CNC Router Test PCB Made

The first real test of the CNC Router milling a printed circuit board took place this week and the results so far are very encouraging. The PCB design is part of a suite of hardware required for a research project. This involves the development of a Science grade Arduino we have called Scienceduino , it CNC Router Test PCB Made

What’s happening to computer hardware, and what does it mean for systems software?

The first set of Computer Science Distinguished Lectures in 2015 will be given by Prof Mothy Roscoe of ETH Zurich, 09:15–15:30 on Thursday 2nd April in the Byre Theatre. Computer systems are not what they used to be, and the days when a machine could be described as a processor, some memory, and some I/O What’s happening to computer hardware, and what does it mean for systems software?
