The Arduino Dev Board [Sticky]

Arduino is an open-source physical computing platform based on a simple i/o board, and a development environment for writing Arduino software.

Arduino can be used to develop interactive objects, taking inputs from a variety of switches or sensors, and controlling a variety of lights, motors, and other outputs. Arduino projects can be stand-alone, or they can be communicate with software running on your computer (e.g. Flash, Processing, MaxMSP.)

FT4232H-Based Eee 701 Internals Controller

This controller will be designed for installation into an Eee 700-series netbook to serve the following purposes:

  1. Provide a communications interface to I2C, SPI and UART devices over USB
  2. Control power switching to various internally-mounted low-current (~0-25mA) and high-current (~25-125mA) devices.
  3. Provide non-USB-Host 5V power to the high-current USB devices through high-current SPST switches so as not to overload the USB Bus (Update: This will be done by off-board MOSFETs. There just wasn't enough room on the board to allow it to still fit in the space allocated for the MDC1.5.

I got this LCD screen free with one of my computer-related eBay purchases.

The label on the bubblewrap says:

POM PPM Parking Meter

I found this parking meter at Princess Auto yesterday. Made by POM Inc., this meter is called the PPM.

I got it to work by adding a rubber band with just enough tension to depress the turn-detect lever when the lever is turned. The meter has knobs where a tensioned spring was attached. I'll have to find a decent spring somewhere.

This is the RFID Module sold by RFIDGeek/Univelop Tech. While this little module might not look like much, it IS true what they say, "Good things come in small packages".

Possible MIDIbox Case? 3Com SuperStack II

Possible MIDIbox Case? 3Com SuperStack II

Ok, so maybe it's more suited to a different MIDIbox, say, maybe a SEQ, but this box does have sleek lines, plenty of access in the back, and a built-in 12V, 5V, -12V AC/DC power supply.

This is the Targus RemoteTunes(tm) for iPod. I got it from XSCargo, where they currently have them available for CDN$9.99.

Ok, this 13" Sharp TFT LCD screen with XGA (1024x768) resolution was used in some Dell and NEC laptops, including the Dell Latitude CPi D266XT.
