This particular table has been all over the internet for years, but I had never found any details on the mechanics that make it work. This video provides some details about the parts that allow all the table segments to move fluidly from the small to the large shape and Read more
Krzysztof Foltman writes: “Another PCB sent to manufacturing. This time, it’s a universal 5x5cm protoboard. If you’re a beginner at electronics and want to try making a simple electronic circuit using standard through-the-hole components, it’s probably going to save you a lot of time. It’s compatible with DIL chips but also Read more
In the past few weeks, Stijn and Krzysztof have been playing with FPGA chips. Progress has been made! Stijn has created a servicable text-mode VGA setup: Eventually, a component like this will be used for quick debugging of FPGA internals and/or GUI’s for the upcoming FPGA-hosting Goldfish device. For now it Read more
After using our V1 prototyping boards for a while we decided to design some improved versions to make future experiments easier. This new board is focussed on mostly analog setups: It features a switchable supply between USB and external power and an area for SOIC MCU’s and CODECs. This board Read more
China is usually perceived as difficult by Europeans: communication is impossible, constant daily hassle, unyielding culture and far too many people. We are here to experience the truth of it. If there is any prejudice in particular you would like us to check out – let us know. Communication on Read more

blog written by Roman Buehler Yesterday I temporarily separated from my beloved TINRS-friends and went to Zhuhai, where I met my other lovely friend John Wang. I and my brother met him for the first time in our China Trip 2011, when we crisscrossed China on a different kind of Read more
A brief compilation of us on the Shenzhen Maker Faire – there are more videos with interviews and explanations to come but currently we are still very busy running around in China
The Maker Faire was surrounded by buildings of all shapes, heigths and sizes. We like this one especially because it looks like the towers have a reel of components running down their sides – on all sides. Such a fitting decorum for a Maker get-together.
