Kurt Schulz of Cincinnati, OH, wrote in with with his Scooterputer project, which uses a Duemilanove Arduino, a custom "sensor shield" and a Liquidware touchscreen OLED display to add functionality to his whip: • Battery voltage indicator • Time and date • Temperature • Lean gauge with resettable max L-R indicators • Current… read more

Flexible Arduino is flexible

The folks over at Seeed Studio have been experimenting with building an Arduino-compatible board on flexible printed circuit (FPC) material. Flexible circuit boards are similar to regular circuit boards in that they consist of layers of copper that have an insulator stuck between them. The difference is that the… read more
