Ok, besides being a conjunction of two things we really love (Make Magazine & BEAM Robotics), it also is an open-source hardware project that is about little "T-Beams". This project is using the "KickStarter" model of sponsorship. Ask for pledges for the projects, and if the minimum is met (and it has - yay!), the […]

August 28, 2013
We are going places! And coming back! And going again! Does that sound familiar? I think I said that before. Yeah, that’s what we do, we are unstoppable indeed. In this case, we are very excited to be going to the Open Hardware Summit at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology as a
really soon – on September 6, 2013. But before we set out on another trip, there's stuff to see here too:

AquaTop: a gaming touch display that looks like demon possessed water Precisely - demon possessed water that you can touch. The Japanese are crazy. In a good way. Combine the passion for using info media in hot baths with Kinect and you got... right, demon possessed water. |

Making keys after the apocalypse Need some keys duplicated in the post-apocalyptic setting? This tutorial will show you how to make them. I bet they will be a hot fashion accessory, along with bottle caps and light bulbs. |

Tech Tip: Micro Terminal Blocks
We use many, many devices with 0.1" spaced holes, which are pretty much an electronics design standard. We're finding these 0.1" space terminal blocks incredibly useful for making solid, secure, yet serviceable connections to the rest of our designs. We'll often reach for a microcontroller board, then reach for a necessary handful of these parts […]
