Our first feature is surrounding energy harvesting – taking very tiny power sources and converting them to useful applications.

Bob over at Ambient Sensors has shown how to use the 40mV-500mV LTC3108 boost converter being powered from a Peltier junction.

You can also find his open source design on Github.

In addition, the store will be moving URLs.

Existing URLs will be redirected as appropriate.

Note that user accounts and previous orders will not be migrated.

Currently moved:

  1. qsgen the static site generator
  2. TropicSSL the BSD licensed fork of PolarSSL.

Yet another reason to dislike PHP…
