Interesting gizmo for monitoring your energy usage
Neat project, looks like setup could be painful as you go around your house and “mark” what breaker is attached to what. I didn’t find much on how to install it into your circuit panel either. http://www.wired.com/2015/02/tiny-gadget-plugs-house-monitors-power-use/ http://www.neur.io/

Nice CNC build for bigger stuff
I like this build, and that the author uses OpenRail with V-bar, or T-bar. Its pretty straight forward build and incorporates some bits of Shapeoko too. My 2 cents….not sure if I would build this, its running the author around … Continue reading
