I need a lot of cables with me in my laptop bag when I travel, mostly to connect up portable hard drives and other miscellaneous gadgets. The problem I was having was that all the cables would tangle together, so I'd have to pick up a big wad of cable and extract the one I needed every time. To some degree, rolling up the cables in wide loops (as you can see inside the bags here) helped. But they still got tangled every once in a while, and my bag did not have enough pockets to give each cable its own. So finally I got fed up with it all, and decided to make some more pockets. Since the backpack pockets were made of cloth I figured that it might be good to use cloth. But sewing is tedious without a sewing machine. So I looked around my room and behold, a pinkish anti-static bag was lying there from a shipment of PICs I had just received. It's a thin-ish plastic that still feels somewhat strong. I would..."

I thought it might be uncomfortable to wear the original device at night so I installed it in a stardard sleeping mask. It works perfectly and even has a little pouch to easily reach in and switch it on and off. You can press the button through the mask too if you want. It's not rocket science but I thought people might want to see this variation to the mask. The first night I used the mask it worked perfectly. I dreamt I was walking through a hallway and the lights above my head started blinking on and off. I looked up at them and then thought, "Oh yeah, it's the mask!" Then I woke up. The key is obviously to take control from that point. Unfortunately I was on a plane a few months ago and accidentally left the mask in the seat pocket! That's why these images are poor quality. They're from my cell phone and are the only ones I have. I'm sure the flight attendant didn't expect to find a "brain..."

The first version could only fit if you used a controller with a surface mount board. This revision is compatible with all models.

Like a clock: the Python script acquires connections to the four controllers, finds the time (in this case, a 24-hour representation, so, 14:47), converts each digit to binary (which seems a little weird, but it's called 'Binary Coded Decimal', and it's quasi-useful and easier for humans to read than a full-on binary representation of the time), and sends the binary representation of the digits out to the controllers.

I loved natetrue's http://cre.ations.net/creation/vinyl-overlay-for-tactile-feel-on-iphone-nes-emulator creation, but the mask openings for buttons didn't feel right. Since the vinyl doesn't impede the touch input, I tried a small bump in the center of the Dpad, and also over A and B. The bumps act like home-key bumps on your computer keyboard. This was great (read as high score in Defender) but the small vinyl buttons kept sliding around. I tried soapy water (and considered rubbing the iphone on my head to develop a stronger static charge) but couldn't find a reliable and removable adhesive. I think a drop of candle wax might do the trick, but I have an aversion to holding a burning candle to any $500 object that isn't a very expensive birthday cake. In the end I settled on a full screen overlay with the above mentioned buttons self adhering to control spots. Vinyl sticks to vinyl great. This gave me good control, and buttons remain..."

The touchscreen is a flat piece of glass. You can't feel your way around on this phone like you can with most phones (and all gaming controllers). Playing NES on the iPhone, then, is a lesson in inevitability - your thumbs will eventually drift from the buttons and you won't hit the button you need at the right time and you'll die in the game. What's a man to do? Well, if you have any excess vinyl laying around (say, from an http://cre.ations.net/creation/cheap-underwater-digital-camera-enclosure underwater camera enclosure), or if you want to buy it from a craft store, you have all you need to make a tactile overlay for your screen. The vinyl is perfect because if you press it against the glass it adheres like a decal (because decals are made from the same material!). The iPhone's beautiful glass screen makes it easy to..."

The answer, a great game! Using a low power Nokia 3310 LCD and a single 8pin PIC 12f683 only, I made a boulderdash clone. The whole thing runs from a single CR2032 battery and is small enough to wear as a watch (if you use the smt version of the pic) and lasts for days on a single battery. Input via a tilt sensor at the moment, but can be via a joystick using a resistor network on the single analog input pin. More detail can be found on my site at..."
