Elsewhere, the much-maligned iDrive electronics interface has been dramatically improved, with more logically arranged menus and buttons surrounding the iDrive control knob that access frequently used functions (radio, navigation, telephone). The navigation system itself is now hard-drive-based and features real-time traffic information.
Later in the year, BMW's first clean-diesel engine for the United States will debut in the 2009 335d. This twin-turbocharged six-cylinder will make prodigious power and yet manage remarkable fuel economy of 23 mpg city and 36 mpg highway, according to BMW, while meeting the latest strict emissions requirements of all 50 states.
The 2009 BMW 3 Series is poised to remain America's best-selling luxury car, and for good reason -- it's an honest-to-goodness driver's car that's nonetheless comfortable and stylish enough to appeal to a wide range of consumers. This isn't to say that there aren't other worthy contenders. The Infiniti G37 offers 335i power for 328i money, the Cadillac CTS offers an extra dollop of interior room and the latest Audi A4 offers all-weather capability in a stylish package. All are admirable alternatives; however, none is good enough to knock the 3 Series from its traditional perch.

超프리미엄 'LG 시그니처' 유럽 무대 데뷔...IFA 전시장에 대대적인 깃발 광고
LG전자가 2일부터 7일까지 독일 베를린에서 열리는 유럽 최대 가전전시회인 'IFA 2016'에서 超프리미엄 ‘LG SIGNATURE(LG 시그니처)’를 유럽시장에 본격 론칭한다.
LG전자는 ‘LG 시그니처’ 브랜드를 알리기 위해 IFA 전시장 입구에 대대적인 깃발 광고를 내걸었다

OK, so I decided not to be so secretive about what I'm building. If I end up giving this to someone as a gift, they can act surprised (and will be if they don't look at my Flickr stream!)
It's a die roller! A little widget that lets you press a button and get a random roll of two six-sided dice displayed on the LEDs what are cleverly arranged as though die pips.
As shown in the previous shot, its power switch lets you choose between two modes. These are not yet written but will be Animated mode and Non-animated mode. In animated mode the dice will rapidly flash through random rolls as long as the action button is held down, then when it's released, it will slow down for a couple seconds and stop on the actual roll. Non-animated mode will be the same except it won't have the slowdown part, it'll just stop. In either case you won't be able to re-roll for a second or two, so that a stutter on the button won't trash a legitimate roll. I figured non-animated mode would be for the veteran user who just needs to get some die-rolling done and doesn't need all that fancy_pants frippery.
Right now the only thing the circuit does is check to see, on startup, if the switch is in animated or non-animated mode; if animated, it shows 11 on the dice like this, and if not, it shows a 7. Most happily, it worked on the first try!
Tech details: all the parts of this project, including the screws, circuit board, wire, battery clip, and everything, is stuff that I had lying around in my electronics collection, in some cases for over 15 years. The brains of the outfit is a venerable PIC 16F84 (not even an 84A, it's the real MicroCoy), the microcontroller that was the champeen among hobbyists throughout the late 1990s, and for which gobs of amateur code still exist online because the Web doesn't forget, or at least it can't be counted on to forget just because things get outdated. These days it's also possible to find a bunch of message board entries with people asking about the 16F84 and others non-answering in that way wannabe techies often do i.e. "why would you wanna use THAT piece of junk? The 16F628 is sooo much newer and better and cheaper (sneer, sneer)" and now you can even find the equivalent with people disparaging the obsolescent F628 because time marches on and, as I said, the web doesn't forget. I can't wait to see what people get into after the F88!
Anyway, it's an old chip in this circuit. It's date-coded 2002 and is the black-bodied caterpillar dingbat in the bottom center. The shiny metal thingy to the right of it, labeled "M-TRON", is a quartz crystal that provides the "heartbeat" for the circuit - in this case, at a pokey 4 megahertz; that is indeed mega- and not giga-, since these chips are modest in scope and ability. Newer microcontrollers have an equivalent to this timing crystal built in, so it's kind of quaint to see one this big and ancient: its date code hints that it was manufactured a few weeks after I graduated from high school, class of '85, so it's been 4 megahertzing along for a very long time. (really they only work when there's power applied and a few other parts wired to them, but it's a fun thought to say that it's oscillated somewhere in the neighborhood of 3.362688×10¹⁵ times.)
The little chip on the left is a power regulation gadget, not so exciting as the other stuff but more of an unsung hero. It has two sidekicks, those can-shaped capacitors just above it. It's probably the most expensive single piece on here, at $5 or $6 purchased in single quantity, but it does have one excellent property. I.e., cheap voltage regulators exist that can deliver a solid 5 volts like this one does very easily, but they need an input of 7 volts or more while this one only needs about 5.3 or 5.4. The circuit is built to run off a 9V battery, so the 7 volt requirement wouldn't seem to be a problem - except that I'd like it to work with a rechargeable 9V battery, and those only actually deliver 7.2 volts when fully charged, so their life would be very short with one of the cheaper regulators. Nifty, eh?
So now: develop the software, then the hard part: mount it in a box to make it presentable.

It's Dubai! Buy Buy Buy!
I didn't buy in Dubai. Well at least not in the airport, where this pic was taken. Lots of people go to Dubai to buy electronics. Makes no sense to me. If I were to want to buy cheap electronics I'd go to China but what do I know about it?

Each board is essentially a beefed up Smart LED microcontroller driving 4 Pirahna RGB LEDs. The board has full 24-bit color capability, with on-board commands to control color fades & mixes and running through temporal light patterns. The boards are all controlled via a single I2C bus. Below the microcontroller is a ~900 uH coil used by the RFID reader.
All thru-hole parts because I'm assembling them myself (there's only 50) and no space constraints. The boards are sized to slide into the WineM prototype wine cells.
The Digilent Electronics Explorer board (EE board) includes all of the test and measurement equipment needed to design, build, and test analog and digital circuits of all types. Built around a large solderless breadboard, the EE board includes a 4-channel mixed-signal USB oscilloscope, waveform generator, variable power supply, voltmeter, reference voltage generator, and thirty-two digital signals that can be configured as a logic analyzer, pattern generator, or any one of several static digital I/O devices. All of these instruments can be connected to circuits built on the solderless breadboards using simple jumper wires.
