[jaswro]

[gravycakes33]

did i say i did not like something dumbass?

[zanthius2002]

Any chance of the code in the BS2?

[Xtremectd]

Cool hack.... i'm slightly confused though... does the BS2 communicate to the server which communicates to the beta bright or is it a different connection and the server only connects to twitter for the BS2?

Either way... Cool hack.

[ryanjrose]

The BS2 connects to a server which twitters and programs the beta brite

[TheRavenofNight]

This hack made my geek girl heart sooo happy.

Will you marry me? Or at least get this on the national market?

[sourd222]

What is the name of the pinball machine?

[add1c7i0n]

how about i just bone your mom on top of the washer every time i have dirty laundry until it's done

[jgq85]

But will the washing machine run Crysis?

[jonblock]

Why not set your watch or cellphone to beep after 40 minutes? Seems like you're cracking a walnut with a sledgehammer.

[notfakeguy]

When people ask why I just ask why not?

[MajorDisaster4u]

He has the sign only few feet from the washamachine telling him when it's done? ehhe cool hack none the less.

[WhirlpoolCorporation]

Hi Ryan and everyone at YouTube, Make and Engadget

My name is Brian Snyder, and I work at Whirlpool Corporation where we make Maytag appliances. Im excited to see that youre still getting use out of what looks like a 25 year-old Model A210.

Were always looking for new ways to connect our appliances with the Internet.

Were always listening @WhirlpoolCorp, so please drop us a line! And, of course, well be following the excitement of @PiMPY3WASH.

Thanks,

Brian (@bsniz)

Queston for the poster: If you went to all the trouble to modify your washer, why didn't you take it one step farther by bypassing the dial & go with a all digital interface?

[ryanjrose]

it wasn't much trouble, but adding a digital display does nothing to solve my problem. I wasn't really setting out to improve the washer. Just sort of play around with electronics and do something useful. (to me anyway)

[travelplus1]

the attot machine

[memorex258]

nice, I was planning to do something similar because i always forget to take the clothes out. I didn't think to incorporate twitter though. I was just going to put a sign that lights up by the fridge whenever I needed to take out the clothes.

[9130440]

aswome dude

[immortality64]

LOL whats next? car hack!?

[nightatnight]

Nice work. I think a lot of people thought of something like this but, you made it real.

[Charactereyes]

great stuff, now all you need to do is ditch the god awful Data East Lethal Weapon game and get yourself a nice Williams pin! ;-D

[ryanjrose]

Yep -- Know where I can find a nice Attack from Mars?

[aliasneoone]

I'm an Electronic Engineer, but I'm also a man, why waste good electronics and time on something a woman can do perfectly well. But clearly this guy doesn't have a woman around. Good luck with that one, they'll probably see the washing machine setup and run.

[BananaBread71]

I'm an Asic Designer for Intel AND I'm a woman and I feel truly bad for your wife. I think this guys idea is brilliant, and you're just jealous you didn't think of it first. Now go do your own laundry!

[aliasneoone]

FPGAs are my thing. Don't feel bad, it's all just a bit of fun, friendly banter between the sexes so don't get offended. Maybe it's an American thing (or wherever) most of us here in UK keep our washing machine in the kitchen or similarly regularly visited spot. Kudos though, I love to see great Electronic (or otherwise) mods done to otherwise totally mundane household things, why else would I have been watching the video? Keep it up.

[frankthespank]

....no more mildew clothes? How the fuck do you manage that? I've had clothes sit over night and not mildew. If your clothes start growing shit if they sit for too long, you're doing something wrong when you "wash" clothes.

[xorbe]

This is cool, but it needs more cowbell somehow... pocket timer (aka cell phone) works great here. Can't think of a suggestion, a washing machine would be difficult to hard hack anything...

[chazdrums]

This is cool, soon entire households will be able to do this. Dammit, now I need a house.

[LuminousFive]

You could just... IDK, set a timer? Lame.

[ImTheDarkcyde]

You could just walk to work. You could just eat raw vegetables. You could stop disparaging the work of others.

[frankers806]

that is too brilliant! but, I don't own my machine, so I just listen for the buzzer, lol!

[kenboyflails]

This is completely brilliant. Nice job with the "Clean" remix, too!

[Agent25i]

Nice work. At first I thought this was a made to mock the tonnes of useless hacks for the dumbest things made by so many people. But if I had the means, or know-how to do it myself, I'd be all over it. Make one for the dryer too, help keep your clothes from wrinkling.

[SigersonLTD]

Seems like too much #tech to me. But if it gets mass production, could be cool... And before you ask, yes, I am, the arbiter of cool :)

[Miralize]

*Looks at washing machine in the corner*

[necromncr]

You like blinking, dont you? How about an SMS?

Awsome project though, I've been planning to hack my washing machine myself with some extra tweaks.

[ryanjrose]

Twitter effectively is SMS. I could do all that with no problems, but this suits my needs the best. Good luck on your hack.

[jesseroonie]

You have made my day,sir. That is the coolest thing I've seen all year, and my hat is off to you.

[mikeular]

what is the name of the song?

[sifigrl]

It sounds like a remix of Depeche Mode's "Clean" song...

[ryanjrose]

Depeche Mode - Clean (Colder Remix)

[Eckie1]

Extremely nerdy.

I want one.

[crazymacvideo]

Extremely ingenious for those of us who forget about our laundry ALL THE TIME!!
