Once again we have prepared some examples related to the GSM/GPRS & GPS shield. In previous posts we have seen how to handle SMS, make calls and use the GPRS connection to send email or download data from Internet pages. The shield has been developed to accommodate both forms of SIMComs: SIM900 and SIM908: the…
It’s always tricky when you create something: a complex project, a commercial product or just an hack and then you must decide what license you should use for that, for releasing it to the public. The discussion regarding licensing open electronics or hardware in general has been carried on for years now, and many points…
This post follows a first one in which we presented some tips about how to tune printing (with 3Drag but also in general). Here you’ll find 5 more cool 3D prints to experiment with! Porcupine Vase This is an easy print difficulties, with reduced printing times, but it’s. It belongs to the category of…
Lately, many entrepreneurs are switching their attention from the traditional software and web market towards the very promising hardware market. A growing access and a growing ecosystem of startups and bigger companies are, in fact, starting to reach that tipping point in which you have products and services growing on several of layers and eventually…
This scalability mantra we have been used for years now is not getting us anywhere. I’m sick of this build – grow – exit thing. Building the next web startups is not going to make any big difference in the world: we have social networks, blog platforms, we have sites for sharing pictures, we have…
After countless hours of playing with 3Drag (now with a lower price!!) we finally selected 10 prints that you can use to explain what you can really make with your 3D printer. 3D printing is every day more often mentioned in the press: lots of stories, ranging from printing human tissues (thus saving lives) to creating…
Here’s a new episode of our Meet the Founders column! This time we interviewed the amazing Eric Pan, founder of SeeedStudio. Eric is a long time open hardware advocate and also a great business leader. Eric was, indeed, recently featured on Forbes cover and we took the chance to ask him some advices on how…
[youtube id=”5H85RDA5HEw” width=”620″ height=”360″] Andrew O’Malley, an amazingly creative maker, created this fanstastic Open Source Arduino-based clock that can display the time in many different ways: if not enough, one can also add his own personal animation. Andrew’s idea Compared to other clocks based on Arduino, this one has two distinctive features: a single…
Finally, you can submit your projects for publication! See this page here with all the details about the process! Unleash your creativity and tell the others what you’re up to!
These recent breakthroughs in electrical component technology are likely to have a significant impact on the electronics industry – and on people’s everyday lives. Graphene – Latest News for Revolutionary Material Your’e probably aware of the superstar conductor of the future, Graphene: “A wonder material that is the world’s thinnest, strongest and most conductive…
Here’s a simple but essential tool for monitoring the 3Drag and print without the need of a connected computer: all this thanks to a cursor, an SD card slot and an LCD display. Obviously we applied this to our interpretation of the Rep Rap universe (the 3Drag) but you can really easily tweak and adapt…
Today we present you a stereo 10 + 10 Watts audio amplifier based on TDA7297SA, a monolithic dual bridge amplifier that is suitable to be used in projects that feature access to a single 12 volts power supply. This is a compact stereo amplifier: its field of application range from car stereo to portable audiovisual…
