Sooo, if you're not familiar with Make Magazine, you should be! An excellent quarterly "bookzine" from O'Reilly publishing - them guys that do the computer books with the ink-line drawings of animals on the cover. I'll be down there this April 22-23, giving BEAM lectures / workshops at their MAKE Faire in San Francisco, and […]
Wednesday Links: Marble Track Table, Fil...
Solar botics
January 22, 2014
Technology empowering cats! Cats should have the right to tweet! Or at least have a live video stream dedicated to their cat-like doings and goings. All with the help of Arduino Yun.This is just one of the many things (five is considered many, right?) that we have for you today:
|
Wooden Table Carved with Marble Tracks We don't just love techy crafts. Marbelous by Ontwerpduo is a wonderful piece of craftsmanship. (Via Colossal) |
 |
Arduino Yún Powered Cat Camera While "solar-powered data logging cat collar" in our header is merely a joke, an Arduino Yún powered cat camera has indeed been built by Hotte. (via Arduino Blog) |
 |
Spherical Glass Solar Device Charger A solar charger with dual axis tracking system by André Broessel of Rawlemon. Looks good, charges stuff and works as a nightlight. What else could you want? (via Designboom) |
 |
A Quick and Simple Filament Joiner for Multi-Color Prints 3D printing is fun and here's an easy way to join multicolored filaments to make it even brighter. (via Hackaday) |
 |
Fibre Optics Used in the Wings of the Olympic Doves This isn't something new, but we said "cool" links, not "new" links. And these definitely look really cool. |
I think there should be more cat-targeted technology in the world. There's already cat-entertaining marble-embedded tables, lit up doves, and multicoloured filament 3d printed cat toys, but we need cat-charging solar stations as well. I consider this a cat-rights-lobbying Parliament-worthy speech. Yes.

BEP Application #4 - The BBPV
We've churned out another Bicore Experimenter's PCB project: The "Bare Bones PhotoVore". This is an elegant little circuit, which offers the functionality of a basic photovore (with tactiles) all on a very simple circuit. Ours is solar-powered by a Miller Solarengine, but if you wanted to build one with a battery, your parts count would […]
Solarbotics Antweight
Adam Conus sent us a nice little message about his antweight combat robot The Fly.: Western Allied Robotics is kicking off another year of antweight combat events and I need new motors. (Because I'm very, very hard on them!) Still, they're cheap and light. Check out- http://home.comcast.net/~conusa/adam.htm to see the robot complete with solarbotics sticker!
