  • A new open source radio project (FaradayRF) has Chris wondering if there are possible.
  • Dave is back to working on his Supercomputer idea (with BOINC).
  • A new board might use a Microchip SPI -> Ethernet part, the ENC28J60
  • NextThingCo (makers of the CHiP) announced the ChipPro and the GR8 SOM.
  • They include a non-NDA datasheet for the AllWinner R8.
  • Chris got to see the Chipsetter up close and personal at MFNY. 
  • The Open Hardware Summit went ok! Interesting discussions about the new license.
  • The "Got Milk" campaign was used as PR for drinking more milk
  • Taking 11 hours to get a Wifi kettle working

  • Randall from XKCD discusses design decisions
  • Solar roadways installs are a disaster
  • You can watch MegaBots discuss their design decisions.
  • 3D Robotics seems to be in trouble. It seems like they are pivoting to a "software only" model. We had Chris Anderson on the show back in 2012. Contrast this with bootstrapping a business like MailChimp.
