802.11b\/g wireless networks.\u00a0 It utilizes a common chip, the RN171 Wi-Fi module, to provide the serial Ethernet communications, and you only need two pins off of your Arduino\/Seeeduino for this to work.\u00a0 It comes with its own antenna which allows for a larger range of coverage and a stronger signal. \u00a0For beginners who have no experience with Wi-Fi modules, we\u2019ve prepared a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.seeedstudio.com\/blog\/?s=wifi+shield\">WiFi \u00a0Shield Overview<\/a> that provides tips on hardware connections, basic coding, and application.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:

going out with friends and having a few drinks?\u00a0 Curious about how much it has affected you?\u00a0 Then you need the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.seeedstudio.com\/depot\/droidalyzer-portable-android-development-kit-ioio-alcohol-detector-accessory-for-android-p-1221.html?cPath=138\">Droidalyzer<\/a>, an alcohol detector accessory for Android phones.\u00a0 This easy to use portable device delivers a relative reading of alcohol in your breath via your phone through the use of clever, humorous characters.\u00a0 Simply pair the Droidalyzer with your Android phone, breathe into the alcohol sensor (no mouth piece required), and get ready for the results.\u00a0 If you need a cab, it will assist you in calling one, or simply post your results via Facebook or Twitter.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.seeedstudio.com\/depot\/droidalyzer-portable-android-development-kit-ioio-alcohol-detector-accessory-for-android-p-1221.html?cPath=138\">the Droidalyzer<\/a> also doubles as a portable Android hardware development kit.\u00a0 Based on the open source IOIO platform, it is a bridge between Android devices and external hardware, such as sensors and servos.\u00a0 It offers plug and play support for USB and Bluetooth without additional coding for connectivity, 46 total I\/O pins, and an on-board LiPO charger circuit.<\/p>\n<p>Dangerous Prototypes, the group dedicated to releasing a new open source hardware project every month, has two new tools out this month:\u00a0 the <a

Breakout Board Bench Power Supply allows you to harness the power of old (or new) ATX computer power supplies to power your current projects.\u00a0 It can provide -12, 3, 3.3, 5, and 12 V at 1.25 amps, covering many common electronic needs.\u00a0 It also includes a protective fuse and indicator light for each voltage and an on-board on\/off button and control circuit.<\/p>\n<p

building blocks that allow you create words, numbers, or unique patterns in 3 inch, 5 inch, or 8 inch form factors.\u00a0 At the time they were only offered in a warm red.\u00a0 Now we offer them in classic green too.\u00a0 So get cracking and create a new project with multiple colors or spice up your existing messages or creations with a touch of green.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s all for now.\u00a0
