A useless machine….
“If you can’t build a useless machine, how can you build a useful one ?”
– Stanford Mings
Automata
Automata theory is the study of abstract machines and automata, as well as the computational problems that can be solved using them. It is a theory in theoretical computer science and discrete mathematics (a subject of study in both mathematics and computer science). The word automata (the plural of automaton) comes from the Greek word αὐτόματα, which means “self-acting”.

Cassie – Next Gen bipedal robotics…
Since then, robots have fascinated the minds of sci-fi writers and engineers alike. Which brings us to Cassie – the next generation of bipedal robots devised by Oregon State University’s Agility Robotics. Cassie originates from its predecessor ATRIAS. The problem that researchers kept stumbling over when developing ATRIAS was that it contained motors which worked against each other. As a result, this left the robot in being completely inefficient. Cassie, on the other hand, contains steering, feet, and a sealed system, allowing it be both agile and robust.

90 hacker friendly boards
Our New Year’s guide to hacker-friendly single board computers turned up 90 boards, ranging from powerful media playing rigs to power-sipping IoT platforms.
Community backed, open spec single board computers running Linux and Android sit at the intersection between the commercial embedded market and the open source maker community. Hacker boards also play a key role in developing the Internet of Things devices that will increasingly dominate our technology economy in the coming years, from home automation devices to industrial equipment to drones.
My first Schematic in decades !!!!
An AC power control system powered by #ESP8266 micro-controller, a relay module and a AC relay for monitoring state of the controlled circuit. Done in #EagleCAD on my Linux Mint machine. Will do write up next week.
Acoustic Tractor Beam
Tractor Beams are mysterious waves that can attract particles towards the source. Here, we will show you how to build an Acoustic Tractor Beam with components that can be bought directly on the Internet for less than 75$.
With this Instructable you will be able to get in your hands a device that it was only seen on SciFi movies such as Star Wars or Star Trek.
ESP8266 notes 10-12-16 – Problem uploading sketch – MEM CHECK FAIL
Discovered an issue when I attempted to upload a sketch for the ESP8266 that results in a MEM CHECK FAIL error message. The fix is to make sure there is no load on the GPIO pins.
