As I’m reading, the “EZ-Expander shield is available for purchase in thenootropic design store and the new Makers Market operated by Make Magazine. It can be purchased as a kit for only US$12.95 (that’s less than a dollar per new pin!), or fully assembled and tested for US$17.95. ”

It’s basically a multiplexer shield, enlarging the Arduino pinOuts possibilities of 13 pins (that are to be used as outputs).
Nice price, as the advert says less than a dollar per new pin!
Nice tool.

Interesting use of a passive pedal as analog volume controller via Arduino and PD / Max/Msp

ning around the internet you can find the strangest projects.
This happen to be one of the wildest: working after an open source computer car “to take automotive computer technology to the next level“.
I don’t know whether this project is linked to Mpeguino, but the sponsor pagemake me doubt it.
Shall we wait for the true open source car, don’t we??

Europeans are used to the fact that we are a conglomerate of multiple cultures. This affects more or less everything, even the press. When it comes to the maker culture, the US has the advantage of having a single market, a single language, and a single culture. On the other hand, Elektor is a brand that has been since long time ago aware of the fact there are people who don’t speak multiple languages (like e.g. English). Therefore their magazine has been published in different languages in different countries since as far as I can remember. At some point I was collecting it in Dutch, German, English and Spanish. You could find the January article on ARM from the Spanish issue, in the Februrary Dutch one, or in the May German one … and vice-versa.

March 2010, Elektor’s English edition brings an article on 20 Open Source Tools. Arduino is featured as the first one of a series of tools that we all admire. It is really nice to be featured in Elektor (though I know it is not the first time, there have been several articles before where readers were using the Arduino board to develop their projects). This same issue brings a very interesting article titled Small & Open Source embedded operating systems that can run on AVR … this means you could probably run many of those small OS on one of the Arduino board models.

Binary clock using Arduino.

If someone wants to make the circuit all it is is each LED is connected to a digital pin from 1-13, and 2 tact switches connected to analog 0 and 5. The LED numbers are the right most column bottom LED is LED 1 and counts up. The next column over would be LED 5 and counts up and so on.

here’s the code.

After looking here and there, I could find this Sept ’09 article found on geekboy. As the site was down I found it googling on willshouse‘s blog. anyway. Mike Parks’ example about simple X-10 triggering via RFID using the free SSH/telnet client PuTTY.

In this example, I control 1 device (on X10 circuit A, device 1). I initally turn the device off. When the RFID tag I am looking for is read, I turn the lights on. Next time that tag is read, I turn the lights off. I acknowledge various changes by providing feedback to the user via blinking LEDs and serial comms to the PC.

code ready.

Massimo, David, Tom, Gianluca and David are meeting up in New York City in mid-March, and we want to see you.  We’re planning a get-together on March 20 with folks from the Arduino community. We hope to have a daytime meet-up to see each other’s work, trade tips on Arduino and talk about 1.0, and an evening of drinks somewhere as well.

In order to do that, we need a head count so we can pick a place.  If you’re interested and can make it that day, email team@arduino.cc.  When we have a general idea of how many people can make it, we’ll post a place and some details.
