ChipHeadBang – design for an USB to Serial converter with ICSP header

There are a number of widely used methods to connect microcontroller projects to USB, all of which are not entirely satisfactory: The commonly used FTDI chips are somewhat expensive, and their manufacturer has made some unpopular decisions with their driver support (although technically, the FTDI drivers work quite well). Atmel also offers microcontrollers with built

Flexible fast charging aluminum ion battery offers safer alternative to lithium ion

Flexible, fast-charging aluminum-ion battery offers safer alternative to lithium-ion

Researchers at Stanford University have created a fast-charging and long-lasting rechargeable battery that is inexpensive to produce, and which they claim could replace many of the lithium-ion and alkaline batteries powering our gadgets today. The prototype aluminum-ion battery is also safer, not bursting into flames as some of its lithium-ion brethren are wont to do.
