It was a really fun weekend at Maker Faire Bay Area 2012 in San Mateo, California.\u00a0 Lots of folks came out to show off their mad Maker skills, to watch the Tesla Coils in action, to have fun with the family, and\/or to participate in Angry Battleships.\u00a0 The weather was perfect and the weekend was topped off with that amazing annular eclipse.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Unfortunately some of us didn\u2019t get to go, like my colleague DD.\u00a0 However, she didn\u2019t let that stop her from embracing the Maker spirit.\u00a0 She created this fabulous model ablove using wooden sticks, super light clay, EL wire, and a Grove starter kit for the electronic parts, illustrating that Making is about projects that come from the heart and bring a smile to our face.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

If you want to add a little light to your project like DD, we have EL wire<\/a>, EL tape, and our new EL panel.\u00a0 EL tape is similar to EL wire but wider and a little shorter.\u00a0 Just like EL wire, it comes in Red<\/a>, Green<\/a>, Blue<\/a>, White<\/a> and Yellow<\/a>.\u00a0 Although, it is possible to run the EL tape using an EL 2xAA Pocket Inverter<\/a> it\u2019s best to use an EL USB Inverter<\/a> for a stronger glow.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

If you want to go for a bigger effect, buy an EL panel<\/a> or two.\u00a0 They come in a 10 cm square format, and they are just as flexible as their counterparts.\u00a0 An added bonus is that they come in light blue<\/a> if you want to deviate from the standard color choices.\u00a0\u00a0 Keep in mind that you\u2019ll want to pair them with an EL USB Inverter<\/a> to maximize your brightness.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We have added a new item to our Grove family, the Grove \u2013 LED bar<\/a>.\u00a0 The LED bar is made up of a 10 segment LED gauge bar and an MY9221 LED controlling chip.\u00a0 It is a great fit for output results that require a gradient representation, such as temperature or volume.\u00a0 Each segment can be controlled individually by code or utilize our demo code to get you on your feet.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re traveling to Europe you can\u2019t leave home without our Universal AC European Power Adapter<\/a>.\u00a0 Its multiuse face allows you to adapt all plug types to the European format.\u00a0 It\u2019s small, lightweight and easily fits in your briefcase, purse, or even your pocket.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Ever wanted to create your own digital display?\u00a0 Now you can with our 7 Segment Display<\/a> digital building blocks.\u00a0 Create words, numbers, or unique patterns in 3 inch, 5 inch, or 8 inch form factors with a warm red glow.\u00a0 This product is sold in units and comes with 3 horizontal segments and 4 vertical segments, enough to assemble the number 8.\u00a0 Buy more to create messages, the time, or your own special creation.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

Last but not least we have our \u00a0 CUI32Stem Grove Dash Kit<\/a>.\u00a0 This kit is the brainchild of CUI32Stem designers Daniel Overholt and Markus Gritsch who wanted to provide a convenient and affordable bundle to maximize the learning experience.\u00a0 It comes with a Create USB Interface based mainboard and an array of Grove sensors.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s all for now.\u00a0 Until next time, keep on making.<\/p>\n
