What can you do with a busted (or merely obsolete) chip? Well, you can always make a trivet or even chip bugs. But here’s a new one: Alejandro Gonzalez found that you could make a BristleBot by bending the pins of the chip. Clever!
You should do this with an op-amp, or maybe a 555.
You can make a bristle bot, but can you incorporate the chip’s component functionality in the circuit?
This looks like a fun mod for some sort of beam-bot.
