Welcome!
Welcome to Spritesmods. At this site, I'll document my more interesting hacks for your viewing pleasure. While it's not updated that regularly, I try to add an article about every month.
Ow, by the way: all the pictures are thumbnails. You can click on them to get the originals, straight from my camera. If you want to comment on an article, there's a discussion area at the last page of every one of 'em.
You may have noticed I've raided the tip jar. That's because my old Canon Powershot S50 digital camera with which I've shot most of my projects broke down, and I had to buy a new one. I did, and now all new articles will contain photos shot with my new Canon D450 DSLR. As usual, click on the thumbnail and view the original photo, from now on in glorious 12 megapixel!

Last 10 comments Show allI'm amazed by your hack-productivity. How much time do you spend planning, researching, soldering, programming to output a project roughly each month?
Yay! looking forward to it.
Working on it. This month, I had a bit less time due to me having to give a workshop in Madrid, so I spent a whole week there. Tons of fun (thanks, Obsoletos!) but not too productive. I did get an idea there which I just finished building (hint: youtube -> spritetm) so expect a new article in a few days.
Give us hacks, or give us death.
Good Job Man
Hey, guys! y couldn't i found this site earlier???????? that the blame to you! your work on reading optical mouse sensor is really gret idea. i was using an optical mouse in PS/2 mode to get the possition of a path guide robot. but now i'm removing all my LDR and IR sensors for few older optical mouses! thats a great idea! thanks! chandpriyankara@gmail.com
hey sprite, great fan of your mods keep em coming!
The tip-jar-button is fixed now: you should arrive at an English paypal-page when you click it.
Hmm, paypal seems to be 'nice' enough to send you to the Dutch page instead of to the English page I selected when I copypasted the link-code. I'll look into it when I've got the time; if you want to donate money you can do it directly to my account at paypal at jeroen dot ietsmet dot nl.
Thanks :) I have a 32-hour job, which leaves 3 days a week free for me. Usually, one to one-and-a-half of these is filled with boring stuff like cleaning, keeping the house in shape, scouting etc, but the rest I can use for interesting projects. Unfortunately, about half of the projects fail in a more or less early stage, so there's some time I don't spend on any projects which will make it to the website. (I'll maybe post them sometimes; even if not completely finished, there still are a couple of interesting things in between.) All in all, it's still enough time to do one project a month; my productivity is more limited by a lack of inspiration than by a lack of time.
