Amanda Williams is a talented designer and now adds manufacturing experience to her skills, a potent combination.
1Sheeld connects with and exposes the device’s sensors, actuators, and selected app APIs for easy access by the Arduino.
We focused on the common sensors most people wanted and created one solid “chocolate bar” -- breakable, detachable, modular, wireless, cloud-enabled, with SDKs, tutorials, demo apps, etc.
How often do you see a magician building his own monkeybot assistant using cork, wire, and an Arduino? That's Mario the Magician, and after receiving rave reviews, filmmaker Kal Toth is looking for funding to take his short (11-minute) film about Mario and turn it into a feature-length documentary. 
What happens if your Kickstarter campaign fails? Then break your product down, figure out what actually works, and try the whole thing again. That's what Zach Supalla and the Spark team have done.
This week, I interviewed the designer and maker Brendan Dawes for my podcast, Looking Sideways. Brendan's known for early interactive web projects like Psycho Studio, that allows users to remix Hitchcock's famous shower scene themselves. He's also known for his physical projects, such as the Moviepeg and Popa iPhone accessories, and devices that cross the digital/physical divide, such as the Happiness Machine, an internet-connected printer that prints random happy thoughts from people across the web. We talked about designing physical objects that embody hidden digital information.
MAKE's 2nd annual Hardware Innovation Workshop concluded yesterday after two inspiring, thought-provoking days. Thanks to all our great sponsors, presenters, and attendees for making it a success. Here's a look back.
Hardware is hard as the quip goes, but there's never been a better time to be prototyping and launching hardware projects than right now. That seemed to be the consensus today as the second and final day of MAKE Hardware's Innovation Workshop wrapped up. The all-day schedule of speakers represented a deep pool of talent, creativity, and passion for the business of making.
