What fun it is to host again, thanks for having me!

I personally have a love for the 555 timer chip because it was the very first chip I learned about in my electronics class. I often go back to implementing this chip where ever I can even though in most application or components it’s function is already incorporated into a board system design. Great one this week Becky and the industrial robotic arm is a keeper. Now I just need to make 200 more and I’ll never need to work again.

another amazing week of projects!

I'm here for anything CNC so loving the pen-drawer (and files!)

I've seen rug-tufting done by hand but that gun looks insane

the motion-controlled camera really is ingenious, I've got to get into using a kinekt

and Jeremy Fielding just gets better and better

Great work Becky! Very interesting Maker update, I have definitely been seeing all this rug tufting lately, but not ready to get into another hobby just yet- as much as I want to haha.
