Sugru is the new epoxy
Fashion colors, plus it loves LEGO. LEGO + Dinosaur = Rawr!
Don’t let this happen to you
The world never looks quite the same once you’ve started using Arduino. … but you could change from “whip” to “puree” from your computer! Change speeds based on how mixed up the contents look… no, stop. 🙂
XBMC Pronto CCF
Many moons ago, some kind soul set up a Pronto CCF that has every single “OBC” (which I think means “original button control”) code that XBMC understands, and put it up on sourceforge in the XBMC repository. That was 7 … Continue reading
CNC Build Day 1, Moving on up
I’ve decided to upgrade my trusty CNC machine to a larger unit. There are several small problems with the current machine, some by design, and some in my execution. By design, the machine has a 24″x48″ table, but it can … Continue reading

Where you at?
Probably the most common phrase ever uttered on a cell phone. Competes with “You still there?” of course. 🙂 Anyway, back to the show. I built myself an Arduino-based GPS receiver last night. I used the GPS Logging Shield from … Continue reading
CNC update – endmills
I have a DeWalt palm router (I’ll get the model number later). It has a collet, not a chuck, so it can take 1/4″ shank bits only. Speed change bits don’t work. Just round-shank router bits. I ran the endmill … Continue reading
