Here’s another neat video from Brian Stuckey of ineedcaffeine.com.
If anyone knows where to find more of these displays, I would love to get my hands on some!

Sadly, there is no sound, but the video is amazing. Check out Brian’s other videos on Vimeo or at his website ineedcaffeine.com.
One of my electronics labs in college had a few of these scopes (Agilent 54600B). I can’t remember who originally showed me how to access the game, but it was a great way to show off to the undergrads. You hold down two unlabeled buttons in the System/Utility menu and the game starts up.
Alas, I don’t think my DSO1014A has such a feature…
Version 1.2 of the Arduino sketch that powers the AVR HV Rescue Shield is now available for download.
The revised sketch now displays the target AVR’s existing fuse settings before asking you for new ones.
I also cleaned up and reworked the code in a couple places, but these changes shouldn’t affect the existing functionality.
If you have any issues or questions about the new code, post them in the support forum or contact me directly.
MayorMike, inspired by the article I wrote for Make vol. 20 (Retro Wireless Handset), stuck a bluetooth headset in a plastic toy gun to create his Handgun Bluetooth Earpiece Project. The best part – the earphone is located at the end of the barrel, so to answer a call, you stick it up to your ear. Genius.
The innards are shown below.
Nice work, MayorMike! May I suggest that you pair this with a Hand Grenade MP3 Player?
