Façam o vosso Portátil! E controlem os Fogos de Artifício, Astroprint, e o Gadget Set!

Eis algo que é espantoso, e faz mesmo muit falta, fazerem o vosso próprio Computador Portátil, desta forma, fazem-no como quizerem, e a um preço muito atractivo...

Utilizando a cada vez mais poderosa Raspberry Pi, este portátil é melhor que muitos Computadores desktop...

Pinebox Portable Computer

MikB

This is a multi-part instructable for a Portable Raspberry PI computer and development system:

It's a Pi, in a box, a box made of pine, hence the name: PInebox!

Uses:

Portable Linux computer/laptop

Raspberry Pi hardware/software project development platform

Backup emergency PC (web browser/email)

General 5 Megapixel Camera/HD Video (with audio)

Portable Audio recorder/player

Remote ZoneMinder CCTV camera source and ZoneMinder CCTV camera montage monitor

DVB-T2 television receiver?
VOIP/Skype phone?
And more!

Como há tanto Acidente por aí, por se usarem métodos artesanais, com o Fogo-de-Artifício, cá vai esta ideia para modenizarem a coisa, sem percalços:

Firework Control Module

JonBush

A few years ago I came across a firework control module built by Instructables user: systemf92. His module was a great design (found here) and I knew that I would one day have to build something similar because it combined two things that I really enjoy: Electronics and Blowing Stuff Up on Independence Day. Well, a few years passed and I finally decided it was time to build one of my own.

My module is Arduino powered for a few reasons. 1) I need to work on my programming skills. 2) I wanted it to be "smart" or "aware" of what connections were present. 3) I wanted to have control over timing adjustments that a more analog solution wouldn't allow. 4) I wanted a more graphical user interface that would be fun for my kids. The complete solution was a two part module that allows you, children, babies, etc to safely enjoy launching fireworks from a minimum distance of 50 feet. I wouldn't have felt comfortable sending my 3 year old up to a mortar tube with a punk, but I would let him launch them all day with this and its included safety features.

Estou às voltas com esta nova maravilha, a Astroprint, que vos facilita a vida que é um regalo!

Pois não é que mandam para lá os vosso Objectos 3D, o Site aanalisa e repara, e podem fazer o download do bicho, ou do G-code, para imprimirem?

Cá estão os meus "Óculos-Radar"... E já tenho o G-code.

E têem uma Loja para venderem os vossos Objectos, (mas só se já os tiverem impresso), um Aparelho para imprimirem na vossa Máquina a partir de qualquer lado, uma data de coisas!
