Open source IDE builds on Adobe’s Brackets Editor Arduino LLC has announced the launch of a new web-based integrated development environment (IDE) for its programmable microcontroller development boards. Based around Adobe’s Brackets Editor, the alpha release of the open source Arduino Studio supports Linux and other platforms as well as being available as a Brackets Extension to run with in a  browser on any device. Arduino Studio is described by the company as “a work in progress,” designed to be suitable for Arduino Studio IDE launched ARDUINO use as a stand-alone, cloud-based or on-board embedded IDE. As well as a new user interface, Arduino Studio includes code completion and an in line quick language reference system, both designed to speed up coding for experienced Arduino users and make the platform as accessible as possible. While Arduino Studio can be expected to  replace Arduino IDE in the future, no time scale has been provided for its full release...

Planning This is where humans really trump computers. Humans can map out a series of sequences to lead us to a goal. Involving millions of neurons interacting in yet fully understood ways, computers lack this ability for now . Logic Computers are extremely linear when it comes to thinking. Because of this – as well as their lack of  emotional responses – they can work logically through commands to reach the best possible solution.  Maths There’s no denying it, computers are geniuses when it comes to doing sums. Just ask your calculator. Again, because base mathematics is the input of data and the extraction of a single solution, a simple programme can work through calculations extremely quickly. Speed   Computers are able to operate at much faster speeds because they are stripped-down basic brains. Just think, even though a Land Rover may have more horsepower than a Ferrari, the latter is faster because it has less weight to hold it ...

A 3Doodler allow anybody to write directly into the air by heating some plastic materials like PLA and ABS  The world’s first 3D-printing pen – WobbleWorks’s 3Doodler – was launched in 2013,  This  enables you to turn drawings into full-3D models on any surface, without the need of any other  software or computer. Unlike a normal pen, however, the 3Doodler doesn’t use ink, instead relying on filaments of ABS(Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene)  or PLA(polylactic acid)  plastic, materials  also used by most desktop 3D printers. How it works  The 3Doodler prints by heating three-millimetre (0.1-inch)-thin strands of plastic, which need to be loaded into its back. After turning the 3Doodler on and waiting a few minutes for it to warm up, the LED indicator light will then turn blue, which means that the heated plastic can then extrude from the 3Doodler nozzle’s metal tip – the only potentially dangerous part, which can get as hot as...
