Dear Electronics Colleague:
I am excited to have my first Kickstarter campaign launched this month. I invite your feedback.(Now that I have experience in what this process looks like- if you have a product idea....we are always looking to help "productize" ideas)
Last month my wife and I had the opportunity to see Pearl Jam; one of the pre-eminent rock bands. The show was great lasting 3 1/2 hours and was packed full of surprises.
Contact Alex at aconley@solder.net to make sure that you can still get into one of the IPC-A-610 and/or J-STD-001 "E" to "F" webinars where you can learn about all of the changes!

Kickstarter Campaign "Kicked" Off
|
|
Bob Wettermann of BEST along with his business partner, Yury Milgram, have developed a programmable thermostat app that "talks" to a controller that will hold a set point temperature. The controller has an input sensor that indicates the current temperature. The controller turns a temperature source like a room heater, aquarium tank or germination system heater on and off based on this measured temperature.

This is for you technologists out there trying to get youngsters or other non scientists interested in STEM subjects. Stop talking about your boring topics that interest only you.
