USB Gadgets!! [THREAD] (show us your usb gadgets!)

betagame · 11-11-2008

I want to know if anyone owns a USB gadget (e.g. Fan, fridge, travel mug, light)
tell us about how much you like it, and a picture if you can.

I own some USB gadgets. Ive even made my own.
Heres Mine.

Disregarding devices with actual practical use, I've got a little guy named Tengu. When there's music playing he moves his mouth and "sings". If you blow on him his face changes to something else. He looks like this:

I have a flash drive, a lamp that's shaped like a lava lamp, but has bubbles in it, with changing lights...I have a thingie that has 4 USB ports on it...A laptop mouse if that counts...Oh and a NES controller so I can play ROM's with it on my computer

Does this count? It's a boarduino hooked up to an LED display over USB. Built it over the summer, programmed it myself, mostly sits in my desk drawer doing nothing, unless I take it out to show it off

The coolest USB gadget that I ever saw was a USB Flash drive that changed size! If it was empty (had little sorted on it) then it was small, but as you added stuff to it grew and grew.

Now that's just cool!

I checked mouse but then I saw Flash Drive and forgot to click on that too.

For USB I have:

-External 2.5" hard drive (80gb)
-External 3.5" hard drive (200gb)
-Empty external 3.5" enclosure
-About 32GB worth of thumbdrives kicking around
-USB Bluetooth dongle
-Multiple USB hubs (some powered, some not)
-Webcam (old digital camera), new digital camera, iPod(s)
-Mouse, keyboard, controller

I also have serial (yes, serial) winamp controller I built years ago. I have it hooked up near the couch (in the living room) so I can change songs from there.

I also have a project back at my parents' house that was a USB based 16x2 character LCD winamp readout, based on a PIC chip. It sort of works :/
