All you need is some programming knowledge and BUGlabs Modular Gadget Factory kit, and then you’re all set to build the gadget that you like!

You might have heard of modular homes that are composed of prefabricated parts or sections and then built on the site. This same concept is applied on this gadget kit; different prefabricated gadget components are available inside which can be connected to one another to create a new device. Like if you want to create a monitoring device, you could connect the BUGmotion component to the BUGbase and you already have a motion detection device with built-in accelerometer. Want to add GPS capability and remote tracking? Then connect the BUGlocate and you’re set to track, and with the WiFi built-in the BUGbase, you can even view it on the internet! There are a lot of gadgets that you can create using this kit. All you need is some knowledge on Java programming and you can create your own applications. The open-source Linux creation gadget platform doesn’t impede your creativity of having a prototype of the next big consumer gadget hit!

MX-1 World’s Smallest R/C Copter

by john-the-geek on 24/10/08 at 12:37 am

Our world seems to lean on tinier gadgets. Yes! Thin is in. Tiny is shiny. Every gadget seems to become smaller, sleekier, and thinner. Now we at geekiegadgets present to you the world’s smallest R/C Copter – the MX-1. The MX-1 is a sharp looking little copter and it has a redesigned remote with smooth slider like controls. Dock the copter in the clear bay at the bottom and charge it up at the same time.

Important Note:
The MX-1 is a 2 channel copter so it is always moving forward slowly. You control up/down and right/left turns. Due to the dynamics of the helicopter right turns are wider than left turns. If you want the MX-1 to move forward faster you can add a bit of weight to the front of the nose. Of course careful use of the trim buttons at the beginning of each flight is pretty much a necessity. Practice up on your flying skills if you hope to challenge the expert pilots at the ThinkGeek world headquarters of doom.

Product Features

Introducing the Annoy – a – tron . This wonderful  and small piece of gadget generates a short (yet very annoying) sound that would beep every few minutes of time. The target won’t notice it since the interval of sound would vary, from 2 to 8 minutes. He or she would have a hard time looking for it since it’s so small. The capacity of sound ranges from 2khz to 12 khz. 2 khz would be annoying enough, but if you really want to piss off someone, then try the 12khz sound.

3 simple steps.
