A good start for a geophone analog amplifier circuit is here. It’s very low power and highly sensitive. It’d be nice if somebody made a Seismic Shield product based on this circuit (wink wink nudge...

My biggest disappointment with OSH Park is that … they no longer ship purple boards in purple shipping bags.Yep, that’s it. Biggest one I could think of. Other than that, they’re completely awesome,...

Yep – a ‘u’ is so much easier to type, though ;)

Thanks for the offer, but I’m in the UK and bought the racer from a UK site (in fact twice from different sites in case it was a localised issue – which it wasn’t). I thought it would be useful to...

is center-positive the most common? Also, which lead on the jack corresponds to center or barrel?

I bought this and hooked it up to a LED but I can’t seem to make it light up. Tried it w/the very tiny lilypad LEDs, too. I’ve tried the same thing w/the round piezo sensor with success, so I know it’s...

Can’t say enough good things about OSH Park, they have done a great job and I have ordered hundred’s of boards with dozens of designs. I have never been unhappy with the service or boards I get from...

Yea, these do have different side dimensions than the small breadboard, so I don’t think you could easily mate them together.

My guess is that you are getting either much too high of a voltage to properly run the LEDs, or the current in your circuit isn’t high enough to actually turn the LEDs on. Test the readings you are...

Could I use the EI as a remote sensor sending data on a TCPIP / peer to peer basis to another device ( say an Android phone) without the EI having a permanent connection to the internet.?

Just wanted to mention that the official Arduino ColorLCDShield library does not work with the Arduino Due but the gLCD-Library by TCWORLD works great! ;–)

This is an AWESOME idea. It’s exactly what I’ve been trying to build using the VS1003 and Arduino Pro Mini 3.3v (as separate boards). Unfortunately, it’s too huge for what I need it for, but I’m glad...

Me personally, I’ve never been a big fan of non-reversible hacks. What if you wanted to sell it later on. A non-reversible hack might lower the resale value. In any case, 50 points for the cool use of...
