The USB7 expands most computers with a USB connected 6-digit
seven-segment display. Supporting letters, numbers, and a range of
punctuation, the USB7 benefits any project requiring highly visible
information.
Using common a USB cable for both communication and power, the USB7
requires no special or bulky cables and with a simple virtual-serial
port protocol, sending regular ASCII characters is all that’s required
to control the USB7s full output capacity.
Based on the AVR-CDC project, the USB7 is supported by Windows XP,
Windows 2000, OS X, and many Linux variants.

This is an electronics kit suitable for beginners but it DOES require some soldering. With very few parts you can build a tiny solar powered theremin enclosed in an ALTOIDS or like mint tin (NOT INCLUDED). So when the oil runs out, the ice caps melt and civilization crumbles to dust, thanks to the Heliophone, we will still have electronic music :-) By ClockworkRobot.

Add Ethernet! Want your Arduino to check email? How about sending a twitter (which can then be easily forwarded to a phone via SMS)? Or grabbing data from a website? There are so many possibilites for projects that connect to the Internet to get data, now there's an easy way to do it with an Arduino. This shield kit allows you to add and use an XPort or XPort direct(+) Ethernet module (not included) using any 4 pins. All of the TCP/IP stack awfulness is done for you in the module so its super easy to just connect to any server.

Herbie the Mousebot is a very quick, easy-to-build, light-chasing robot kit, perfect for beginners. When finished, these little robots are so quick, you have to run to keep up to them; we found that out the hard way when one got loose in the warehouse!

From the creators of Make & Craft Magazine comes the Maker's Notebook. Put your own ideas, diagrams, calculations & notes down in these 150 pages of engineering graph paper. We've also included 20 bonus pages of reference material, from useful stuff like electronics symbols, resistor codes, weights and measures, basic conversions and more...
|
As seen in Make Magazine. Part comic strip and part science experiment, Howtoons shows children how to find imaginative new uses for common household items like soda bottles, duct tape, mop buckets, and more–to teach kids the "Tools of Mass Construction"!
Howtoons are cartoons that teach 8– to 15–year–old readers "how to" build, create, and explore things. Combining a fun, full–color cartoon format and real life science and engineering principles, Howtoons are designed to encourage kids to become active participants in the world around them.

Fashioning Technology
|
|
Our Price: $29.99

|

Ready to take your craft projects to the next level? With "smart" materials, unorthodox assembly techniques, and the right tools, you can create accessories, housewares, and toys that light up, make sounds, or do even more. Fashioning Technology offers jargon-free primers and lots of how-to projects that will have you making -- and even wearing -- functional works of art.
This book demonstrates how to blend
sewing and assembly techniques with traditional electronics to assemble
simple circuits using conductive thread, solder joints for snaps, and
switches for buttons. With the sewing machine as a viable substitute
for the soldering iron, you can craft a new generation of objects that
are interactive, quirky, and fashion-conscious.
