You can now very easily add touch and gesture control to your electronic projects! How? With Hover!
Hover is a development kit that lets you control your Arduino projects in a whole new way. Wave goodbye to physical buttons. Hover detects hand movements in the air for touch-less interaction. It also features five touch-sensitive regions for even more options.
The little capacitive touch sensitive PCB fits a standard breadboard. The gesture detection range is up to 5 inches / 13 cm and it needs a 3.3V power supply. For $39 you can order it here.
Am 6. und 7. Juni 2014 findet das Photonikcamp 2014 im Fab Lab Berlin statt.
Bewirb Dich jetzt für eine unkomplizierte Unterstützung des BMBF für Dein Photonik Projekt: https://www.fablab-berlin.org/photonikcamp/
Der Schwerpunkt des diesjährigen Camps liegt auf Datenerfassung, als Auftakt für ein Citizen Science Sensornetzwerk.
Yet another very interesting project is up on Kickstarter: The Printoo project consists of various modules with connections to join them together in order to “give intelligence to everyday objects”. Nothing new so far, but: the circuit boards are made of a very thin, flexible and therefore bendable, low power plastic plate with all the wiring printed on it with conductive ink. This now enables us to use Arduino & co in new areas that were not possible before. You can acquire an Atmel Atmega328 module, very thin sensors, batteries and internet modules… basically everything you need to bring your 3D objects to life.

Nice idea by Ynvisible.
For 8 years now South Korea is the number 1 of the OECD nations – concerning the suicide rate. Alone 1090 suicides were committed by jumping off the Mapo Bridge in Seoul.
The company Cheil wanted to put a stop to all those deaths and came up with a concept: “Our idea was to light up the railing by installing lights that react to a persons movement.” Using LED lights and ultrasonic sensors messages like “Where have you been?” or “What is troubling you?” as well as pictures of happy people appear and follow the person along his or her way on the bridge, keeping company – and as it seems also effectively keeping people from jumping off the bridge. After the opening of the installation in September 2012 the average suicide rate fell by 77%.
The Bridge of Death has become the Bridge of Life.

Our Fab-Run 100 just came back from our Berlin based manufacturer. It looks so awesome that we are really tempted to keep all the great PCBs for ourselves. Sorry guys, we can’t send them out and all of you will get refunded :D
No, as scheduled, we will send your orders out, tomorrow. If you have any feedback, please let us know. Thank you for flying with Fritzing Fab and we hope to see you soon back on Fritzing Fab!
