<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n A palm sized helicopter!\u00a0 Completely open-source and designed for development and hacking, the Crazyflie Nano Quadcopters<\/a> are among the smallest in the world.\u00a0 They weigh only 19 grams and measure 9cm from end to end.\u00a0 See it in action in this YouTube video<\/a>.<\/p>\n There are two kits, and they include everything you need to build this amazing gadget.\u00a0 The Crazyflie Nano Quadcopter 6-DOF<\/a> version uses a 3-axis accelerometer and a 3-axis gyro which enables it to auto-level while the Crazyflie Nano Quadcopter 10-DOF<\/a> version integrates extra sensors for altitude and heading measurement.\u00a0\u00a0 They both include a 2.4 GHz radio chip that enables the helicopter to receive commands from your computer and send data back to it.\u00a0\u00a0 Don\u2019t worry if you misplace something, we have spare parts on hand:\u00a0 the Crazyflie Nano Quadcopter – Spare battery<\/a>, the Crazyflie Nano Quadcopter – 4 x CW+CCW spare propellers<\/a>, and the Crazyflie Nano Quadcopter – 6×15 mm spare motor<\/a>.\u00a0 If you are having a hard time choosing between the two kits, keep in mind the 10-DOF version gives you the added challenge of developing algorithms for the altitude and heading sensors.\u00a0 Unfortunately, they aren\u2019t available for purchase now, but you can pre-order them from now until February, 18, 2013.\u00a0 We will be shipping them out on April 25, 2013.<\/p>\n The new version of our top-seller DSO Nano is here!\u00a0 The DSO Nano v3 <\/a>is a 32-bit ARM-M3 digital storage oscilloscope that is portable and lightweight.\u00a0 It comes with a 320 x 240 color display, an SD card, a USB port, and a rechargeable lithium battery.\u00a0 A lot of thought went into the v3, and there are 8 different enhancements included in this new version.\u00a0 We got rid of the plastic case on the v2 and replaced it with a more durable aluminum alloy shell.\u00a0 We also added a fixed battery connector, an extra button for quick adjustment, a charging circuit, a dedicated channel for signal generating, a unibody PCB design, and updated the software.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n We have two BLE products this week.\u00a0 The BLE-Shield based on Bluegiga\u2019s BLE112 Module<\/a> and the Bluetooth 4.0 Low Energy \u2013 BLE Mini<\/a>.\u00a0 The former one is a shield which easily stacks on standard size Arduinos, and the latter one is a small, space-saving form factor in high demand for users of Arduino Mini, Micro, Nano, Micro Plus, etc.\u00a0 Both are open source and support, not only, the latest iOS devices but include UART interfaces too.<\/p>\n The BLE-Shield based on Bluegiga\u2019s BLE112 Module<\/a> is a more user-friendly tool for beginners.\u00a0 It\u2019s based on Bluegiga\u2019s BLE112 Bluetooth 4.0 single mode compliant module, and it allows the Arduino to communicate, via Bluetooth, with iOS based devices without jailbreaking.\u00a0 Just connect the BLE-Shield to the Arduino, and you can start reading and writing data, no libraries required.<\/p>\n The Bluetooth 4.0 Low Energy \u2013 BLE Mini<\/a> is a great prototyping board for your BLE projects.\u00a0 It has an easy-to-use interface and it\u2019s a flexible device.\u00a0 The BLE Mini can play a central role or a peripheral role in your development process, and it can even operate without an external microcontroller courtesy of the SoC (System-on-chip).\u00a0 It works with all major development platforms, like Raspberry Pi, Netduino, Arduino, BeagleBone, etc.\u00a0 Plus, you can develop your own firmware using IAR Embedded Workbench or make your own iOS App using our open source SDK or iOS’s CoreBluetooth Framework.<\/p>\n New to the Grove family is the Grove \u2013 Solid State Relay<\/a>, a non-contact electronic switch module with relay features.\u00a0 It has an excellent low switching latency of \u226410ms, and it includes a radiator for greater stability.\u00a0 Safety is a high priority, so we\u2019ve built-in an acrylic base and an attractive 3D printed insulation shield.<\/p>\n The QFP surface mount protobard \u2013 0.80mm + 0.50mm<\/a> is a multi-purpose surface mount prototype board for chip development. \u00a0This is an improvement upon Dangerous Prototype\u2019s earlier 0.80mm version<\/a>.\u00a0 It includes an additional 0.50 mm pitch 32-80pin xQFP on the bottom side and a USB mini-B and micro-B with the micro-B located on the bottom, as well.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Last but not least we have our RF Mini RGB Controller<\/a>, a remote control for RGB LED strips.\u00a0 It allows you to change the mode, speed, color and brightness of either an RGB LED strip, like the RGB LED Flex-Strip – 60 LED-(1m)<\/a>, or a mono color LED strip.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 It comes pre-programmed with 19 modes and 20 static colors.\u00a0 It\u2019s a must have for any LED strip project.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Until next time, keep on making.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n (written by Erin
