Make a simple windpower system with soda bottles
Interesting build where the author uses the tops of soda bottles (with caps) to make a simple windpower system. My 2 cents, this maybe a better solution to measure wind that get power from it. Either way it could be … Continue reading

Make you own Roku private channel
This is cool. I can see doing this to access my own private library remotely. One of the issues I have with Roku. Well the older ones that I have, is I cannot access a fileshare with my own videos … Continue reading
A different take on using a PC PSU
I like this, the author used a PC power supply to supply voltage to standard DC connectors like car based and USB. I have my own converted power supply to posts, but I like this as well and would be … Continue reading
More Articles on Xerox’s 1st quarter
Mostly about how it was a miss, and how the technology (print) end is dwindling. One interesting bit was there seems to be a disappointment by analysts that the services end did not do better (around 5% increase). It sounds … Continue reading

Arduino Uno vs RPi vs Beaglebone
Nice article comparing the three boards, I was a little disappointed that didn’t include TI’s MSP which would be comparable to Arduino in A/D and is very cheap. Actually I have never really looked at beaglebone since they are $99 … Continue reading

Xerox 1st quarter results
Not good, but not horrible, basically 2 cents lower than expected per share. BUT…if I read this correctly, there is 35 million in restructuring for 2nd quarter and it sounds like its going to be in the technology end. http://www.democratandchronicle.com/article/20130423/BUSINESS/304230027/xerox-earnings … Continue reading

Bluetooth controlled stepper motor
Took me several reads to get what the author is doing. Basically the author uses an atiny (arduino) to control a steppermotor. The atiny gets its input via a serial connection to a bluetooth module. Once I figured this out, … Continue reading

Print and build your own modular robot
Interesting design where you can download the design and print out the parts, toss in the electronics and have a modular start for a robot. http://3dprintingindustry.com/2013/04/19/barobos-mobot-a-a-modular-robot-constructed-of-3d-printed-parts

Horace Becker, Xerox Engineer passed away
He was the “guy” that basically drove the 914 copier development (first real copier). http://www.democratandchronicle.com/article/20130422/NEWS01/304220069/Horace-Becker-midwife-Xerox-914-dead-age-89

Homemade Stepper Motor
Not that I would make this…well maybe for kids, but this is cool how someone printed out and then built a stepper motor. http://hackedgadgets.com/2013/04/22/3d-printed-stepper-motor/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+HackedGadgets+%28Hacked+Gadgets%29
