Wow this is an interesting hack :

Twitter inventor with new start up for processing credit card
transactions on an iPhone. Get this the car swiper dongle connects to
the iPhone via the audio input jack! That I think is a cool idea for
a couple of reasons:

1) transmitting data over an audion connector - thats smart.

These guys have been working really hard to make this happen, its an
interesting twist for the Arduino market, Well done Larry and the crew.

Group Update and interesting items

I know it's been a little quite on the group recently apologies, I've
been up to my neck in both work, research and DIY at home..

Looking to arrange a meetup shortly (sorry been slacking), if you have
any ideas let me know.

Here are some interesting items I thought I would share:

Farnell and Microchip have a training event on the 1st December which

They have also trying to get the RepRap to build its own circuitry :

Paul you might also be interested in MakerBot :

It doesn't have the same lofty goals of self reproduction but it is a
very good 3d printer that was a fork from RepRap.

Just in case you have not seen this fab project. I had not. Have
now. Please Santa...

If you can print with cement then you might be able to print a
conductive paint, hack an inkjet cartridge a give it a go on your
inket printer!

This stuff is spray gunnable.

Adrian,

Yes, it seems that fixing demisters etc. is currently the main way
that conductive paints are sold. I've just bought some but haven't
tried it yet.

Thanks for the replies Al, Adrian

Yes. Kits like snap-circuits are one of the inspirations. It should be
easy for kids to play and learn electronics with something like this.
And similarly the little-bits project is heading in the direction I
want.

But the price and form-factor is still wrong. The components need to

How about using magnetics to assemble the components like this

But more 2D of course, would that be permanent enough or our you thinking
glue?

Are you thinking this kind of thing :

But more 2D rather Than 3D ?

Actually I nearly forgot you can actually get conductive glues but I have
never used them, but remember reading about them.

You could use vero/strip board to make permanent your breadboard design
without going having to design and create PCBs, but that involves soldering
.

Getting good conduction could be an issue, especially from the stickers to
the conductive ink/paint. The stickers would need metallic edges (foil?).
