FPGAs are ubiquitous in "traditional" engineering, but still have only a small stake in DIY culture. Here are a couple of projects that are changing that.
My experience researching the HexBright; an open source, Arduino programmable flashlight.
In this month's episode of "Engineering Roundtable," Nick Poole works on his DIY pinball machine!
We've got some upcoming classes, plus a way to sign up to receive up-to-date info on our class offerings!
In addition to the ongoing robot competition at AVC 2013, we included some carnival-type entertainment for the attendees. We rented a dunk tank, triggered it with a swiveling mallet, and challenged people to play "Trampoline Simon Says".
We have three new products to talk about this week, and a couple demo videos, so check it out.
Open-sourcing Laser Technology and the SparkFun visit the Optics Lab at the School of Mines
