Show HN: An old rotary phone converted into a mobile phone
Ha I love it! I love seeing old hardware hacked to bring it kicking and screaming into the modern world. This is why I love things like Arduino's. They a cheap but so much fun.<p>My daughter is 13 and I have been teaching her C (well the Arduino version of C) to make a clapper (clap to turn lights on and off) for her bedroom. She loves it and keeps coming up with ideas for things she wants to do.<p>Future projects include an automatic curtain motor and a remote controlled lock for her desk based on if her phone is or is not near by.<p>I don't know (or care tbh) if she will want to go into the world of computers for a job later in life but I am sure her knowledge of how computers work and not just how to login to Instagram will be benefit for her.
