Arduino Due unboxing, micro review, mailbagThe Arduino Due has been out for a little bit now and we finally have one on our workbench! Element14 has sent me a Due so I can create some content for their Arduino section in the element14 commuinity. I will be working alongside element14 vets such as Jeremy Blum, and Dave Young to bring everyone some awesome information and content based around the Arduino Due. For my part I will be writing a blog post or two as well as building a RAMPS style RepRap / 3D Printer controller board with some exciting new features. If there is anything you would like to know, or see the Due do, please contact me or leave a comment and I will try to work it in.  [node:read-more:link]

ISO-Tip sends their love in the form of their latest portable soldering iron kit.

 

Hack A Day posted an article about making sure your data was backed up and used our home / workshop fire as an example on how to do things right. We lost no important code because our data is backed up in the cloud.  After that post we got many emails offering condolences and well wishes on starting over. A few people donated money, some donated tools, and some companies stepped up and offered to send us some amazing hardware. ISO-TIP was the first of those companies to contact us.
