The new TRAKR from Wild Planet is a very interesting mobile spy toy on its own, but it also has lots of hacking potential. Wild Planet is even embracing this hacking movement by providing documentation about all the platform features. Soon enough, this toy will be converted in a very inexpe
4S Systems Display Shields for Arduino 4D Systems has recently released four new Arduino Shields that allow their displays to be easily interfaced with the Arduino (or other shield-compatible microcontrollers). These shields allow the Arduino to display all sorts of full colour images (includ
