Arduino Development An Arduino is a credit card sized computer that you can program to do almost anything. Here we're setting up an arduino to control a relay to open and close our garage door from our mobile phones. Useful? Yes. Fun? Yes!

The RepRap 3D Printer This is a home made 3D printer called a RapRap. It creates objects that you design. It can even make the parts to replicate itself. Nifty! We would like to build a few more of these as group projects.
