A Small Basic Approach
There are many different PC programming languages available on the market. Some have beautiful names; some have easy to use development tools. Others have incredible power. They all have one thing in common: they assume that you have, or want to have, a knack for technology and difficult to read commands.
In this book we take a practical approach to programming. We assume that you simply want to write a PC program, and write it quickly. Not in a professional environment, not in order to start a new career, but for plain and simple fun... or just to get a task done.
Therefore we use Small Basic. You will have an application up and running in a matter of minutes. You will understand exactly how it works and be able to write text programs, graphical user interfaces, and advanced drivers. It is so simple; you don't even need to be an adult!
This 14-way MonoDAQ-compatible connector allows the user to create, reuse and archive test fixtures instead of rewiring the connector furnished with the MonoDAQ everytime a measurement or test has to be repeated.

The AxiDraw's pen holder normally holds a pen (or other instrument) either vertically or at 45° from vertical. The Pen clip rotation stage is a lightweight adapter allows you to mount the instrument at arbitrary angles, and fine-tune that angle over a range of 90 degrees with a precision of 1 degree.This adapter is not normally needed in general writing and drawing usage. However certain precision applications of the AxiDraw – particularly those using the AxiDraw as a general purpose XY motion control stage – may find this to be helpful. Some users have also found it useful for fine-tuning the angle that a pen is mounted at when using italic or chisel-tip pens in combination with the Italic pen adapter.You can attach the rotation stage to the front face of the AxiDraw in two orientations, vertical or at 45° from vertical. These orientations, along with the 90°adjustment range, allow you to either adjust between vertical and horizontal, or between vertical and ±45° from vertical. Two small thumbscrews and an engraved bezel allow you to make adjustments and set the angle.Specifications

A low-power, open source, 2.7-inch IoT display powered by an ESP32-S2 module and featuring SHARP's Memory-in-Pixel (MiP) screen technology
The Newt is a battery-powered, always-on, wall-mountable display that can go online to retrieve weather, calendars, sports scores, to-do lists, quotes…really anything on the Internet! It is powered by an ESP32-S2 microcontroller that you can program with Arduino, CircuitPython, MicroPython, or ESP-IDF. It's perfect for makers:
Sharp’s Memory-in-Pixel (MiP) technology avoids the slow refresh times associated with E-Ink displays
A real-time clock (RTC) was added to support timers and alarms
The Newt was designed with battery operation in mind; every component on the board was chosen for its ability to operate at low power.
Newt was designed to operate 'untethered,' which means it can be mounted in places where a power cord would be inconvenient, for example a wall, refrigerator, mirror, or dry-erase board. With the optional stand, desks, shelves, and nightstands are also good options.
Newt is open source, and all design files and libraries are available for review, use, and modification. However, doing that is not required. Each Newt is delivered with working code with the following features:
Current weather details
Hourly and daily weather forecast
Alarm
Timer
Inspirational quotes
Air-quality forecast
Habit calendar
Pomodoro timer
Oblique Strategy cards
Only following the Wi-Fi provisioning instructions is needed to get started. No app downloads are required.

Power
Newt is designed to operate for one to two months between charges using a 500 mAH LiPo battery. The exact run time varies. (Heavy Wi-Fi use, in particular, will reduce battery charge more quickly.)
USB Type-C connector for programming, power, and charging
Low-quiescence voltage regulator (TOREX XC6220) that can output 1 A of current and operate as low as 8 μA.
JST connector for a Lithium-Ion battery
Battery-charging circuity (MCP73831)
Low-battery indicator (1 μA quiescence current)
Software
Newt hardware is compatible with open-source Arduino libraries for ESP32-S2, Adafruit GFX (fonts), Adafruit Sharp Memory Display (display writing), and RTC RV-3028-C7 (RTC)
Arduino libraries and sample programs are under development and will be available in our GitHub repository before launch
CircuitPython libraries and registration are on the roadmap, with the development of a CircuitPython library for the RV-3028 real-time clock as a key dependency

The Piccolino rapid development board can be used to design microcontroller circuits quickly. The Piccolino has a fast 16f887 PIC microcontroller, voltage regulator, and communications module, and can be easily extended using its four headers.
This e-book contains 30 projects based on the Piccolino. We'll use its unique communications facilities and get the Piccolino to communicate with programs on a PC. On the PC, we use the free programming language Small Basic. You can use this to create Windows programs with buttons and graphs quickly. You will learn how to analyze components such as inductors, capacitors, and OPAMPs, and how to display the measurement results in a graphical format. This will help you to design your circuits easily.
We will then start to adapt to the Piccolino. We'll add components to it to make it more powerful, with extra features such as flow control and digital to analog conversion. The clear instructions will enable you to design and build your adaptations. This way you can make your custom designed Piccolino.
We'll end up making an extension: a PCB that that can be mounted on the Piccolino headers. As an example, we'll design and build an extension for an LCD. You can use the included board layout to make your PCB or have it made for you. At the same time, you will learn how to make your extensions. The only limitation is your imagination!
The clear descriptions along with circuit diagrams and photos, will make the building of these projects an enjoyable experience. Each project has a clear explanation of the reasons why it was designed in a particular way. This helps you learn a lot about the Piccolino, as well as Small Basic, and the components that are used in this e-book. You can adapt the projects to suit your requirements or combine several projects.

This anodised aluminium heatsink case will protect your Raspberry Pi 4 and give you very effective passive cooling. It's great in cases where you want completely silent cooling, for instance, if you're building a home media center.
The scope of delivery includes a thermal pad to provide thermal contact between the CPU and top case, and a handy Allen key and set of hex bolts to attach the case together.
The case gives you access to all of the ports, pins, and connectors.
Features
Anodised aluminium top and bottom case
Heatsink fins
Thermal pad
Hex bolts and Allen key included
Access to all ports, pins, and connectors
Compatible with Raspberry Pi 4
Assembly
Assembling your heatsink case is pretty easy and should only take a couple of minutes. The first, and most important thing is to make sure that your Pi is powered off and unplugged before you fit the case.
Take one of the thermal pads and peel the protective films off both sides of it (there's a white film and an easy-to-miss clear film on the other side. Stick the thermal pad onto your Pi's CPU (the metal square nearest the middle of the PCB).
Sticking the thermal pad to the CPU first is a much better way to position it correctly than trying to stick it to the case. Only use one thermal pad with the Raspberry Pi 4.
Position the top case and then, holding it in place, flip the whole thing over and position the bottom case on the underside of your Pi. Use the four hex bolts and allen key to secure the case.
Notes
The case is metal and hence conductive, so be careful not to short any components on it, and ensure that your RPi is powered off and unplugged when fitting the case
It may be obvious, but the case will get hot in use
