Gilad on WRL-10419 - XBee Pro 63mW RPSMA - Series 2B (ZigBee Mesh)
like narpat, I too want to use this for telemetry. Did you actually try what you wrote or is it theoretical. I also think it is bad configuration as two identical devices should generally RX/TX the...

Its the video. The boring plain white background and well planned camera work make it seem like just another instructional video put out by some boring company to sell products. Also on that note, many...

Growing up, I remember many of these “futurisms.” But I was looking at ten- and twenty-year-old magazines. I was living in that future, and those things didn’t exist. So early on I became jaded.As I...

Along the “dozen new products a week” lines, here’s something for the readers to ruminate upon:I’m one of three active product development engineers (at the moment; we’re trying to bring it back up to...

@jakkjakk: To paraphrase Scoop Nisker – That’s the Friday new product news and if you don’t like it, go out and make some of your own.

I really love PSoC but I would definitely pay a little bit more for the PSoC 1 evaluation kit before anything third party like this. Or maybe 10 bucks less for the PSoC 4 kit which I have been trying...

Would there be a chance of getting a side photo with the vertical dimensions? I’m building a panning camera controller to add motion to a Dropcam, it would be nice to know the vertical dimensions so I...

Most would think geek is an insult but it can be taken as a compliment too. I’m not afraid to admit I’m a geek.

I don’t care what the video is as long as it involves electronics and Rob. :)

Can this power a beaglebone over the USB port? The bb has a wifi adapter on it which requires a 1A power supply to BB. Will it take it over the USB port or would I need a USB to barrel jack connector...

Any OS on a pi has to work on the older ARM v6 architecture, witch most like Ubuntu don’t. Also a big fancy OS like OS X would be very very slow due to the low clock speed (700MHz) and low amount of...

your little warning that it was a demo video isn’t so helpful for those of us who just skip to the video. (but it’s okay, i forgive you)

There’s some confusion below and in the product images as to what the ACTUAL footprint of this part is. I’ve just ordered a few for a project (6/21/13) and here are my notes: 1) the datasheet linked...

I think there might be a problem with the SIK for Circuit #13. The table and schematic (breadboard diagram?) do not match for the diode and the resistors. Plus the relay in my kit is not long enough to...

My two cents worth:I did a multi-point calibration, with focus around 0.08BAC (for obvious reasons). With a 4.7k resistor (found it gave a good range) I found the following to be pretty accurate: BAC =...

I am sooo new to this that I really don’t have a clue about these. Are you saying that I would not need an Arduino to communicate with the MP3 Shield? Just a shift in break out? I am sorry if this...
