Weaker and cheaper perhaps, but it is also using less power (1500 mW instead of 3500 mW) so it is a better option when the additional RAM, USB and Ethernet is not necessary.

This is prob a noobish question but… If I wanted to lower the amount of heat this thing puts off, could I lower the input voltage with a voltage divider? And is this a smart idea? -Thanks in advance!

Tag Connect is a much more compact solution IMHO, and they come in JTAG flavors too. We’ve been using them for a few years now, and they work great. Maybe SFE should consider carrying them…...

Yes and no. You would be lowering the heat the regulator gives off, but now you’re adding heat being radiated out by the resistor(s) even less efficiently. A series resistor (depending on application,...

Actually, CTS must be pulled low, or else the chip can stop transmitting, as per the hardware flow control. So the connection diagram looks to me more like this: FTDI Basic | Arduino DTR ----------...

Can these read serial data, for example, from an ID-12 RFID reader?

Excellent little sensor. I agree that it operates better at 9V. A 10K pullup resistor has been working fine.

If you’re using conductive thread instead of soldering wires, how do you connect the thread to the stripped wires on the speakers? Any suggestions/tips much appreciated!

Like my watch that “recharges itself” from the motion of my arm?Yes, why isn’t this more widely used? Especially in cellphones!?

Hi,I have a quick question. Can the sensor track occluded objects? I believe not since the video tells about IR technology. However I would like to be sure about that.Thanks,
