There is radiation literally everywhere, from the sun to sources you wouldn't even think of like bananas and brazil nuts! You can't avoid it, but we can detect it! Join Matt as he 3D Prints and puts together a geiger counter to detect the radiation around you using old soviet geiger tubes based on the cdv-700. What have you detected around you? Would you write the Arduino code differently? Let the team know on the element14 Community!

Many people want to go into space, to explore new frontiers. Clem however, wants to take photo's of himself using a rocket powered Raspberry Pi. Join Clem as he 3D prints a propelled rocket, including parachute, and teaches you how to reach for the stars with electronics and computer aided design. Have you designed something similar? How high have you sent your Raspberry Pi? Let us know on the element14 Community

Will Pie Face be defeated at last? Does the Atari 800 portable work? Do we get to see more soldering? Find out in this episode of The Ben Heck Show where Felix and Ben put the finishing touches to the custom printed circuit board and design a laser cut and 3D printed case with the help of Autodesk Eagle and Adobe Illustrator. Let the team know what you think on the element14 Community.

What're your favourite 8 bit computers from the 1980s? Ben Heck's is the Atari 800, and what better to do as a final project than making it portable? Time to tear it down! After pulling the Atari apart to reverse engineer it, it's time to design using Autodesk Eagle to create a printed circuit board. Though that's not all in this episode, we get to see the final return of, Pie Face! Join the element14 Community to share your builds, find help and engage with the team.

Sean and Connor Miller join Ben to build a clock crane. It’s a crane sitting on top of a staircase, disguised as a clock, and takes things from the first floor to the second. Back in 2006, Connor’s Mom was diagnosed with MS so she has a lot of trouble carrying two-handed objects up a staircase. This accessibility device will use the matrix creator to enable voice-activated, hands-free carrying of objects such as laundry baskets.

Almost every electronics project on the show involves soldering in some way, and today's rare retro console is no different. Ben's been tasked to fix a Vectrex which sports an old style cathode ray tube display! Taking every effort to be safe, Ben replaces some of the electronics components inside before getting to work on the rare part, the 3D display headset! Watch how Ben and the team repair this rare retro' component! What retro hardware have you repaired or would like to be tore down? Let the team know on the element14 Community!

It's time for hacking in Ben and Felix's Great Clock-Off! How can we keep track of the time without using a personal computer or mobile phone? Well, Ben utilises discrete electronics and encoders with an LED matrix to keep stock of the time, where as Felix puts together a microcontroller with an LCD display and Real-Time Clock crystal as an alternative and more high tech' option - have you made a clock from scratch? What would you do differently? Let the team know on the element14 Community.

With the stress of modern living, it's time to be more zen! Matthew Eargle joins Ben on the show to create a robot that can reproduce and rake your very own, chilled out, zen garden. Ben's getting his head down with the 3D Printing design using Autodesk Fusion 360, while Felix and Matt talk stepper motor control with Arduino code. What would you have done differently? How do you relax? Let the team know on the element14 Community

The Raspberry Pi No HDMI project went over really well. It could be the basis for a great kit except for the fact that it required a lot of wiring and soldering. Now, Ben and Felix are going to take a look at what it would take to make their work the basis for an all-in-one PCB. It could live as a kickstarter kit where people simply buy the board, attach a screen, a Raspberry Pi A+, and a battery so they can then own their own Raspberry Pi No HDMI.

Can you hit it? sudo Sergeant Felix can! Taking his hand to the soldering iron and shift registering into gear with Beagleboard.org's Pocket Beagle, Felix is putting together a Drum Sequencer with the help of the Bela Mini audio cape! With a laser engraved case, hands-on help with S. Astrid Bin and a custom designed input-output matrix for driving the LEDs watch now to find out how Felix puts it all together with C++!
