Hotsolder - Electronics & Other Geeky Pursuits: Super Etch-A-Sketch

To paraphrase RFK, "Some people see a project like this and think why? I see a project like this and think why didn't I do that?" Neil Fraser did it. He hooked a PC up to an Etch-A-Sketch. But he didn't stop at just twisting the knobs. Oh no, this rig can turn the unit over and shake it to erase!

Pretty cool if you ask me. His site has some other neat toys like an automatic combination lock opening device (but don't worry, it won't work if the lock is attached to something).

Oh yeah, and here's the fine print:
