Introduction To run some of my micro-controller projects I needed a constant supply of 5v. The LM78 series of linear regulators are very useful and comes in a good range of regulated voltages(5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 15, 18, 24). Bill of Materials LM7805 – 5V Linear Voltage Regulator – Digi-Key – Datasheet 0.33uF Capacitor … Read More →
What happens when Mad Lab Industries mixes a Hexapod and a Hexcopter?!?!? We joked at work about using Quad-copters as couriers. Maybe not to far off… 😛

A few months ago I discovered a really cool Kickstarter project that developed a new type of Aluminium Extrusion. The aim was to get away from the current setup where the extrusions are cheapish and T-nuts that fit the extrusions are costly. Basically its just a marketing strategy where they sell you the extrusions at … Read More →
This little extension is very handy to join all the little Openbeam off cuts. It has internal grooves that align the two Openbeam extrusions for a perfect link. The design is can be downloaded from Thingiverse.com and printed. We also have a range of other items on Thingiverse.com that might interest you. http://www.thingiverse.com/protoneerconz
Recently I was busy building a nice case for an Arduino and I needed the dimensions to make the correct mounting holes. I found this handy diagram online and though I would share it with everyone. UPDATE: Here are some more drawings that include the pin layouts as well. We recommend the following books: Getting … Read More →
