New in the Maker Shed: Getting Started with Netduino Kit
People always ask me, “What’s a Netduino and how do I use one?” The Netduino is an open source microcontroller similar to an Arduino, except it is programmed using the common Visual C# .NET programming language developed by Microsoft. Learning to use one is simple with our latest Getting Started with Netduino kit!
New in the Maker Shed: Positive RGB LCD Display Shield
We’ve had RGB LCD displays in the Maker Shed for a while now and while they are really cool, they take up a bunch of pins on an Arduino. This new Positive RGB LCD Display Shield fixes that problem by using I2C for communication!
What’s Different About the Mintronics: Menta?
We’ve come across many an Arduino clone in the Maker Shed. While most don’t add any value to the original occasionally you get one that does, like the Menta. We asked Limor Fried, the founder and engineer at Adafruit to talk about the MENTA and how it differs from other Arduino-compatabiles, find out what she said..
Using the MakerShield – Servo Control
