Has anybody done some hardware hacking lately? Right now I'm setting up a system in my sisters pocketbook and her phone that will allow her phone to notify her when she gets too far away from her pocketbook. Recently she's left her pocketbook at a house 2 hours away from her twice, so we're trying to prevent going back a 2 hour drive again. My next project will be a security system in my parents room that detects movement at the doorway and makes my laptop beep, so that I can do "things" with my girlfriend in piece.

Please post your recent work or current projects.

That's actually pretty sweet stuff. I'm terrible with hardware. You should post some educational threads here.

Why the " of 'things'

ANYWAY, no idea but would this not go in hardware instead of hacking?

Well if you can get the right tools and hardware you can do pretty much anything. I personally end up ghetto rigging everything I do, so I don't think teaching my "ways" would be smart, since there's probably much more efficient ways of doing it.

I think of the beginner hacking section as a "general hacking" section. There really aren't enough hacking sections here on HF, and this doesn't really go under hardware IMO.

Just be honest - you want her eyes to pop out her head.

I really don't understand what you're getting at.

This is always true, though, in coding, too, and other people's source code, even if it's absolute filth, is still valuable. :D my request remains, as your stuff works, which is more than we can say for some source code.

[Tate]

Absolutely. Someone else's hardware (even if it's junky) is always useful.
