"When you make a thing, a thing that is new, it is so complicated making it that it is bound to be ugly. But those that make it after you, they don’t have to worry about making it. And they can make it pretty, and so everybody can like it when others make it after you"
Was soldered to the end, what time? Sure, many people will not remember much past Tteiu. Innovation Jiwa solder melts and the smoke plumes of hope, a faint odor. That’s when the work with pleasure. And the moment you turn self-conscious combination of all, “moved” that impressed him. You, what you remember? Recall that from the excitement. And from your child wants to tell. We will introduce the tool kit of Erekitto.
Adafruit is in the physical WIRED holiday store in NYC and on their online site. We have our MintyBoost and IceTube Clock kit on display there. We also heard EPILOG has a laser cutter there and is etching laptops!
The WIRED Store is located at:
415 West 13th Street
(between 9th Avenue & Washington Street)
New York City
212-645-0210
The Store is open:
Wednesdays through Sundays, noon to 9pm

We are going to embroider a dress with conductive thread so that it is touch sensitive. What do you imagine happening when the dress is touched and a closed circuit is made?
We started this project looking at some of the interesting variations amongst common fonts. Blowing them up to this size lets you start to see those differences more clearly than usual. Cutting them out as tangible forms takes it a step further– you can feel the curves. Also, they make pretty good coasters.
The ScrewShield is a “wing-format” shield that extends the Arduino pins to sturdy, secure, and dependable screw terminal blocks. (You even get a few bonus terminals for extra GND and power!). The wing design allows you to extend just one or both sides (“analog” & “digital”) of the Arduino, and still access the jumpers, LEDs, and buttons on the Arduino. Thanks to its extra-long header pins, the ScrewShield can be stacked above or below other shields.
Open source hardware is a term slowly working its way into many new projects and efforts, but what is it? There are a few definitions, some of which come from “open source software,” which is usually considered software’s “source code under a license (or arrangement such as the public domain) that permits users to study, change, and improve the software, and to redistribute it in modified or unmodified form.” So how does this translate to hardware? This session will focus on electronic hardware, the layers they can be divided into, different document types, licensing concerns, and a show-and-tell of hardware. Because of the openness of the movement it is increasingly being tied to Web 2.0 services.
So remember that Shuttle computer we got a few weeks ago? Finally had time to install it as our backup shipping station and we couldn’t get the scale to work (its a serial port device). Turns out the motherboard “COM port dongles” were wired for a different kind of motherboard! So if you ever decide to do this yourself, note that the dongles come with ‘alternating’ pins when they really should not be. Check your motherboard documentation to verify which you need, and then a quick soldering fix!
