Dissecting old hardware
The last two sessions at Altlab have been a tremendous fun!
We had been collecting lots of old hardware (pc’s, modems, motheboards, cd-roms, printers, etc) to give it a new purpose! Finally we decided to start to take profit from it.
Basically in old hardware trash, there are lot’s of interesting things that still work very well (like [...]

Paper and cardboard circuits
A couple of years ago i found out on the “internets” that you don’t really need a protoboard or a circuit board to make your circuits come to life, the idea was to fold a piece of paper with the circuit design in it (component side and circuit diagram side) and then inserting a piece [...]
