The state of Arduino: a new sister brand announced. The state of Arduino: a new sister brand announced Zoe Romano — May 22nd, 2015 The room was packed and carefully listening to Massimo’s keynote about latest development at Arduino during Maker Faire Bay Area 2015. Starting from core values of Arduino, its community and showing the work Arduino team is doing to bring benefits to it: it’s about creating open protocols, bridges and connections, to give more options to makers and allow them to port projects on what platform is more effective for the development of their ideas.

Arduino community is at the center of his message. In the last year more than 21.5 million visitors landed on Arduino.cc website and 65% were returning visitors with an average session of 6 minutes. That’s why Arduino is not only about boards. This approach is represented in the improvement recently brought to the Arduino IDE but also developing web-based tools.

Going back to hardware, the moment arrived to give some news about where to buy Arduino.cc boards. Grasshopper - generative modeling for Rhino. Liquidware : Open Source Electronics. GEONExT: geonext.de. Mantissa (Mathematical Algorithms for Numerical Tasks In Space System Applications) Overview Mantissa is a collection of various mathematical tools aimed towards for simulation. It is not a complete mathematical library like GSL, NAG or IMSL, but it contains various algorithms useful for dynamics simulation and 3D geometry computation. The library error messages in exceptions are internationalized (only english and french are supported for now). Content Mantissa contains a collection of algorithms, among which: a small set of linear algebra classes least squares estimator (one Gauss-Newton based, one Levenberg-Marquardt based, which should even work for over-determined systems) some curve fitting classes several ordinary differentials equations integrators, either with fixed steps or adaptive stepsize control (see below) vectors and rotations in a three dimensional space algebra-related classes like rational and double polynomials various orthogonal polynomials: Chebyshev Hermite Laguerre Legendre some random numbers and vectors generation classes: Robert M.

Downloads. Solutions from PC Magazine: Save the World with Your Screensaver. Anybody would like to cure cancer or AIDS or solve the world's most complex problems. Unfortunately, not everyone has the brains or training to do so. But with the help of your computer, you can contribute to efforts to solve these enduring puzzles. Using grid, or distributed, computing, your desktop or laptop acts as one of thousands (or even millions) of computers all trying to solve the same problem.

Your computer will download a tiny piece of a larger research project, analyze and perform calculations on it, then send results back to be added to those of other machines. Your computer does its work by using CPU capacity that normally goes unused by the system when the screensaver starts up (some programs wait until the system is idle to begin work). The first step is choosing a cause worthy of your spare computing power. Next, download the project's software.
