What suprises me is the short lifespan of the product to the public before killing it. While some of us may have had Wave invites for a while, it has been only been open to the public for less then 3 months.

Ladyada's guide ( http://www.ladyada.net/learn/arduino/ ) has all of the basics to get you started with the physical parts of hooking up your Arduino. I've glanced at "Lessons in Electric Circuits" ( http://www.ibiblio.org/kuphaldt/electric

Extremely aggressive price for the microprocessor, but there are large hidden software costs. Their proprietary IDE is listed at $445 ( http://focus.ti.com/docs/toolsw/folders/print/ccstudio.html )

One of the largest hurdles I see for this technology is raising enough investment capital to build a new fab, or recondition an old fab, for this custom integration of silicon and plastic. Currently Solar cell companies are able to leverage

If you wanted to map asynchronous designs to an ordinary FPGA, I think there would be two major hurdles: 1) Choosing an asynchronous methodology (There are more then one), and mapping that to the LUT. This shouldn't be too difficult, but yo

There is definitely a very bound on the time that it could take, but one of the advantages of asynchronous is that you can design for the average case, not the worst case. Each circuit forms part of a data pipeline, and with enough data i

I worked at Achronix Semiconductor (San Jose startup) for over a year and a half designing Asynchronous Circuits. I can answer any questions about the specifics of designing these circuits. Anyone interested in this topic should definitely

I had the great pleasure of visiting the Walker library last year. Not only is the library packed inch to inch with incredible artifacts as Wired describes, but it is truly his own as well, with items that have been great personal inspirati

This is equivalent to hiring an outsourcing firm to teach you how to program. Most of these trainers will not teach you the necessary fundamentals, provide a harmful crutch, and for all of this charge money for readily available, quality in
