Book Description
Things fall apart, the centre cannot hold. That's why repair skills are so important! This month we're talking upcycling - the art of making beautiful new projects out of old junk.
Plus: what happens when your just-for-kicks project turns out to be something that loads of people want? We talk to Timon Skerutsch, creator of the Piunora, to find out. And can you use open source technology to keep satellites in orbit? Of course you can - we meet someone who'll tell you all about it.
- Sheet metal CAD
- Logic chips
- PCB buttons
- The smallest RP2040 board we've seen yet
