Introduction to I2C

I2C is one of the most used electronically data bus that is extremely often used in embedded systems. It is used for attaching sensors, actuators of other subsystems into the system.

Recently i have found a good introduction which includes background knowledge and a HowToUs on www.uchobby.com.

Europe is looking for talents! Those who are members of EURON have already read the announcement, those who are not must read now.  The Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation is proud to introduce ‘Campus Party Europe.’ This event will be held in Madrid from April 14th to April 18th of 2010, celebrating the Spanish Presidency of the European Union and organized by Asociacion E3 Futura.

Programming Tutorials and free Mindstorms Software Addons

Before starting this new blog here, i have been collecting Lego Mindstorms related material in my public Wuala Group „ Robotics, Robotik, Mindstorms, Asuro, Yeti, more (www.nxtreme.net)“.

I also uploaded Tutorials for different programming languages.

Feel free to join this group.

„Talking Robots“ the podcast for fascinated people

Every starting into an new field is hard work and so all of us are often seraching for first hand information that can guide us into this field. Podcasts are  a new way  to get a starting, but they only can help if they have a certain quality.

The project „Talking Robots“ has definitely a high quality level and presents a wide bandwidth of robotic topics in 45 podcasts.  Each podcast presents one field in that way that one leading expert of that field is interviewed and therefore does the team of the Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne (EPFL) archive that the audiences get first hand information and a good starting point for deeper investigations.

Unfortunately has the project finished and no new talks are planned. Link RSS
