"My weekly view"
It's been very quiet on the blog this week! Little posts have been completed, so either people have gotten very tired over the course of this challenge, or we're still in for a grande finale before the 16th! But... Those who have posted have shown quite some stuff! ajkahl showed a functioning prototype of his bike light, Kilohercas had quite some engineering trouble, but got his PSOC working together with his STM32F4 to control an AmoLED + touchscreen. dougw has shown his Henrietta project, with remote PC and mobile App! yuritikhonov got his tricopter going, and put up a nice video. PaulMakesThings got his barista arm working, but unfortunately broke it before getting all its functions on video; luckily he got enough to show off some robotics. And of course malamitra and COMPACT provided content of projects still in development!
