ok i'll be first i suppose...
here's mine, it holds one AA battery between two springs i pulled out of click-pens.  the only thing i actually bought on this was the momentary switch, the rest were various plumbing (water and gas) parts i found along with the solder and whatnot...i'm thinking of trying to replace the AA battery with a stack of watch sized batteries.  I also made a nicer looking one out of an LED penlight which i replaced the LED to an infrared one i found out of an old TV remote (the remote had two) and i had to file the led housing down to expose the led a bit better, but here's pics of the one i'm proud of =)












Sorry for the crappy quality, but you get the idea...you cant see it too well, but it has a small exposed blue wire and the momentary switch is just glued on the outside of the main housing...

My Pens:

This is my first fully functioning pen. (I made a few before this that a) didn't work, b) had wires going everywhere or c) looked/worked terribly). The grommet comes out and the rechargeable battery slides out and can be put in a recharger, whilst still connected.


This is the pen my students use. It is very cheap and easy to replace IR-Led if dropped.


The parts list is in the youtube description.

This is my latest and greatest pen. I made two identical IR-Pens together, they work fantastically! Plus they look awesome and the recharger was a really cool idea. I prefer the thinner one, mostly because the shrink wrap gives it a nice feel. I wanted to try a fatter body as always used the thinner ones, I find the thinner pens feel more ergonomic with the switch added.

Here is my pen.





I just used an ordinary white board pen.

No intention to start wholesaling pens (too many other big ideas)!

Not sure about fellow users but I find it unacceptable that the man that is putting in a huge amount of time to do some really cool work on the Wiimote Smoothboard doesn't have a good IR-Pen.

I just bought the parts, so PM me your postal address, and I will assemble this Low Brow tech item this weekend and post on Monday!
