I was playing with some rgb leds, and here is the result, for now just pictures, then I’ll write some tutorials about my newest projects!
The website GameTrailers released today two videos from the game Crysis, comparing the quality of the game working on DirectX 9 and DirectX 10, take a look at the results below. The news is that they can play the game with DirectX 9, and with some patch or Windows XP version, because till now it only works with Vista and DX 10.
To watch the movies in high-resolution click here –> Hunter/Jungle Fight, or continue reading for embedded movie.
Yesterday after school, I decided to take a look at some gadgets at the public market to see what stuff would I find there. And that’s what I found, a ugly Ipod and PSP fakes. Didn’t take note on the ipod fake, but the “PSP” plays some games (not PSP games), comes with a 512mb SDcard where all the files, mp3 and movies goes. The screen quality isn’t good if comparing with the real PSP.
Well, there goes the pictures.
What do you say?
We have been looking at the ecosystem growing around VIA’s ITX and Nano-ITX platforms and we’ve just discovered what has to be the smallest PSU around.
The picoPSU, by MiniBox, is barely the size of an ATX connector. It’s 120W, and has a couple of molex connectors and a floppy connector, as well as an input jack for mains power.
It’s designed for use in embedded systems where space is at a premium. It’s 100% silent, has a lack of messy cables and provides enough power to keep a Pentium M or Via C3 processor juiced up, depending on the other peripherals in the system.

Listening to music on my pc (proudly using WINAMP), I was wondering how would be to have some leds blinking with the sound that came out from the P2 connector, so I decided to make a simple circuit to do that. It worked pretty fine, so I decided to write a HowTo telling step-by-step how to do it. Hope you enjoy it!
Nowadays, winamp have full support to keyboard shortcuts. But some time, when winamp didn’t have this feature, I was thinking in some way to make a easy way to change music by simply pressing one button, it would make things faster and would help me to change music during games. So I decided to make a external control painel, to make it easier to change musics, volume up or down, toggle shuffle and many other features by pressing just one button. I found one winamp plugin that shows how to configure a external control using the Serial Port, being able to make 4 or 15 buttons control. I decided to make this, step-by-step, how to do it, hope you enjoy.
Surfing on http://metku.net I found one interesting tutorial how to mode one old mouse installing a LED on it. I had this old mouse haning around so I decided to try it myself.
