PRODUCT SHOWCASE Returning to the Powerhouse Museum, Sydney, for its second year as part of the opening weekend of Sydney Design 2014, the Sydney Mini Maker Faire is on Saturday 16 to Sunday 17 August. Maker Faire is a family-friendly showcase of invention, creativity and resourcefulness, and a celebration of the world-wide Maker movement, a place where people show what they Arduino-Programmable IR Webserver are making and share what they are learning. Maker Faires are primarily designed to be forwardlooking, showcasing Makers who are exploring new forms and new technologies. But it’s not just for the novel in technical fields; Maker Faire features innovation and experimentation across the spectrum of science, engineering, art, performance and craft.

Its small, lightweight aluminium design makes it easy to install and together with the extended position logging, it’s ideal for use in fleet management, anti-theft and M2M applications. The numerous I/Os allow monitoring and control of a range of external hardware, like cameras and iButtons. The KTA-294 IR Webserver from Ocean Controls has primarily been designed to allow IR controlled air conditioning units to be con- trolled via a mobile internet enabled device. The IR Webserver can learn up to seven IR commands and transmit them on request via a web page interface, as well as displaying two temperatures from sensors, primarily intended for indoor and outdoor temperature display. Though designed for air conditioning units, the device is not restricted to them and can learn IR commands with different protocols. A list of tested devices is included with notes. Source code for the IR Webserver is provided and can be modified by the user to work with a particular IR protocol. To enable control from outside a home network port forwarding must be enabled on the WAN router. This 324 page technical book covers all you need to know about anything you need to do in your workshop with indepth detailed explanations and step-by-step illustrations on many activities. So no matter what your profession or qualification, anyone can relate to this book as the technical information is written in a simple and easy-to-understand format. This is definitely not a book you read once; it’s a book you pick up and refer to when needing help or suggestions in pointing out hidden traps to look out for in that particular topic you want to know about. There are 64 categories covering workshop setups, tools, measuring, fasteners, metal and wood working, welding, machining and plenty more, The price is only $39.00, available from all Hare & Forbes Machineryhouse branches – Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth.

In line with the OPEN Alliance test specification, the new R&S RTO-K24 compliance test software enables users to perform automated tests on BroadR‑Reach Ethernet interfaces. BroadR‑Reach technology makes it possible to combine multiple applications such as video streaming from rear view cameras and signal transmission from automotive radar systems to create a single, open and scalable Ethernet network inside the vehicle.
