szupie 0 Report post Posted February 14, 2005 lol i just modded my light switch <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Spam... I kinda "modded" my light switch too, by making a "remote control" for it. Because my bed is far from the switch, and I want to turn off the light after I get into bed, I made this. First, I tied a string around the switch, then ran the string down the wall, and along the floor, towards the bed. Then it went under the bed, around it, and went up on the wall next the the bed. Now I can lie on the bed and pull the string to pull down the switch, turning off the lights. Also, I wrapped some tape around the end of the switch to keep the string from falling off the switch from the pull. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
miCRoSCoPiC^eaRthLinG 0 Report post Posted February 14, 2005 Lol.. nice one szupie. I did the same too - except that I resorted to a Clap-Switch instead of the string way - but the string way results in a far more innovative contraption.. Incidentally, have any of you guys played either of those great games called "Contraptions" and "The Incredible Machines" ?? You can do exactly that kind of stuff in those games - i.e. build up some amazing contraptions with your own choice of cog-wheels, motors, pipes etc... Btw, you can "mod" your CoffeeMaker with Linux and instruct it to come up with whatever you pick from a long list of different types of coffee - did you know that ? For more info see below. I lst the original link - but found several more on the same topic...0. http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/1. http://ecee.colorado.edu/~ecen4610/ expof03/compuccino_pdr.ppt2. http://www.mindflip.org/x10.php3. http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ Among these the Zeroeth link contains a PDF with detailed instructions on how to designing your own circuits and hooking them up with linux to achieve this...Have fun Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
