Christmas Tree - CircuitStew

The true Christmas Spirit is in giving, You can only give if you have something, right. You can Have when you Acquire Skills, Imagination and a Cheerful Attitude.This will help you Create Things! 

Develop a Skill this Christmas, Build these small LED Trees and give it to people who need a little bit of cheering up.

Christmas Tree - CircuitStew



"This was the first and last complete prototype that I made on proto board. This style of prototyping produces circuits that are very difficult to understand, debug, and modify. Because of all the extra work involved they also take forever to assemble. Suddenly I became very interested in designing and fabricating custom pcbs...."

The name CircuitStew refers both to the jumble of electronics presented here and to circuit boards suspended in neon green copper etching solution. -  Derek Wolfe

Open source Wireless sensor platform - Waspmote

Waspmote may have two radios at the same time connected when using the Expansion Radio Board allowing the creation of bridges among different networks such as ZigBee and Wifi, Wifi and 3G/GPRS, RFID and Bluetooth, etc.

Raspberry Pi to Arduino shields connection bridge

"The idea behind the Raspberry Pi to Arduino shields connection bridge is to allow to use any of the shields, boards and modules designed for Arduino in Raspberry Pi. It includes also the possibility of connecting digital and analog sensors, using the same pinout of Arduino but with the power and capabilities of Raspberry."

Cooking Hacks - Tasty Electronics for the Arduino and Raspberry Pi Community.

The have a wide range of electronic products and kits including Arduino, ZigBee, GPRS, Sensors, Servos, Leds, LCDs etc.

Raspberry Pi Add Ons from Gordons Projects

Here you will find some Raspberry Pi: projects and ideas.DRC or Drogon Remote Control. This is mechanism to allow a device like Arduino connected via serial line to be controlled from a host system.

You will also find a RTOS called DROSS -  The Drogon Real-time Operating System here.

"The Raspberry Ladder is a small kit comprising PCB with LEDs, resistors and switches intended to be used to experiment with the Raspberry Pi’s GPIO functions and hopefully to get people interested in soldering up their own projects. Soldering is not difficult and it’s a good skill to learn if you are keen to learn more about electronics. (or repairing jewelry!)"
