I bought an original Thinkpad X1 at the start of the year and after using it since then I have to say the biggest problem it has is the battery. It's more like a large capacitor th…

I'm also from Australia and I could list at least a dozen places I would buy an Arduino from, before using your website that's less than a month old, and provides no contact detail…

From the retrieval times they are giving, it seems plausible that they could be only booting the servers 5 or 6 times a day, to run the upload and retrieval jobs stored in a buffer…

I completely agree, this kind of presentation is so great to see! This is one of the hard problems open source hardware has at the moment. The community is just now realising its e…

I find how this is now all playing out to be quite interesting, and a little amusing: A few years back when there was really only one prominent open source UAV system (Paparazzi), …

Chris would be talking about the new MPU9150 from Invensense: http://www.invensense.com/mems/gyro/mpu9150.html Pricing isn't public yet but you can get an idea by looking at the 6-…

As someone pointed out in the comments these processors require DDR3 memory, which is only available (currently) in BGA packages. This means you can't quite use a soldering iron to…

From one of my Linode 512's in Fremont I get 89.0MB/s running the "test" in this blog post.

Many open source projects tend to have awful or non-existent logos/branding, with websites that look like they were designed by us programmers, because they often are. I've read a …

Sent you an email, maybe I can help you out :)

ST has a very nice "Standard Peripheries Library" for their STM32 ARM Cortex M3 line which abstracts all the bit and register manipulation away in a very elegant manner. Atmel has …

The reason it doesn't get used for serious or complex projects is simply because of it's lack of capabilities. The big one is debugging and this is a huge reason for why you won't …

It's a huge shame that none of the existing ARM Cortex M3 Arduino-like platforms (Maple, Corduino etc.) ever took off. While this is mostly likely because of the projects not being…

It depends what you mean by industry. No reasonably qualified electronic engineer would use the Arduino platform in a commercial design. Most managers would laugh at any EE who sug…
