ALL BAND RADIO USES ARDUINO AND SI4730

Arduino News / By Ibrar Ayyub

It is getting harder and harder to tell homemade projects from commercial ones. A good case in point is [Mirko’s] all band radio which you can see in the video below the break. On the outside, it has a good looking case. On the inside, it uses a Si4730 radio which has excellent performance that would be

ARDUINO TAKES CONTROL OF DEAD BUSINESS CARD CUTTER

Arduino News / By Ibrar Ayyub

It’s a common enough situation, that when an older piece of equipment dies, and nobody wants to spend the money to repair it. Why fix the old one, when the newer version with all the latest bells and whistles isn’t much more expensive? We all understand the decision from a business standpoint, but as hackers,
