prototype of a half adder done with LEGO
Being a bit late with our submission we came up with the nice idea to explain binary logic. Research on the Internet showed several ideas but none was really going into depth of the true logic inside computers. The initial aim to do Lego models was changed into doing a copper construction which should be more stable. The Lego models would be used as course support material.
It is tradition to wish everyone a happy new year when the old one ends and a new one begins. But the past year will leave a mark on everybody’s memory for its events.

With Christmas just around the corner, Santa Kris handed out presents in the past days. Nobody saw him and nobody heard him but our beloved hackerspace counts in its inventory a few more microcontroller boards from Texas Instruments and ST Microelectronics.
Have a look at the following list with some more information.
MSP430 LaunchPad
2x MSP430 Value Line LaunchPad Development Tool from TI.
This is a low cost (around €5) development board for TI low cost and low energy MSP430 microcontrollers.
There is an interesting web site 430h specialized in MSP430 hacking.
But be cautious! This is not an Arduino! It is more like an ATtiny. Still somewhat very useful.
Do you always wanted to have a chicken coop but you always have been held back by a small fact that you’ll have to wake up every morning to open the coop door so nice chickens could get outside do begin with their everyday business?
Your dream may become true! Well, at least after you build a LaunchPad controlled chicken coop door controller. You could also make your chickens more happy by providing a simple TV broadcasting service for them.
So better start hacking because spring is not far away!
