This simple project shows you how to drive a RGB LED with a PIC. Interesting, colorful, and expandable. With a little work, you can replicate the Ford Focus’ best feature with this: its configurable interior lighting.

A very interesting project from KipKay (you might have heard of him through Metacafe): recycle a broken or obsolete camcorder and make a night vision camera out of its viewfinder. You’ll also need a few other components for this build but all the parts are reasonably inexpensive, considering the result. Best of all, you can output the video to record on a camcorder.

Here’s a cool instructable on how to turn your fridge into a Lite-Brite. I find the project to be a bit destructive as it involves painting your fridge with conductive paint, but the concept could be taken out of context and you could build it differently. Perhaps as a hangable picture frame. This is something I’ll definitely look into.
