Well, we missed out on spring, but summer is finally here and it is hot! And that means we have fireworks, mosquitoes, green stuff on trees, bunnies and sparrows, air conditioning, donuts, lasers, er... that is year round. That’s why today we have some thunder clouds in order to provide some cooling, laser bent wood to provide some funky patterns, and turtles. They are always good to have no matter the weather.
Interactive Cloud Cloud stuffed with electronics including Arduino and motion sensors to simulate real thunder cloud. I wish it also hovered around on its own. (Via Colossal) |

One of these items was the "Metal Cassette Mechanism", and was the heart of a great many Solarengine Kit. Hail the return of the almighty MCM! (Ok, it isn't as earth-shaking as all […]
Here's a link Harold just sent me of his micro-ScoutWalker3. Gotta say, I haven't seen workmanship this tidy in a long time. Nice job...
Remember the other week when we mentioned how the Arduino Parts category was looking rather thin? Well, we've gone ahead and fattened it up a bit with the following new items: 16MHz Through-Hole Crystal for Arduino Ardubot Bare PCB Barrel Power Jack 2.1mm Connection You might be wondering what the heck does a power jack […]
