I spent the day in Mexico City buying components for my forthcoming Euroaxacan workshop in electronics and software for craftsmen. I usually get here fairly cheap wheels for my robots, nice soundspeakers for building music instruments, wire -lots of wire-, great responsive buttons and some other stuff. I try to avoid LEDs, since they are […]
Just got back from Toronto, where I attended events at Toronto Digifest and TIFF Nexus. I was very impressed with all the interesting work happening there. I gave a presentation at DigiFest on Arduino, Physical Computing and Mass Participation (PDF, 25.9MB). At TIFF Nexus I was a commentator on the Peripherals Initiative along with Steve Daniels, […]
Arduino Nano controlled 2 axis solar tracker / light seeker and battery charger. Hobby scale for the moment. The tracking fidelity is excellent, but there is still a mechanical resonance problem. via [Microcontroller]

I was looking for some motors for the courses I run with kids here in Mexico City. There is a street downtown where it is possible to find a couple of shops selling components, from resistors to pushbuttons with embedded 12V lamps. I was in the need of a couple of servo motors, as well […]

I spent the last 10 days traveling in Mexico. I went to Tijuana, Queretaro and Mexico DF. There is quite a lot of movement around Arduino in academia, the arts, and even pre-university education. This is just a summary of a very intense week. In Tijuana I hosted a lecture at CECUT, the local Art […]

Jim McGuire of the Stensat Group sent this report on what might be the most exteme environment that an Arduino’s been deployed in yet: “In addition to the primary ISS construction mission, STS-127 is carrying two 19-inch spherical satellites scheduled for deployment on Mission Day 16. The two spheres, Castor and Pollux [http://eludium.stensat.org.nyud.net/ANDE/Main.html], are part […]
In Argentina I got told to ask for the famous “Bife de Chorizo”, a juicy steak served more or less everywhere. I spent three weeks working with Buenos Aires’ Ministry of Education in promoting the lab-in-a-box project and teaching secondary school educators in the use of open source technologies. We developed interesting examples using a […]
