Bluno - BLE with Arduino Uno

For aficionados of smart devices and wearables, now you can go further than hacking things bought in the market to building your own prototype out of garage. The Bluno board is first of its kind in intergrating BT 4.0(BLE) module into Arduino Uno, making it an ideal prototyping platform for both software and hardware developers to go wireless. You will be able to develope your own smart bracelet , smart pedometer and more. Through the low- power Bluetooth 4.0 technology, real-time low energy communication can be made really easy. Bluno integrates with a TI CC2540 BT 4.0 chip with the Arduino UNO development board.

Whatsmore, we also developed the App for the Bluno (both Android and IOS), and they are completely opensource, so that you can modify and develope your own BLE-hardware platform. Note: For the demo application and arduino code, we integrated dfrobot wireless libraries for the beginners. SparkFun Electronics. Project Freematics. DfRobot.

Incorporating scads of LEDs into an electronic project used to be a hairy prospect, a veritable rat’s nest of wires and code.

Adafruit NeoPixel Überguide

The arrival of dedicated LED driver chips brought welcome relief, offloading grunt work from the microcontroller and allowing one to focus on the application. Much simpler, but still not “Christmas light” simple. The WS2812 Integrated Light Source — or NeoPixel in Adafruit parlance — is the latest advance in the quest for a simple, scalable and affordable full-color LED. Red, green and blue LEDs are integrated alongside a driver chip into a tiny surface-mount package controlled through a single wire. They can be used individually, chained into longer strings or assembled into still more interesting form-factors. Can I use NeoPixels for POV (persistence of vision) displays? Not recommended. The product list continues below.

NeoPixel Ring, Trinket, 3D Printing bring you “Caleb Kraft & the Spinning Beachball of Doom” #neopixel #neopixelring. September 18, 2013 AT 3:07 pm If you are heading to World Maker Faire New York, watch for “Caleb Kraft & the Spinning Beachball of Doom“, built in the newly released free app DesignSpark( The spinning beachball, for those who are unaware, is the scourge of any mac owner.

Any time your computer is “thinking,” you get that stupid beachball on your screen, basically analgous to the old Windows hourglass. I have an Adafruit Neopixel LED ring and a Trinket development board on my workbench, and I realized that I all I needed to do to get the correct pattern for the beachball was make a tiny modification to the test code used to make sure all the LEDs are working.After that, I had to fabricate a shell.

Max Maxfield has been writing about a new free piece of software for design called Design Spark, so I figured I’d give that a try. Rostock MAX 3D Printer Kit. THE NEW ROSTOCK MAX v2 Lead time 7-10 days The NEW Rostock MAX v2 - The largest build envelope of any printer under $1,000!

Rostock MAX 3D Printer Kit

With everything you'll need to build a complete machine - every nut, bolt, wire and fastener – this is a true builder’s kit! The massive Onyx heated bed and super flat borosilicate glass build plate allow you to print more than just PLA. From ABS to Taulman Nylon, you’re limited only by your creativity when it comes to printing. From our incredibly simple and efficient EZStruder, to our SD Card-ready firmware, the MAX is simply the best value you’ll find anywhere. What’s new with the v2? • Re-designed hot-end platform and Delta arms and mounts for worry free assembly. Photos of My Rostock Build and Prints. Ray Kurzweil on how technology will transform us.
