            • Tech News Today 1593: Dongle in the Box

              The big story today was the new iPhone. It's officially called the iPhone 7, and of course there's a larger version called the iPhone 7 Plus. Everyone's talking about the loss of the headphone jack and the fancy new camera. Apple has decided to go the non-traditional route by removing the jack entirely in a move Apple Senior VP Phil Schiller called "courageous." The camera is the real reason that Apple thinks you'll forget that there's no headphone jack. As we surmised, the new iPhone has a dual camera set-up. Now, both versions have image stabilization (before it was just the Plus), both will have a wider lens to let in more light, true tone flash, and an image signal processor. And for your selfies, there's a 7 megapixel FaceTime HD camera. If you're willing to shell out for the iPhone 7 plus, you'll get two cameras with two lenses, 2x optical zoom, and 10x digital zoom. While Apple was soaking up all the attention at its event, Sony fired off its own PlayStation focused event. Also, Dell and EMC form a merger bromance.

                • Know How... 242: AquaVase, Part 2

                  We finish part II of our hydroponic vase using LEDs and a 3D printed stand.

                  Project Overview

                  We're adding decorative LED lights to our AquaVase Parts List

                  These parts aren't necessary for the operation of HydroVase, but they ARE cool and geeky! :)

                • WS2812 SMD Strips
                • Arduino
                • Voltage Regulator
                • 26-30 AWG Silicone Wire
                • Heat Shrink Tubing

                  • Tools List

                • 3D Printer
                • Soldering Kit

                  Segment Summary

                  We're designing a 3D object that can hold our 5" Vase and the electronics to illuminate the bottom.

                  Interesting Design Features of the AquaVase_Base
                • The bottom panel is 2MM thick and the shell is between 2-3mm
                • The stands for the aluminum square tubes are 2-3mm thick and are supported by the bottom panel & their connection to the lower vase ring
                • There are curved buildouts on either side of the lower vase ring that will hold the WS2812 LEDs
                • There is a port towards the read of the base for providing power to the Arduino and WS2812s

                  • Shell_A

                • Import a1_Hollow_BottomShell.stl
                • Use the "Inspector" to turn the a1 into a "Hole"
