PRODUCT SHOWCASE
Returning to the Powerhouse Museum, Sydney, for its second year as
part of the opening weekend of Sydney
Design 2014, the Sydney Mini Maker
Faire is on Saturday 16 to Sunday 17
August.
Maker Faire is a family-friendly
showcase of invention, creativity and
resourcefulness, and a celebration of
the world-wide Maker movement, a
place where people show what they
Arduino-Programmable
IR Webserver
are making and share what
they are learning.
Maker Faires are primarily designed to be forwardlooking, showcasing Makers
who are exploring new
forms and new technologies. But it’s not just for the novel in
technical fields; Maker Faire features
innovation and experimentation
across the spectrum of science, engineering, art, performance and craft.

THE MUST-HAVE
REFERENCE
BOOK FOR
EVERY
WORKSHOP
OR SHED
Control,
locate and
protect
objects
K C S Tr a c e ME GPRS/GPS
Modules enable
you to remotely
track and trace
a variety of objects, from small
packages to cars,
trucks, containers or ships. Its small,
lightweight aluminium design makes
it easy to install and together with the
extended position logging, it’s ideal for
use in fleet management, anti-theft and
M2M applications.
The numerous I/Os allow monitoring and control of a range of external
hardware, like cameras and iButtons.
The KTA-294 IR
Webserver from
Ocean Controls
has primarily been
designed
to allow IR
controlled air
conditioning units
to be con- trolled via a mobile
internet enabled device. The IR Webserver can learn up to seven IR commands and transmit them on request
via a web page interface, as well as
displaying two temperatures from
sensors, primarily intended for indoor
and outdoor temperature display.
Though designed for air conditioning units, the device is not restricted
to them and can learn IR commands
with different protocols. A list of
tested devices is included with notes.
Source code for the IR Webserver
is provided and can be modified by
the user to work with a particular IR
protocol.
To enable control from outside a
home network port forwarding must
be enabled on the WAN router.
This 324 page
technical book
covers all you
need to know
about anything
you need to do in your workshop with indepth detailed explanations and step-by-step
illustrations on many activities.
So no matter what your profession or
qualification, anyone can relate to this book
as the technical information is written in a
simple and easy-to-understand format.
This is definitely not a book you read once;
it’s a book you pick up and refer to when
needing help or suggestions in pointing out
hidden traps to look out for in that particular
topic you want to know about.
There are 64 categories covering workshop setups, tools, measuring, fasteners,
metal and wood working, welding, machining
and plenty more,
The price is only $39.00, available from
all Hare & Forbes Machineryhouse branches
– Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth.

Precise BroadR-Reach
interface verification with
R&S RTO oscilloscopes
from Rohde & Schwarz
Rohde & Schwarz has expanded the
application field of the R&S RTO oscilloscopes to include the testing of automotive Ethernet interfaces. In line with the
OPEN Alliance test specification, the new
R&S RTO-K24 compliance test software
enables users to perform automated tests
on BroadR‑Reach Ethernet interfaces.
BroadR‑Reach technology makes it
possible to combine multiple applications
such as video streaming from rear view
cameras and signal transmission from
automotive radar systems to create a single, open and scalable Ethernet network
inside the vehicle.
