• Control an electric circuit from my computer

  Assuming you don't heed my warning and don't mind your friends beating you to pulp, I'll help I've seen usb widgets that can control electrical things. I think I was a power strip that can be so controlled at adafruit.com. Likewise, I built a robot whose sensors and motors were controlled via usb. This was before the Raspberry Pi's, so I used a ITX board (small form PC motherboard that was running Linux). Source: 6 months ago

• How can I get started with embedded systems that isn't Arduino?

  Professional eval systems can be quite good, but what I'd recommend is going over to adafruit.com. They have a massive amount of small embeddable boards, as well as i2c peripheral boards when you just need that extra function. They are very easy to prototype in CircuitPython but can also be programmed with Arduino. I know you want to avoid Arduino, so what you want for a more professional environment is...

  Many of the suggestions here fit those cases: the PI, the Arduino. I'd like to recommend that you look at the controllers from AdaFruit. I've seen that they do a substantial amount of work to ensure that their controller boards work well with the chips and displays that thye do. Source: about 1 year ago

If fluororapamycin works, and has 100 times dose potency, that is just 1.4 cents annually per Saudi Aramco shareholder. Source: 9 months ago

• As the Brand VP of Huanuo, I'm curious: Why Ergotron over Huanuo for your monitor arms?

  I totally agree with your opinion. It's unlikely for businesses to buy the office supplies online, they'd rather procure locally. I'm building a store at alibaba.com these days and hopefully we can find a local sales agent in every country, who will supply local channel. Source: 10 months ago
