How Do I Share My How-To?

It's really pretty easy, pictures and videos of the steps it takes to complete your project are stored on google video and picasaWeb. The "final" video is stored on YouTube. All this is controlled by our Creator's Tools. Basically, you start a project by writing up the project idea.

Step 1. Sign up for a free Creator's Account to gain access to the Creator's Tools.

Step 2. Login

Step 3. Push the "Create New Project" button on the Creator's Tools. Make a name (you can change it later) for your project. And describe your plans to use as notes to guide the creation of the steps.

Step 4. When you've finished providing all the steps to your project, shooting the videos and saving to google video via the Creator's Tool Panel, you are ready to write the introductory paragraph with an interesting story of how you did it, or how you do it in the case of a professional services presentation.

Step 5. Last but not least create and upload the video (to YouTube) which is the video that will be used to summarize the project. If you were building a robot, this final video would show the robot running around, doing fun things that will inspire others to create their version of your project.

That's it... Watch the views and ratings for your project pile up along with the sales commissions! Or get a customer because you showed how you remodel a house.

FAQ About Becoming A Creator

Q. Why would I go to all that work, building something, then put it on a website like C What I Can Do? What's the point?

A. Actually, there are a couple of forms for a reward:

  1. You get rated as an author. Lots of good ratings looks good on your resume.
  2. You Make Money!

YOU Make Money when someone buys a part from You, and builds it into Their Version of your project. And, if YOU have a basement full of red leds and build a red led project - we'll send you customers who are inspired to build your blinking light device. If you sell PC boards, you may link to your own sales. Or sell your own kit online through your e-Bay store.

The same with books! We encourage project builders to make books. In fact, CwhatIcanDo is a great place to get rated as an author. 'Betcha get a better deal from your publisher...

Of course, it is possible that your project won't make you any money, because someone built something even cooler than yours (maybe even inspired by your project.) Maybe you just want to show your version of another project... It's done in the spirit of the web: Sharing ideas. And it's fun building a project on your own.

Home Project: MUTE TV Wearable TV Muter!      ...     3570 Views
Yes, you can build your own muter. I built one in a button, but the form factor is not the biggest part of the project.

This project uses the picAxe microcontroller chip because it has built in Infrared Remote Control codes for Sony TV`s. I have a Sony. I simply put the already built-in functions in the picAxe to work.

I was careful about current drain. I could have made the Infrared light more powerful and increased the range, but I`m usually sitting by the fireplace on a rainy winter night when on comes a commercial!

The commercials are hyper modulated, there is no dynamic range and the result is like listening to an orchestra of square-waves. And those "Gotta Have One Now" pitches is terrible enough at any sound level. But definitely offensive to your auditory circuits.

Scare Crow - For Modern Gardens - Home Project      ...     421 Views
It`s a robotic, sun-powered, holographic scare crow. You can build one yourself. I used pieces of bamboo to make a cross piece to hold the motor and solar cell.

You can build it in a weekend in a couple of hours. Just follow the video and you`ll have the most up to date thoroughly modern scare crow ever!
