Rave shades: The self assemble LED glasses kit These Rave Shade – LED Glasses look like a ton of fun. They are Arduino based and use 74HC595 shift registers to light all the LEDs. At first I though it was a silly design since with a PCB sitting on your face you would not be […]

3D Model: Bus Pirate and breadboard holder
Today’s model is a Bus Pirate and breadboard holder we designed for a kit we are prototyping. The holder board was designed in Sketchup and the design SVG files were sent for laser cutting. Free PCB to the first one to guess what IC is in the breadboard. Check out our tutorial on how to […]
ATpirate adapter kit
Eric from allthingsgeek.com writes: My friend and I work with a lot of different AVR microcontrollers. We love using the bus pirate to program them but find it inconvenient to setup a breadboard and look-up the datasheet for each one. We designed a ZIF socketed kit to make the process much easier and decided to […]
Free PCB Sunday: through-hole Infrared Toy
We go through a lot of prototype PCBs, and end up with lots of extras that we’ll never use. Every Sunday we give away a few professionally-made PCBs from one of our past or future projects, or a related prototype. Our PCBs are made through Seeed Studio’s Fusion board service. An all through-hole version of […]
Prototype: Flash_Destroyer
The most recent documentation is now on the wiki EEPROMs, such as flash memory, store data in electronic devices like cell phones, smart cards, SD cards, and solid-state drives. This type of memory can only endure a limited number of writes, it will eventually wear out and it won’t store new data. The Flash Destroyer […]
Web platform: kit vs assembled
The web platform, December’s project of the month, is our second to be offered as a kit or as assembled hardware. We guessed that the kit would be the most popular option, but we were totally wrong. Seeed Studio’s latest report shows the assembled version is preferred almost 3 to 1. Is it the SSOP […]
Fundamental Logic Bus Pirate build
Matthew Neely documents his experience building the through-hole Bus Pirate kit from Fundimental Logic. Unfortunately, the through-hole kit is out of stock. An assembled Bus Pirate v3 is available for $30 at Seeed Studio, including worldwide shipping.
