Tom Ward, whose work will appear in The Best of Instructables book we’re currently editing, has just posted an awesome new “extreme business card.” It uses a matrix of 5×15 0603 LEDs driven by a PIC16F57 MCU.

I was inspired by Kyle Downes (creator of the Giant NES coffee table) to make my own SNES Controller. I grew up more on the SNES, and figured that the Left and Right bumpers as well as the curved sides would give me a good challenge.

my feedback? - Holy Wow! One could have a seriously intense game of ActRaiser on that! Matt says this beast took all Summer to build but that’s not very long considering the quality of the final piece. - Giant Snes table

"Fix it?"

You may think a Marx Generator is a device for spitting out strident communist rhetoric, but it’s actually a type of high-voltage circuit for spitting out HV pulses.
This is probably one to put in the “Don’t Try this at Home” or “Touch = Die” file as we are dealing with current here that can kill. Nice photos of the pulses.

Rob sent us this vid from the Atari Punk Console workshop he tought @ Interaccess. Is it just me, or is the cacophony of 15 APCs noising at once actually kind of nice? The students look pretty enthralled by what they’ve made - very well done.
