This is an unsorted (but tagged) list of cool things other people have done and then posted their own set of instructions about how they did it that might be useful later for one of my own projects.

Leyden jar of DOOM! (via) 2009-01-25 11:01PM

I don't think I've got the capacitor to appreciate this enough.

Reverse Surface Mounting method for leadless surface mount devices (via) 2009-01-25 11:01PM

This is a neat prototyping technique to mount SMT parts in a piece of through-hole board.

DIY Heat Sinks (via) 2009-01-21 11:59AM

Oh, this is good. Buying heat sinks sucks.

How To Make A High Voltage Power Supply (via) 2008-11-29 10:15AM

Always a handy piece of electronics, high voltage power supplies. :D

Auduino (via) 2008-11-18 01:33AM

Grandular synthesis with an AVR.

AVR controlled RC plane (via) 2008-11-08 11:19AM

This is somebody building something that I'd wanted to try building. Very cool.

Electronic minimalism - Intro (via) 2008-11-05 11:59PM

This creative design for a light-sensing LED flasher uses the LEDs themselves as light sensors.

Run an uC from an AA-battery - Introduction (via) 2008-11-05 11:54PM

I just found this on Hack a day. This dude's crazy, reducing things down to the most minimal hardware you can use. This project powers a microcontroller from a single AA battery with a switching power supply inside the microcontroller.

Cellular automata and LED matrix fun (via) 2008-10-29 11:21AM

This is far more LEDs with PWM than I've ever attempted to drive from a single AVR... but quite cool. Reducing things down to 16 discrete values seems to help quite a bit...

Simple Solar Circuits (via) 2008-10-23 10:55AM

A simple tour through how to work with solar cells in a circuit.
