But the brief samples of the system in operation that it includes are, frankly, not a great advertisement for its capabilities or its potential. […]
DSO Nano v2.0, from the Maker Shed, is a Digital Storage Oscilloscope designed for basic electronic engineering tasks. The DSO features an ARM Cortex™-M3 32 bit platform which provides basic waveform monitoring.
The Cryoscope shows the user exactly what to expect outside by haptically exhibiting exactly how cold or warm it is to be outside. The user simply touches an aluminum cube that has been heated or cooled to the appropriate temperature. The unit fetches weather data from the internet, and translates it to the cube physically, […]
