Fwd: [Electronics_101] Digiencabulator

Thought this might be of some interest in here... :-) ---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: [Electronics_101] Digiencabulator Date: Wednesday 23 April 2008 13:21 From: "Bob Hyland" <E101 at afterhoursit.com> To: Electronics_101 at yahoogroups.com FOLKS! In case anyone missed the recent announcement (on or about April 1st), Parallax has been working (in secret) on building a digital version of the original GE Turbo-Encabulator. Nuts & Volts magazine recently ran an article on the effort -- thereby breaking the veil of secrecy! I contacted N&V and obtained permission to post a link to the article that is hosted on their site: http://www.nutsvolts.com/media-files/905/042008-PersonalRobotics.pdf Their only request was that I post the link to the article instead of sending the article to people. So, if (and when) anyone passes along the article, please send the link and not the physical PDF file. Enjoy! Bob H. (moderator Electronics_101) P.S. Does anyone have the specifications handy for the original, 1962 version of the Turb-Encabulator? The best copy I could find is here: http://www.floobydust.com/turbo-encabulator/ge_turbo-encabulator.pdf ------------------------------------ Please trim excess when replyingYahoo!
