Teeny Web Server is Smaller Than a Business Card, and Way More Useful

12:15AM Kit Eaton | Hackaday’s running a cute little electronics project at the mo (well, if you think electronics can be cute) which shows you how to build a fully working web server on a circuit board no bigger than a business card, in plan at least. It’s capable of serving up web pages and files and instead of using tricky-to-access EEPROMs it runs from code stored on a FAT-formatted SD card—easily accessible by PC. Check it out: it’s pretty fascinating, and is a project you can follow…assuming you’re darn good at delicate soldering work, and are into DIY electronics. Just don’t go sewing the board to any clothing. [Hackaday via BBG] More »

DIY Scrolling LED Business Cards Miss Point of Business Cards, Still Cool

11:45PM Kit Eaton | Over at Instructables is this DIY project that will let you make your own slender electronic business cards with built-in LED display. They’re pretty cool, displaying a number of different scrolling data messages at the push of a button, and apparently cost just about US$5 per card. The “slender” description means you’ll have to be good at soldering surface-mount components, though. To me it’s a cool project that will impress people, but kinda misses the point of business cards: easily disseminating your contact info. An LCD QR-code business card— now that’s something I’d fancy. Head over to Instructables if you’ve got the LED maker-urge. [Instructables] More »
