CAD files for the initial design concepts have been posted to the project blog already. More information will be available from the project blog shortly. Stay tuned on this one.

New BUG modules announced

without comments

Bug Labs announced five new module for their BUG platform at CES. Two excite me in particular. The BUGprojector is a mini-DLP projector and allows you to project the output of the BUG to a wall. And, finally, a WIFI module is available, which was perhaps the biggest omission from the platform when it was first introduced. Now I am looking forward to getting my hands on one.
