Technology

I’ve been editing Tom Igoe’s upcoming book, Making Things Talk, and it’s been a real blast. I’m building every project in the book, and my office is slowly getting taken over by wireless modules, sensors, and breadboards. In this example, I’m using the inexpensive ($19) Xbee modules to let two Arduinos talk to each other. Link to iPod-friendly video
