R2D2 Bluetooth Speaker

Star-Wars-R2D2-Bluetooth-Speakerphone

Well, we’re as excited as the next guy to see Star Wars merchandise flooding the Internet, but it is sort of getting to the point where you wonder what item will not be turned into Artoo or Threepio. But hey, this little Star Wars R2-D2 Bluetooth Speakerphone is sort of cute, and decently priced.

Plug this Star Wars R2-D2 Bluetooth Speakerphone into a USB port, and it’ll charge up. When it’s charged, either pair the speaker with your Bluetooth-enabled phone or plug your audio device into Artoo’s standard 3.5mm audio jack. Artoo will light up, literally, including the familiar indicator light and some new funky blue “underdome” lighting he’s had installed. Since he’s Bluetooth, you can even make calls on him when you have your phone paired up. But his raison d’etre is to play music for you. The first song we played through our Star Wars R2-D2 Bluetooth Speakerphone was the Cantina Song. It was also the second. And the third. And the… okay, we’ve got it on loop.

Product Specifications
Star Wars R2-D2 Bluetooth Speakerphone
– Officially-licensed Star Wars merchandise

Make Your Own Pocket Laser Engraver

laser_engraver_by_isolt_1

The main reason I haven’t bought a 3D printer is that I suspect that once that initial “gee-whiz, I can print objects” phase has passed, I’ll be hard pressed to find useful things to actually print. But projects like Thingiverse member Isolt’s Photon Printer, a Micro Laser Engraver, make me realize there are plenty of people working to provide us with things to do with these fancy printers. In this case, you’re looking at a little device that uses repurposed DVD drives as well as 3D printed parts to create a laser engraver, capable of, well, engraving anything you want on a variety of surfaces. It’s not a project for beginners, but if you’re got some time on your hands and know your way around electronics, you should be able to pull it off.

Surveillance On the Sly: AC Adaptor Hidden Camera

AC Adaptor DVR – Hidden Camera

People often show their true colors when there’s no one else in the room. If you’re suspicious or feel that someone’s up to no good in your home or office, then you might want to set up a hidden camera within the vicinity. Clocks and plush toys stuffed with a hidden camera or a mic on the inside are pretty common– but a camera disguised as an AC adaptor? Not so.

To get it up and running, just pop in an SD card and plug it into an AC outlet. When it detects motion, the camera will automatically start recording. You can use an SD card up to 16 GB capacity, which should be more than enough to record 16 hours of video on average.

The AC Adaptor Hidden Camera is  available online for $200.
