Put a Modern Scare Crow in Your Garden 
This is a scarecrow designed for modern times. It is solar powered, uses state of the art mylar film with holograms that throw light all over your garden. I have two of 'em in action in my garden and they make a rustling sound while shimmering. Birds and bees like to avoid 'em. Thus, a modern age scarecrow is made. You can make one too. Another great project from CwhatIcanDo.com. Duration: 7.33 min. Views: 79 Rating: 5.0 weekend project: low cost robot - RumbleBot Under picAxe Autonomous Control 
Cheap And Easy Robot built from a Rumble Bot or similar four wheel drive bodied robot. Turns a robot-game into an actual autonomous robot you can build for less than $40 USD. It's an education on robotics that's easy and makes a fun robot for others to admire! http://www.cwhaticando.com/view/?t=Easy%20Cheap%20Robot%20Weekend%20Project&itemParent=258 Check it out. Duration: 7.13 min. Views: 333 Rating: 5.0 Cheap Robot: Rumble Bot uses PicAxe Motor Controller 
A picAxe 8m chip on a simple motor controller board, hang an IR detector on it, writeup some software and BANG! You've got a Robot on the cheap! Motors, tires, gearbox, everything can be had by picking up a $5 dollar Bot Body and adding a simple $20 picAxe chip and board, then blow $15 bucks for an IR detector, and you have a fun and well performing little Bot around the house. Duration: 1.23 min. Views: 206 Rating: 5.0 Motorola Droid Demo 
Motorola's Droid advertises itself as a "DROID" which can do work for you. But what about using the DROID as a control center - The Brains, so to speak, of the Robot? See the whole thing at http://www.cwhaticando.com/view/?t=Droid%20From%20Motorola%20::%20A%20Robot%20?&itemParent=246 We've built a lot of robot bases around here, just controlling the robot base like an i-robot Create, seems like an easy job for the serial port on this baby. We have a whole article on using the Droid as the control "brains" for a robot. Will the Droid deliver as a Real Robot? Read about it on CwhatIcanDo.com... Duration: 4.43 min. Views: 1071 Rating: 4.2 Motorola Droid Javascript Control.wmv 
Using Motorola Droid to visit a javascript page on ilysa.com/car.php. While I apologize for showing it jumping around the screen - I didn't mess with it. So it jumps, but it shows the potential for robotic control via simple javascript commands embedded in a web page. So would a Droid make a good Central Robot Control potential? You'd have to develop an app, but it does seem possible. Can you use all the available powers of the Droid to directly drive a motor controlled base via the serial port? Answer is most likely YES. Can you create a segway-like two wheeled bot that depends on the built in compass, GPS, and camera and accelerometer to make the robot work? I dunno the answer yet, but it's gonna be my next robot project to find out! Duration: 0.97 min. Views: 849 Rating: 5.0 Virtual Robot Plays Online!

Duration: 1.82 min. Views: 939 Rating: 5.0 Weekend Project: Mute The TV!!! Who's got the Clicker?? 
Mute it. Based on picAxe IR outputs. Works for Sony, others, you have to experiment... Wear the darn Mute Button... Yeh, just hit mute and the TV sound goes away. Low current runs for weeks on a rechargeable battery. And I love mine!!! Dontcha just hate it when the TV commercials are super-compressed with some high-pitched "pitch agent" yelling about this and that and if I don't have one of these, I'll have no life... They are so noisy I find myself yelling, "Mute! Mute! Who's got the clicker??? Mute it!" That was then. This is now. With my trusty muter at my side I can shut down the noise whenever I want. This is a great little do it yourself project from C What I Can Do. http://www.cwhaticando.com/view/?t=Home%20Project:%20MUTE%20TV%20Wearable%20TV%20Muter!&itemParent=226 VISIT NOW! Duration: 4.42 min. Views: 579 Rating: 5.0 Weekend Project: TumblerBot 
Put a simple motor controller with an IR detector on this old R/C model, the Tumbler. The picAxe motor drive is a simple picAxe 8m motor controller. It uses the IR detector to drive pin 3 (Interrupt) on the picAxe chip. This makes a controller which I can use to test out various bot configurations, as I buy up the local market for used robots and R/C toys! I found a source for these broken toys at between two and four dollars!

Views: 147 Rating: 5.0 Weekend Project: Build This Simple Robot in 5 Minutes or Less! 
A very simple robot using two gearmotors, a picAxe motor controller, An IR Detector, a battery pack with switch built in, along with a piece of wire and a plastic bottle cap. Wrap the whole enchilada in tape, mount the motor controller and IR detector and you have a cool little Bot Bot style Robot in less than 5 minutes. Reminder: Some of you are forgetting to make sure you have picAxe 08m chips. If you use an 08, there are no interrupts. You can write your own code and instead of using the interrupt, you simply loop through and check to see if the IR is triggered (It thinks it's a high), or better still set a flag that is checked a lot.) This won't work as nicely as does the 08m solution on CwhatIcanDo, but you can get your robot running! The whole enchilada, with schematics and software for the picAxe m8 chip: http://www.cwhaticando.com/view/?t=Build%20a%20Robot%20In%205%20Minutes&itemParent=180 A step by step breakout with software and parts list.
