1. Introduction For years always wanted to build something that harvests energy but I could never quite manage to actually start the projects off. I like the idea of recycling waste heat in air conditioning or waste water to extract old heat energy but have never had the confidence to re-plumb the house. I did once make a very large and heavy aluminium plate heat exchanger that could pull the energy from waste heat exhausted from a house (e.g. the bathroom) and would warm ...

Just a quick update that might help other BB-AI experimenters. I managed to get the TIDL software to identify the cat example iBox: #2 Setting up the BB-AI so I decided to try and identify a moth: I pulled it into the BB_AI using wget command and placed it in the same place where the cat jpeg file was located. Although TIDL imagenet ran on this file it wasn't able to read it, although the test was finished with a PASSED, which was a bit strange. I tried renaming my file from Moth1,jpg to M ...

Wow, I'm still overwhelmed that my R2B4 robot won the runner up prize in the Sixth Sense Design Challenge . I was quickly contacted by danzima to tell me that my prize was being shipped.....and yesterday this box was delivered by UPS. Up until then I had never used a 3D printer let alone owned my own one. About two years ago I started trying to make my own following along the lines of a Prusa i3 but without access to a 3D printer to make the joints I found myself using pieces of metal, wood a ...

This is a quick blog post about using my NooElec SDR for the first time. Back last year I was luckily chosen to roadtest three Molex Antennas Molex 2.4GHz / 5GHz Antenna Kit - Review and that re-kindled my interest in RF work at home. Wanted to have a 'play around' I bought myself a low-cost SDR for fun and it arrived today. It cost me just over £20 (UK) and plugs into the USB port of my computer plus it has a SMA connector for the antenna. I actually made a misjudgment and bo ...
