If you find yourself in an unheated cabin in the woods this winter or your house has really bad central heating, it might be time to slap on these “USB Heating Gloves”. In 5 minutes your hands will heat up to 52 degrees Celsius (125 Fahrenheit), which is probably too hot unless you don’t mind […]
Ian writes – In making an electronic circuit exhibiting chaos, one is essentially making an analog computer for the differential equations describing the system. This means that circuits that can differentiate a voltage are needed. In practice, it is convenient to actually do this with electronic integrators, the idea being that the input of an […]
Boarduino is a “breadboardable” Arduino clone created by Ladyada. It has a much smaller form factor and it’s designed to plug right into a solderless breadboard, making your circuit prototyping efforts a breeze. How cool is that? You use it just like a normal Arduino. You can slap the standard Arduino bootloader on it and […]
