We loved Arduino Nano’s but always wanted a bit more performance and memory. So we decided to create a Arduino Nano compatible board but with an upgrade micro-controller that is similar to an Arduino Zero. They are now ready and shipping from our online store : Protoneer Online Store http://wiki.protoneer.co.nz/NANO-ARM Nano-ARM forum page
I am “quietly” enjoying the future of automobiles. Serious I love the sound the next generation of speeding cars are making…. The NextEV Nio EP9 is a stunning example of where we are heading. +1300HP from zero RPM. 0-200KM/h in under 8 seconds!!! It started with Formula E and they have now moved into the … Read More →

I’ve had quite a few people ask why I am not selling my µCurrent through international distributors like I did last time. Well, that’s a good question, and I’ll answer that as well as breaking down the economics of selling your own hardware product, what price you should sell your product at, and the pros & cons … Read More →
A few months ago while designing the Arduino CNC Shield I bumped into a guy that was also going through the process of building a CNC machine. Between us we had some good brain storms and ended up with the current version of the CNC Shield. He has been keeping himself busy with a few interesting … Read More →
This Raspberry Pi cnc machine with see-through LCD screen is a very interesting idea… 🙂
This blog post is a collection of useful commands that can be used with Raspberry Pi’s and other Debian based systems. I will update it with more useful commands as I find more.. 😉 Download a file from the internet sudo wget URL_OF_FILE_TO_DOWNLOAD Unzipping Zip Files unzip ZIP_FILENAME Shut Down sudo shutdown -h now SSH … Read More →
Introduction into RS-485 and CAN Bus After playing with micro controllers for a bit it gets clear that at some stage you want to control things at a distance. Doing this can very quickly get complicated and expensive. For the particular projects I wanted to control wireless was not an option as it was too … Read More →
I recently started moving from Arduino/Atmel 8-Bit processors to NXP/ARM 32-bit processors. It’s been a huge learning curve but it opens lots of doors for bigger and better projects. The first set of Micro Controllers I targeted was NXP’s LPC11U14 and LPC4337. These processors run much faster the Arduino’s and they work great for multi-tasked … Read More →
