Digg Button Kit v1.0

digg !

Digg digg DUGG!

whats this one for ?

BURIED!
(jk)

Should have took the picture when it said "24".

Flux capacitor

to reduce the component count, rather than having a resistor for each segment this resistor is connected to gnd(for common cathode) or vcc(common anode). this however will cause uneven brightness depending on the number of segments lit.

or something like that :)

open API

No expense spared.

or rather "42"

Is this one off or is it broken? Who knows, it could have 945 diggs!

oh that's nice! if only the LED block was blue like the digg site. i might still remember enough from my computer engineering days to build one for myself.

What *would* be cool is if it was linked up via rf+computer to the digg site for live updates ;)

Can Bre make a how-to video? I'd honestly love to make one.

Knowing Bre (which I don't), he's probably already working on a how-to.

To be totally transparent, this is the brainchild of limor, pt, and kevin. You can look forward to an awesome Make: Podcast about this, it's the ultimate first soldering project!

It really will be super easy to make and will make you want to make a ton of other electronics kits!

In fact, if you're interested in making this, you should bone up on soldering and watch the tutorial podcast and pdfcast!

You should send this to Make magazine, I'm sure somebody over there would really get a kick out of it and maybe put it in the magazine.

idontneedanonlinelife says:

Very cool. I vote for using blue pcb if you make another one.
Posted 34 months ago. ( permalink )

Kuhnaydeein says:

It almost needs another set of led characters on the bottom that say "Digg" but when the button is pressed changes temporarily to "Dugg"

That would be classy.

camonz says:

can be easily done with a set of binary counters and a 7447 IC. since there's only 1 IC my bet it's a PIC running a counting prog. and driving the 7 segment display + resistors + battery

update.

it's definetly a PIC or any other kind of programmable IC. when you go full size you can clearly see the X1 for the oscillator and C1 for the corresponding capacitor

Biggersis says:

Awesome...simply freakin' awesome dude! I can't stop playing with the thing. This would make a great site counter if you could easily implement it into a websites structure. Heck, who know's you could start you own affiliate program like some of these other designers are doing and have other sell it for you! ROFLMAO
