Tue Jul 10 14:52:29 CDT 2012

Looks like a fun build and we could have it up on the wall, linked to the
website or promoting the next program.

Instead of a decoder ring, it takes a smartphone to read the secret
messages hidden in a Quick Response (QR) code. These splotchy squares are
popping up everywhere --  even on the roof of Facebook headquarters.
Designed to eliminate the need for a keyboard, QR codes typically direct
readers to websites, phone numbers or addresses. Jameco Product Manager
Ryan Winters took the QR concept to the next level by designing an
expandable, programmable LED QR code. Best of all, it’s really cool
looking.

 Robert Eastman often struggles with finding a good project during the long
Maine winters, but his story about converting his bicycle into an electric
bike was enough to warm any do-it-yourselfer. The highlight of the build
was his treasure hunt for components, but now his battery powered bike is
turning lots of heads.

By: RoboGenius

The Quadcopter uses various sensors to keep it steady. On the bottom of the
Quadcopter is an ultrasonic sensor to maintain the height off the ground.
It uses an Arduino mini and the Wii motion plus. The software is open
source.

By: TeeGee

The Dark Spot Light is an automated light for any closet, cabinet or drawer
that is activated when the door is opened. Features auto-off to preserve
the batteries and extension units to allow lighting of multiple shelves
from one master device. ******

   *Portlet Programmable
Outlet*<http://links.enews.jameco.com/ctt?kn=3&ms=NDIwMDU2NgS2&r=MjE0ODE5OTgyNjgS1&b=0&j=MTI3NjI1NDkxS0&mt=1&rt=0>
By: MightyThor

This device is powered by the outlet and can control two outlets with
mechanical relays. There are buttons and an LCD for user feedback, and two
thermocouple inputs for accurate temperature control. This simple and
versatile device is more flexible than current options (like X11 or PID
controllers). It can be standalone or hooked into a network and has
temperature integration.

Designed by: BobTwiggs

Club Jameco will quickly become the definitive source for every imaginable
electronics project under the sun. Here’s one of the first customer designs
by BobTwiggs. The Cyclops Walkbot is a fun and fast table-top bot. This is
a beginner level project perfect for a supervised young hobbyist. The kit
builds a little critter with a vibrating motor that gives it a happy hop.

   Many of Jameco’s customers know a lot about designing new technology.
There are things like copyrights and patents to protect intellectual
property, but there is no way to effectively protect a business idea. That
makes ideas all but worthless.

Jameco has seen its ideas mimicked and copied over the years by
competitors. While flattering, flattery doesn’t pay the bills. Instead of
getting mad, however, we decided to get even and found a way for your ideas
to make some money for you.

*Read about Jameco’s original idea borrowed from
others.*<http://links.enews.jameco.com/ctt?kn=55&ms=NDIwMDU2NgS2&r=MjE0ODE5OTgyNjgS1&b=0&j=MTI3NjI1NDkxS0&mt=1&rt=0>

 The saying, “begin at the beginning” is never more true than in the
workshop. As professionals and hobbyists alike know, the workbench is where
it all begins – where the magic happens. Take a virtual tour of Jameco
customer Andy Frey’s workshop. It's highly organized for its tight space
and it may give you some ideas to incorporate into your own work space!

 *Did your workshop make it to our updated Workshop Hall of
Fame?*<http://links.enews.jameco.com/ctt?kn=56&ms=NDIwMDU2NgS2&r=MjE0ODE5OTgyNjgS1&b=0&j=MTI3NjI1NDkxS0&mt=1&rt=0>
