  1. Why are HP scanners always such a pain in the ass to get working? Can anyone recommend a brand that actually works?
  2. @kellbot Google Code?
  3. The Copenhagen I remember from last November: http://yfrog.com/4ffmlj
  4. @kotobuki thanks. Have any good ideas about opportunities / solutions? I'm going to need a thesis topic eventually. :)
  5. Some thoughts on electronic prototyping in interaction design that I submitted to TEI: http://bit.ly/A3KLJ
  6. Is there a good web-based replacement for IRC (e.g. If we wanted to host an Arduino channel)? If not, someone should make one.
  7. @adafruit glad you like it. Thanks for the updated LiquidCrystal library. What do I need to do to get you to download 0018 quicker?
  8. Milling on a Sunday afternoon.
  9. Debugging tip no. 473: read the error message! It might be confusing, but it probably contains useful information.
  10. @liquidware what happened to your Java app? Arduino has mostly kept working, with ocassional hiccups.
  11. @kellbot one of the people in my group at the Media Lab was just talking about making one of those.
  12. Anyone know a good place to buy short (< 1 ft) USB and mini USB cables (non-retractable)?
  13. @nonlocal you have a job? Congratulations! Where are you working?
  14. @hoeken if you want a CAD program that generates shapes from code, you could also try cad.py: http://fab.cba.mit.edu/about/fab/
  15. Installed a Pascal compiler (fpc) to compile an AVR assembler (gavrasm) because avr-as doesn't seem to support Atmel's AVR assembler syntax.
  16. @haiyan more like a kid. Or, at least, that's how I felt—these guys know a lot about electronics.
  17. Went to my first Arduino users group meeting since moving back to Boston. The new W&B space is impressive (and cold!).
  18. Thinking about making a fab-able version of the USBtinyISP. (Should be much better than dasa programming.)
  19. Help ShopBot design their next machine (a desktop ShopBot): http://bit.ly/fynCH
  20. XBee latency problem solved by only transmitting when state changes, and checking for acknowledgement. Much faster now.
