If you haven't been over to our education site in a while - well, you're missing out! Our Department of Education has been hard at work on new workshops, resources and more. We've also revamped our entire tutorial system to make it more user friendly and easier to find the topic you are interested in. Today, we want to draw your attention to a few new tutorials that are worth checking out!
The first is for all you weather nerds out there (and we have more than a few in the building here at SFE). In this tutorial written by our fearless leader/CEO Nate, you'll learn how to create a weather station that connects wirelessly to Wunderground.
Next we have a teardown of the Misfit Shine. The Misfit Shine is one of those new-fangled activity trackers. In this tutorial from Creative Technologist Nick Poole, we get into the guts of the Shine to see what makes it tick!
Lastly, we have the MYST Linking Book. In this hack, Nick takes a book and incorporates a screen into it to create a custom linking book for the popular adventure game MYST.
There are only three examples of the dozens of new tutorials we've added in the recent months. Check out the tutorial page to find something that piques your interest!
What happened to According to Pete?
Pete.
Aw, man. You're killing me, even if it is true. I'll most likely return to it at some point soon, but my attention is needed elsewhere for the moment.
Nobody blames you, Pete. Being a cultural icon is hard work.
That's a lie. We blame him all the time. He's denying the people their wants and needs!
Could you guys fix the Advanced SMD tutorial as well? You seemed to publish it before it was ready and it contains a "need link!!" In place of a real link.. The page it's on: https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/designing-pcbs-advanced-smd/eagle-smd-labels where it talks about loading the SparkFun DRU files
Fixed. Thanks.
Getting it fixed right now. Sorry about that problem!
