Build The Chaos Pendulum
Here is a simple uninterruptible power supply circuit that you can incorporate into your low power DC projects to ensure continued operation during power failures.
Need more chaos in your life? Well, we’ve got a simple, electronically-driven pendulum that can produce all the randomness you like.
Be master of your lawn-watering system with this Wi-Fi project. This month, you’ll learn the building blocks of the Rabbit RCM5450W module that runs it.

The Spin Zone
by Jon Williams
From Spin to PASM and Back Again!
For those of us that started with the BASIC Stamp and then (perhaps) migrated to the SX via SX/B, there can be a bit of a learning curve moving to the Propeller and its native language, Spin.
Q&A

The NearSpace UltraLight — The Everyman’s Flight Computer
My goal was to create an affordable near space flight computer that was still worth flying into near space. The most affordable PICAXE capable of meeting this need was the PICAXE-28X1.
