Hacking The Glade Wisp

Hacking The Glade Wisp
Make your own scent output peripheral from a piezo air freshner

Not long ago, my 11-year-old daughter Belle wanted
to create a gadget that would amuse her dog Panda
by dispensing different scents for him to sniff. I had
no idea how to control the dispensing of fragrances,
so we took a trip to the local pharmacy and checked
out the electric air fresheners.

Most of them diffused fragrances with heat or fans,
but one, the Glade Wisp, claimed to use a microchip
to "automatically puff" scented oils into the air.
Intrigued, I bought one to see what made it tick.

The Glade Wisp runs off a single AA battery, which
powers a vibrating piezoelectric disc that atomizes
and disperses aromatic oil in short, smoke-like puffs.
The Wisp turns out to be easy to hack --- for less than
$10 you can make a computer-controlled aromatic
atomizer for all sorts of practical and artistic projects.

Here's how I modified a Wisp to be controlled by an
Arduino board running just a few lines of code.

Chumby Phone

Chumby Phone

There's no simple explanation of the Chumby. It's an
alarm clock on steroids, a digital photo album, a tiny
Linux box, an internet radio player, and more. Owners
can set up a queue of personalized software widgets
through which the Chu mby continually cycles. These
widgets, made interactive through the Chumby's
touchscreen and motion sensors, include news,
weather, email notifications. Flickr feeds, Facebook
friend status, and even Netflix queue status.

Above all, Chumby's open design welcomes
hacking and crafting. The creators of Chumby
offer not only their entire base of source code,
but the schematics to their hardware as well, at
chumby.com/developers/hardware (login required).
