I saw this module also, and feel it would be a great addition for my robot controller!!! (I always have to add the big buttons and missile toggle switches with covers, so this would be right at...

Hi everyone! We do have a transformer infinity, with the keyboard dock, and will say that it is great. It runs android perfectly. if I need to use Windows, I use an app called Spashtop, and remote...

Something along the lines as one of these might be useful...

Includes a nice-ish box, and is cheap. Might...

I'm pretty sure one of these would be nice, even has wifi, and I think it can drive 2x digital monitors.

Also, here are a bunch of "vechicle"...

Hopefully this hasn't already been mentioned, but if you are planning on using this to control AC lights like christmas LEDs or the like, you need to account for the zero cross of the relays to PWM....

Thanks Mike! Now if I only had more time to play with it!

I'm a little late to the party, but that book looks like a good read.



This sounds kinda like me! Except I would participate in Science Fairs if we had them around here. I also find it amazing...

I think that this has been mentioned somewhere in the Spinneret forums, but I can't seem to find it. I was trying to find a case for mine too, but then i just ended up making one on my CNC machine. ...

For the ph sensor, you may want to take a look here:

They make little boards that take an imput from a normal ph, orp,etc. Sensor, and convert it to a serial signal...

I had this happen over the weekend, and got them to work using the same mentioned.

Ken-
Really neat project, especially since you made it on a short schedule. I started to make one, then lost interest due to the programming aspect, but the board you are using would work...

@OBC,

Are you sure I don't get a bonus again? It was only a nerf gun I had on there last year. (This year im putting an airsoft on my winnings from last year :) )

Can't wait to see what...

OBC-

I have to agree with you, our society tends to not be "hands on."

Last semester, as a freshman in high school, I took a tech theater class, which is one of the more technical classes, ( I...

From what ive heard, Apple won't let you talk to a a serial device, without a licence of some sort. On the 30 pin dock connector, there are serial connections, and it technically possible, just not...

I got one...

2π(ng)
OR
10π(ng)

2*pi and 10*pi is a full circle in radians, and pi+ng is a ping sensor.

or two...

Funny, I noticed that too...

I think a hammer would be a good icon.

I wish I could have been there, it sounds like a lot of fun.

Matt- Maybe you could use some of this to fix your bot... :)

I hope this hasn't been posted yet in another forum, but i thought http://www.sparkfun.com/products/10585 is pretty cool. I got a Tmobile G2 about a month ago and love it, and this board would make...

Very neat thread! I'm doing something like this, on my 2x3 CNC router. I am planning on using emc2, but hope to move it to propeller. I also got ahold of a Panelview 600 touch screen from Allen...

Personally, I would run a 3-4 line serial cable, and then put a separate prop board and LCD in the wall. I think Rayman's 4.3" touchscreen would work nicely, and they are the same price as a...

Hopefully this hasn't been mentioned (I'm on my phones small screen and didn't read the entire thing), what what I think night work best here is the microsoft Kinect. I don't have one yet, but the...

Way cool! Too bad these weren't available in august, I ended up with dual 5Ah Li-pos, which are awesome, but built in charging is pretty sweet. Also, I like the way you prototyped the SMD ics,...

I don't know if this is what you are looking for, but this won a contest last year.

Yes, the prop is able to do that, I am actually doing it right now. I have 42 channels of LED lights, being controlled by two props. A PC running vixen lights http://www.vixenlights.com is...

I have been using Design Spark also, and i think it is decent, i like it a lot more than Eagle, but i haven't used diptrace a lot.
