Some microcontrollers I've been working with, that had USB capability also supported DFU- flashing new firmware via USB. I have also resurrected a write-broken flash drive, by re-flashing it's firmware (a tool for which was provid

The tools for this are already here. Check out OpenSCAD. It's a parametric 3D modeling tool, which lets you create 3D models using code (loops, variables, math functions are available). It can export projections of your models in DXF t

When the goal has been hit, users are more likely to back the project than when the goal was not hit. I think Formlabs founders also explained this in their post-Kickstarter interviews- they intentionally set initial goal below what they ac

My own content, mostly fixing blocks for other devices I'm building (e.g. http://wiki.hackerspace.lv/w/images/6/69/Expon_1.jpg ). In my opinion, current generation 3d printers have to be looked at as tools, not a holy saviour of manufactu

I think the EE part is pretty much covered on the net. As a software engineer I was able to create a prototype of hardware product I wanted to build with minimal EE knowledge- by searching how to implement specific subsystems in hardware- e

According to display controller's datasheet[1], it does support analog (RGB) input too ;) Edit: well, reading the datasheet a bit more, the RGB interface is somewhat digital. But fiddling with timing is still there ;) [1]: http://www.adafr

In addition to reading a book on basic EE, buy an AVR-based Arduino. From a perspective of professional EE/embedded developer Arduino may seem limited, but there is loads of information on "how to connect X to Arduino". If you are specially

The way it's written almost makes me believe that kernel modules are that easy to write.

Any thoughts on pricing yet?

Taking on new customers when existing ones are sufficient is risky for developers as well. I myself only take on new projects from customers I haven't been working previously only under three circumstances: 1) I'm running low on my reserves

It would be nice to see if there is not more gold "sold" to investors than there actually is.

The best they could do is ditch Thinkpad brand for their consumer grade machines (SL , R ). T and X series are Thinkpads. The rest- not so much. SL and R series "Thinkpads" are rubbish, imo. Not to mention the cheap Ideapad's- the build q

That's one of the reasons I don't like shopping offline- I hate the act of negotiation about price of something. I also don't like to negotiate on price when I'm selling something myself. If I'd be willing to sell it cheaper, I'd put a chea

A little exaggerated but not far from true. Not speaking of gifts specifically- I'm amazed by the amount of junk toys and useless gadgets coming from China. I actually don't know what amazes me more- that someone thought: "Hey, it's a great

It seems to me that someone was scanning their network for specific services- probably, some DBMS. Printer received the initial communications packet(s) and happily printed whatever was received.
