Some would say that an electronic dice would take the fun away from the game, but I’m not sure that’s always true. Anyway as the friends from PyroElectro say “we’ll make it anyway”. It’s based on the ATmega8 which controlls 7 LE’s that show you the number. All the schematics and source code is available for download.
Every gadget gets hacked sooner or later, it’s just the way things go. Some people get bored and can’t help themselves not hacking something to make them different, unique. In this case, you’ll be learning how to install a Wii modchip.
The WiiKey modchip doesn’t actually go on the Wii’s motherboard, but the DVD drive’s motherboard, effectively sitting between the DVD subsystem and the Wii’s DVD interface, and it tells the Wii that any disc inserted into the drive is an authentic disc of that Wii’s region. The Wii never suspects that the DVD drive is lying, and that’s why the modchip allows you to play backup up games, homebrew, and so forth.

ATMEGA8 DevBRD is an open source development board for the Atmel ATmega8 build especially for Linux users. The board is well suited for beginners who just want to start learning the avr programming but also for advanced users who want to use it as an MCU board.

The circuit seems to be very popular because it is so simple and still has a very useful and practical application and It is considered by some the perfect circuit to get started with AVR microcontrollers.
This thermometer can be used as a standalone thermometer with LCD display or it can be read out with a PC running Linux, Windows, MacOSX or solaris. BSD Unix and others are probably also possible to use for reading the temperatures. No special drivers are needed.

This is an USB interface cable for R/C simulator. The device looks like a standard HID joystick for operating system and converts up to 8 PPM channels from transmitter into joystick axes and optionally - buttons. If you know about radio controlled models and their PC simulators like FMS, Aerofly Pro Deluxe, RealFlight G2/G3 and Reflex XTR, and if you are an owner of PPM transmitter box then you definitely know how to use this device.
Basically this is a project for R/C models enthusiasts and it’s helping them simulating the control of their device.
