Ian stephenson commented on Brian McLaughlin's project 'The GeekDad Arduino Guide'"The first thing I did with mine was hook it up to Bluetooth. The WiFi shield is cool, but BT is much cheaper and simpler. As usual the board came without ANY instructions, so I put together the following from a few websites and…"
Brian McLaughlin replied to Erik Wecks's discussion 'Relativity for Science Fiction Writers'"Shoot, wish there was a way to edit a post. in the last two equations, at the very end, it shouldn't be:
cv_cruise
It should just be v_cruise. This is of course found by taking your % of the speed of light and multiplying by the speed of light,…"
Brian McLaughlin replied to Erik Wecks's discussion 'Relativity for Science Fiction Writers'"Oops, meant to reply to your message. Hopefully, a helpful response is below. :-)
Cheers!"
Brian McLaughlin replied to Erik Wecks's discussion 'Relativity for Science Fiction Writers'"A couple questions to get this started. Do you want the entire journey, including acceleration and deceleration, to be 5.5 years ship time, so 4 years ship-time at cruise speed?
The distance traveled while accelerating over a period of time gets…"

Kathy Ceceri commented on Brian McLaughlin's project 'The GeekDad Arduino Guide'"I would love to take one of SparkFun's classes, if they weren't halfway across the country. I need to find me a hackerspace/Makerspace in my area. I'm a visual learner, I need to see someone do it to figure it out."
