A new generation of cheap lightweight plastic electronic technology that does not require silicon, but which is optically transparent and can be coated onto everyday objects would transform our world.
"Working collaboratively with industry is not only satisfying in that I see aspects of my work translate into real engineered products, but it provides inspiration for new avenues of research too. Roadmapping then allows me to critically assess how I should be developing my research portfolio and engaging with industry to maximise the likelihood of productive collaboration."
—Dr Andrew Flewitt
Imagine electronically updated food labels, computers embedded in our armchairs, even contact lenses linking us directly to the Internet to bring us into the age of plastic electronics. In this video podcast Dr Andrew Flewitt and Dr Robert Phaal both from the Department of Engineering and Scott White serial entrepreneur and CEO of Pragmatic Printing talk about the creative partnership forged between different parts of the Department of Engineering and outside companies that enable the technology and research in this area to be exploited successfully.

The via is located on the front of the PCB, directly above the R19 resistor.

I will pick up my QCX QRP transceiver kit today.
It has been on order for weeks now.
Apparently there was quite a waiting list as was expected for this very popular ham radio kit.
Precious time has slipped by since I have picked up ANY tools, which were once part of my every day life...it's time, they have been most patient as has been Sue!
Back with a vengeance I am...

The SID takes it's data in parallel, 5 bits of register address and 8 bits of actual data. In order to feed all that from just a few outputs from the Arduino I'm using two shift registers in series.
Ok, I plan on using these two to feed the SID, currently they're just making a bunch of LEDs flash like mad.
Some shots from the electronics flea market. I took these around 11 when I was done browsing, so a lot of vendors had already left or started packing up.

Connecting up the ESC, motor and steering servo to the 2.4GHz receiver. No more glitching! Much finer grained control over steering and speed. Worth every cent!
My brother dropped his cellphone in the water... Lucky for him, it wasn't sea water! The only casualty is the camera connector, so no photos anymore...
The radio's coming together nicely. This set-up will let me continue ironing out the bugs in the code without travelling to the studio... although having only 6 bits output on the social board is a little constraining (it's wired up to another screen on the breadboard).
