Computerised board game wins Raspberry Pi Hack Day

Leave a Comment / Blog, News /

The UK’s first Raspberry Pi Hack Day has been held, with the winner of “Best Overall Hack” being a virtual board game suitable for educational use within schools. The 24-hour bake-a-thon, hosted by CPC in Leeds, focused on programming solely using the credit card-sized Raspberry Pi, and the winning team – Spooks – developed a board game which encourages players to experiment with programming

What is Stun Gun An electroshock weapon is an incapacitant weapon used for incapacitating a person by administering electric shock aimed at disrupting superficial muscle functions. One type is a conductive energy device (CED) fires projectiles that administer the shock through a thin, flexible wire. Other electroshock weapons such as stun guns, stun batons, and electroshock belts administer an electric shock by direct contact.

SKL14 -1A Schottky diode will fit everywhere

Leave a Comment / Blog, Circuits, News /

SKL14 can be used in switch-mode power supplies or as protection diodes and thanks their really miniature dimensions, they are also suitable at the lack of PCB space.  SMT Technologies enable a substantial increase of current density thanks to a very good heat transfer from a component to a PCB. Almost a zero length of „leads“ of SMT components also features another positive aspects like a significant suppression of a parasitic inductancy and a possibility to construct circuits with a high components density and a minimal PCB tracks length, what significantly decreases an undesired radiation (EMI) for example in switch-mode power supplies
