If you go to their cloud service page ( https://cloud.internalpositioning.com/ ), it's trivially easy to get live location data for strangers by guessing names.

Their only distribution center, at that! They ship everything out of the Thief River Falls warehouse. They also run a great tour, if you're ever in the area. Fun fact, they can take just about any combination of the 1million+ SKUs they

Eh, depends on where you're coming from. These clearly aren't "production grade." Maybe not even "academically curious grade." Until you can at least get budgetary pricing without sending someone an email, it p

Processing power is only one part of the equation, though. These Cortex processors are significantly more constrained in RAM and storage than computers of 1995. Run Python on a 100MHz Pentium with 192 KiB of RAM, I'll be impressed.

That works once you've reached a certain level of understanding. Most AAA games have really good translations. The trick is "comprehensible input." If you can provide a learner with input that is just a little beyond their le

Although the Dragon is reusable, SpaceX's contract with NASA stipulates that new capsules be used for each resupply mission. Not sure if the contract allows SpaceX to refurbish the capsules for other commercial missions, but the other

They were using Lua, but found some of the features of the language to be non-condusive to microcontroller use. If you want something similar that can be programmed bare-metal, check out the spark core: https://www.spark.io/

Nope, I don't see these being sold in Radio Shack. The world of electronics distribution reaches way beyond Radio Shack. I mean: Before the Raspberry Pi, there were Linux-capable ARM Dev Boards, but the vast majority of them were niche

I'll be interested to see how this progresses. With any luck, it'll open up a market of cheap, well-distributed SOMs, similar to the Pi opening up a market for cheap, well-distributed ARM/Linux Dev Boards. The situation'

Have they ever flown a quadcopter before? If not, I strongly suggest they start with something cheap like the Syma X1 ($35 on Amazon). It's an amazing value, and incredibly fun to fly. Very forgiving, and mildly hackable. The biggest

The "any new project" generality is getting closer to an absolute truth every day. Many Cortex chips use much less power than an AtMega or AtTiny in sleep modes, and use very little power in active modes. All are fast enough t
