Mario Marchese – författare

To get started, you'll need only what you can usually find in your home: items like paper, ziploc bags, index cards, coloring utensils, pencils, rubberbands, scissors, etc. As we progress in the world of making magic, we'll explore how to use 3D design tools like Tinkercad (you can register for a free account at tinkercad.com). You don't need a 3D printer in your home! Libraries, schools, and makerspaces around the world have 3D printers you can use! We'll explore simple programming using Arduino!

Learn robotics through magic, or enhance your magic with robotics! This book is a beginner's guide to creating robotics-infused magic. You'll be introduced to simple DIY electronics and Arduino programming, and you will learn how to use those tools to create a treasure trove of magic bots and effects, with readily-sourced materials and everyday objects. It's magic through the lens of the Maker Movement, with a dedication to accessibility -- cardboard meets Arduino meets magic! All ages, backgrounds, and abilities will find clever, fun projects within these pages that challenge their creativity and explode their imagination.

This book constitutes the proceedings of the International Conference on Personal Satellite Services (PSATS 2009) in Rome, Italy in March 2009. The 17 papers papers demonstrate recent advances in Internet applications over satellites, satellites technologies, and future satellite location-based systems.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of the Second International ICST Conference on Personal Satellite Services, PSATS 2010, held in Rome, Italy, Februray 2010. The conference included a keynote speech, 4 regular technical tracks and 4 special sessions consisting of 33 high-quality scientific papers. These cover various topics such as Satellite Communications: Coding and Modulations, Multimedia Integration, Satellite Network: Quality of Service and Architectures and Applications and Services, as well as Delay-Tolerant Networks, Quantum Satellite Communications, Access Quality Processing and Applications of Satellite Imagery.
