This is my first version of a PCB for building a Vectrex cartridge. I used this for my Kickstarter project for the Bloxorz game. The PCB was manufactured by @oshpark , you can order your board here.
It fits in this 3D printed case from Thingiverse (you can order it here in my Shapeways shop), or in one of the nice new injection molded cartridge shells from Sean Kelly
Frank has launched a Kickstarter campaign:
A puzzle game for the Vectrex, including a version with Vectrex graphics for PC, Mac, iOS and Android

shows how to create a DIY Robocar forked off of the “Donkey” Self-Driving car platform using the OpenMV Cam
The OpenMV Cam Donkey Car is designed to be easy to build out of parts that you can buy online and assemble together with basic tools. Below is the list of essential parts you’ll need to build the self-driving car.
Here is the car in action:

Chip McClelland designed this Particle Electron carrier board to enhance the reliability and capabilities his outdoor IoT project:
Particle Electron Carrier for Outdoor IoT Applications
I have been building IoT sensors for outdoor use for a few years now. Most of my focus has been on helping local parks better count and report the cars, bikers, joggers and hikers which use their facilities each day. By giving them an accurate and automatic way to measure park utilization, They can save significant labor costs, get a more complete count and facilitate reporting. My hope is that this work will show how important our parks are and help preserve and even expand funding for these vital community resources.
Longer term, I also want to collect environmental and health data with these devices and I realized that a general purpose enhancement to the Particle Electron would be useful in all manner of applications that I – or the community – might dream up. This project, developed in collaboration with the Particle community (see Team link) is open source and available to anyone who can wants to deploy IoT devices where there is no WiFi or utility power.
These carriers have proved to be very reliable and have survived 6 months so far in the North Carolina Summer. I have started working on a Solar Implementation and have some ideas for future improvement. Please let me know if this is helpful and if you have any comments or suggestions that could help improve the carrier.

Early this year, the world of electronics saw something amazing. The RISC-V, the first Open Source microcontroller was implemented in silicon, and we got an Arduino-derived dev board in the form of the HiFive 1. The HiFive 1 is just a bit shy of mindblowing; it’s a very fast microcontroller that’s right up there with…

From Raphael Chang:
As part of the fully custom electric longboard I am building, I designed a battery management system (BMS) for a 12 cell lithium ion battery pack. The BMS, named “Battman”, is meant to monitor both Lithium Polymer cells (LiPo) and Lithium Iron Phosphate cells (LiFePo4), and it can protect the batteries against undervoltage, overvoltage, overcurrent, and overtemperature.
It also has an integrated charging circuit that can perform constant current/constant voltage charging of the cells up to 6A, while performing balancing of the cells at 100mA. In addition, it functions as the main power switch of the longboard system, and includes a precharge circuit to limit inrush currents. Finally, the BMS does current measurements for coulomb counting, and performs state-of-charge calculations.
The project is shared in these GitHub repos:

After using the Microchip tools to program and debug the projects I work on, I wondered about creating my own programming/debugging module that I could put on my own boards – just like Microchip does with their starter kits and such.
I decided to use the open-source EDA program Kicad to design a 4 layer SMD project. I had only used it for 2 layer PTH designs previously, but wanted to see how it would do in something a little more complex than the ones I had already done. Here is a link to the completed Kicad project files
