I decided to make a quick video of me soldering together the Plug-in Bread-Board Power Supply from the Maker Shed. This power supply makes a great addition to anyone’s electronics lab. Here’s why: This power supply module plugs straight into common bread boards, allowing you to cleanly and easily power your board with a wall […]

All this week we have a 10% off sale this week in the Maker Shed, use code “2009OX” at the time of checkout – Happy Chinese […]
Two very sweet high-end pieces of hardware arrive in our Maker Shed for the discerning arduinaut – Arduino Nano Arduino Nano is a surface mount breadboard embedded version with integrated USB. It’s small, complete, and breadboard friendly. It has everything that Diecimila has (electrically) with more analog input pins and onboard +5V AREF jumper. Physically, […]
Here’s another Make: Books PDF excerpt. This one comes from Tom Igoe’s Making Things Talk, which tells you how to create Arduino- and XBee-powered devices that form networks of smart objects. This excerpt shows you how to work with two different distance rangefinders, the Sharp GPxx series of infrared rangers and the Devantech SRFxx series […]
artrat801’s thorough SX-150 mod/conversion rehouses the analog synth kit as a desktop console along with a ‘sq-150’ homemade sequencer. Nicely done, those wood side panels that just seem to whisper “analog”, don’t they? [via Matrixsynth]
