In addition to the stuff from NKCelectronics I got in the mail yesterday, I also received a box from Mouser. It seems like Mouser and DigiKey both have similar things, but there are always parts that you can find at one and not the other, as was the case with the digital multimeter I wanted [...]

Not your usual PIR sensor – playing with ZDots
I made an order a while ago from DigiKey. I got some basic electronics prototyping stuff as well as a few sensors and LEDs t play around with. One of the more interesting things I picked up was a Ziglog ZDots PIR sensor (click to view datasheet). Now this is not the usual PIR sensor [...]
electronic Odyssey – Sidenote – designing embedded hardware
Last week it occurred to me that I was bothering Nick a bit too much for his knowledge of electronics. He has been pretty happy to assist me as I explore his realm of expertise, however I think i have a bit too many questions. I decided to find an alternate source of reference material and found O’Reilly’s [...]
Electronic Odyssey – pt.1.5 – First steps, and some info on driving 8×8 rgb matrixes
So after receiving my arduino last week from Seeed studio, I have been itching to give it a roll. Unfortunately, as I mentioned before, I stupidly forgot to pick up a breadboard so I have been pretty limited to what I can do. That has not stopped me from hooking up a single LED and my giant [...]
Electronic Odyssey – pt.1
This one falls on the HARD side of hardware… Inspired by my good friend Nick, who does EE and works at the product design / idea house TwisThink, I decided to jump into the world of physical computing via Arduino. I apparanty know a thing or two about software, so I thought I would mix [...]
