Back in School...

I am back from Japan with lots of cool parts; I got enough stuff so that I can keep myself busy for the next year until I go to Japan again.

I got an LCD screen, a zif socket, and an 8x8 LED matrix at Akizuki.

At Marutsu I got a 2-axis accelerometer (the one in the picture is the 3-axis accelerometer they sell).

I also found some the small motors that are used to make our phones vibrate.

I got more pic parts and some books to help me learn about connecting micro controllers to computers.

When I was in Japan I bought more things than I show here, but they're not that interesting.

Winter Break!

Winter break will be starting in several days and soon I will be taking the early morning flight to Japan! I can finally go to Akihabara again. This year I will probably look for parts that can't be found in Radioshack anymore like capacitors with very small capacitances and variable capacitors.
