Poor Man’s DIY scratchpad

at 12:30 pm. Filed under Cool Gadgets, DIY Hacks

 

How to make your own scratchpad out of nothing but a pizza box and an optical mouse. I’m sure everyone has a spare optical mouse–and if you’re anything like me–an abundance of pizza boxes lying around. Check out a video of it in action.
I love to see these sorts of ultra low budget hacks. Keep up the good work out there.

P.S Merry Christmas!

    Now that would make a really geeky project if someone were to hook one of them up to a microcontroller (or somethings similar), and made it totally stand-alone! ;)

    I remember seeing something like this awhile back. I thought they used a ball mouse though.
