1Sheeld by Integreight

The 1Sheeld by Integreight is the bridge for Arduino users and their electronic prototyping dreams.

The 1sheeld enables your smartphone to act as many different Arduino shields.

So what is a shield and why is the 1Sheeld by Integreight so awesome?

A shield can be built or bought and it enables a certain function on a prototyping board that was not built in. For example:

• camera
• bluetooth
• quality audio
• gps
• wifi
• touchscreen
• meters
• microphone

BEFORE 1Sheeld, you had to buy a different shield for each individual project.

Now with the 1Sheeld, you can find and build the optimal shield for all of your projects. Engineers and builders now have a wireless relay between their mobile device (and all of your smartphone embedded sensors and widgets) and the Arduino (Raspberry Pi boards with an adapter).

1Sheeld ‘s most important and outstanding function is that you can select and switch between which…

3D Peachy Printer And Scanner Launches For $100

Hands on with the 3Doodler 3D printing pen: it’s lots of fun, but poorly designed

Gigaom

The 3Doodler 3D printing pen’s Kickstarter video advertises a world in which we can draw shapes in thin air and create just about any 3D object with the help of simple stencils.

Reality isn’t far from that, but it’s not as easy as 3Doodler makes it look. After spending a week with the pen, I can say that it is a lot of fun but not something that I need to have around for more than a week.

The 3Doodler is a hot glue gun crossed with a 3D printer. It takes the printer bits that heat up and extrude melted plastic and puts them in your hand, where you draw with them like using a pen.

It’s pretty neat watching a 3D shape come together so fast. 3Doodler’s website provides some good templates for objects to draw, including the Eiffel Tower, which the Kickstarter campaign features prominently. I wasn’t…

How A Geek Dad And His 3D Printer Aim To Liberate Legos

Art, Design, Code

Carnegie Mellon Professor Golan Levin with a pile of 3D-printed adapters between construction toy sets.

This story appears in the April 23, 2012, issue of Forbes Magazine.

Last year Golan Levin’s son decided to build a car. Aside from the minor inconvenience of being 4 years old, the younger Levin faced an engineering challenge. His Tinkertoys, which he wanted to use for the vehicle’s frame, wouldn’t attach to his K’Nex, the pieces he wanted to use for the wheels.

It took his father, an artist, hacker and professor at Carnegie Mellon, a year to solve that problem. In the process he cracked open a much larger one: In an age when anyone can share, download and create not just digital files but also physical things, thanks to the proliferation of cheap 3-D printers, are companies at risk of losing control of the objects they sell?

In March Levin and his…
