Love the article and probably will more so when I have time to read in depth.
Coming at this from a defender perspective, there's a big opportunity to stop forgetting embedded tech.
I've seen embedded systems running OSes years behind on patches or upgrades; vendors actually won't support updated systems. Yes. Really. I've seen it in telecom and other dedicated gear. It's maddening.
Hm, if only I could think of just one example of, oh, I don't know, a major retail breach where an out-of-date operating systems played a major role in stealing millions of credit cards... :]

I love my Engineer PA07 strippers. Precision tool. Truly quality sharp blades. Nice handle. Their crimpers are fantastic too.

Well, I'm in. I saw this on diyrovers awhile back and debated but I have a few bucks to throw at this and the capabilities are hard to pass on. Hopefully the fundraiser is successful.

Sweet! Data Bus is registered!
Chalk line? Interesting development!

That's awesome, welcome and congrats, Julián! I emailed you a number of times a couple of years ago after supporting miniBloq. Maybe Scott and I and some of the locals can set up another bring-a-hack dinner and we can get a chance to meet you.

Cool! I'm sure there are more than a few folks out there who can ID those dies, right? That's sort of beyond my radar range but I'm curious to hear what transpires with these. I never had either but of course heard of the Tamagotchis.
Since you asked, I've been fiddling with a BK Precision 1590A o-scope that went wonky on me. It has fancy LED buttons to control functions and, of course, a microprocessor driving the buttons and logic. One day, I discovered that pressing certain buttons no longer resulted in the same behavior. Eliminating insanity and beginning to troubleshoot, I found that something crapped out in the MPU which is some totally obscure chip labeled Kenwood-Trio MTM-5010. Here's the writeup so far. Next step is to do up some kind of replacement, probably with ATmega of some sort.

Looking forward to it! I'll be manning the Bot Thoughts table. :)

I prefer Mini-B on anything/everything. Doesn't everyone have like eleventy-billion mini-B cables in their stash? Mine multiply. Micro-Bs aren't common enough yet. I detest that Arduino uses B. The few square B's I have are being used by printers and large external hard drive enclosures. Long live mini-B!

Some good ground-vehicle AVC discussions going on over at diyrovers (https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/diyrovers) and diydrones (http://diydrones.com/group/ardurover-user-group) specific to ArduRover
