whose imperialistic aspirations once lead them to invade the United States without any evidence or accusation of wrong doing. But today, I’m going to write not about the unbridled…
Metamorphosis from Glenn Marshall on Vimeo. How appropriate! Glenn’s video was generated using Processing, the rad visual programming suite that is so terribly useful for hacking Arduinos. 🙂 Take a look! This is a fantastic segueway to the PROCESSING STUDY GROUP…
For the craftsman and the shade tree mechanic alike, tools can represent an extension of oneself and a useful companion who eases the journey to a finished project. This amazing tool is a true companion which turns one of the…
For History Hacker, my fellow resistor Raphael Abrams helped prototype some projects with me. We were at NYCR working on making an AC Generator out of a bike when Adam had the bright idea to hook the two ends of…
I built a fantastically hacky boost converter to light this lovely Soviet nixie tube. One cap, one inductor, one resistor, one mosfet, one diode, and an ATTiny13. Or, as Raph put it, “one of everything”. Equally tacky, hacky clock coming…
We’ll be hosting the first Processing Study Group meeting on Wednesday, September 24th at 7:00PM at NYC Resistor HQ. If you’re interested in Processing, from novice to expert, join the mailing list and come check it out! I’m looking for…
NYC Resistor is not only a sweet hackerspace, but it is also the home of the RepRap Research Foundation, a not-for-profit setup to support RepRap research. If you are unfamiliar with RepRap, it is an open source project to build…
