Cool Atomo prototyping kits from HK."There are a number modules, including I/O boards, network expansion boards and even power supplies for bigger projects. For example, the project below has four I/O adapters and a power supply all connected to a…
Very cool application using the excellent HackRF platform demoed at Defcon.From HackADay:What do you get when you combine one of the best (and certainly one of the best for the price) software defined radios with the user interface of a 10-year-old…
Very cool project using RasPi as a transmitter for controlling RC toys. The dev employed an impressive brute-force method [script + webcam] to identify command codes.From HackADay: An interesting trick you can do with a a fast CPU and a GPIO pin…
"CORRECT!!! DIY needs not reason, only imagination.
I prefer FPGAs for 'simple' projects because they scale complexity up more easily.

"I always see the headline "Drone crash" and yell at the screen "NOOOOO - its an Operator crash!""
"Listening to Wierzbanowski on the grim state of affairs in the US - commercial drones use is and will continue to be illegal even on your own property. He does not sound very optimistic. Its unfortunate the nation leading in UAS development and…"
Interesting read on the limits and human factors complicating flight automation. I contend that all issues are solved with better sensors & processing ability/reliability.From Things With Wings:"As far back as 1980, renowned aviation human factors…
"Just caught the end of Chris' talk on the future of farming:
chlorophyll sensing infrared, terrain feature recognition, tractor-linked drones - Great stuff!!
Its now 3pm PST; and Chris is still taking questions. Are the other speakers still on…"
