Ohio Linux Fest

GfxHax will be at the Ohio Linux Fest in Columbus, this Saturday (Sept 11th).  We are sharing a vendor table with DualCore and I plan on bringing all the stuff I have from our online store.  I will have plenty of Drink Shield kits and will bring the newest alpha release of the DrinkDuino Game [...]

Welcome Little Devil

GfxHax now carries the Diavolino boards (aka. little devil kits) from Evil Mad Science.  These are small, cost-effective Arduino clones.  GfxHax offers a power kit for the Diavolino boards, specifically designed for optimal performance with the Drink Shields.  If you’d like, you can add a DC Jack kit with an enhanced voltage regulator and a [...]

DrinkShield Straw Holder

I posted my first thing on Thingiverse!!  This is a DrinkShield straw holder.  Turns out when people drink several of them like to put their lips on the MQ-3 sensor…which is a bit hot, since it’s a heater.  So I created this free straw holder in OpenScad!  You can download all the plans and the [...]

Forum is Up

Ok, the phpBB forum is up and running.  It’s still ugly but it should be functional.  I believe I have wordpress login integration working.  So if you have an account with the blog it should create an account automatically for you in phpBB.  Eventually I will create a full style to support complete integration but [...]

SVN Updated

I’ve added the Eagle source files for both the board and schematic to Google Code for the DrinkShield.  I also uploaded the uber-alpha version of the DrinkDuino Game.  It is playable but a lot of graphics still need to be worked on and I don’t have webcam support added yet.  But if you can’t wait [...]

Store is Open

The Store is now officially opened.  Hopefully everything is working properly!  We also have DrinkSheilds!!  You can buy those as well as some other supplies in the store.  Also if you stop by the Cincinnati Hackerspace Hive13 when I’m there I can sell you one as well.  I also plan on being at the Ohio Linux [...]

New DrinkShield Kits have arrived!!

The first batch of DrinkShield boards showed up on my doorstep last night. We will be assembling a few kits and will start working on tutorials and preparing for classes. Once the online store is fully tested we will start selling there as well.

Hive13 Shirts

Just in time for the Hive13 One Year Anniversary party!  GfxHax has some nice swag that was originally designed for some upcoming conferences but we put in a rush order and had a batch made for the party!  Very excited about the new designs.  The designs fall under the creative commons license and the original SVG will soon be [...]

New Look

We are trying out our new look!  We dove back into the CSS mix and hopefully this time the look will work across more browsers and interfaces.  This has been tested with most of the Open Source browsers with different resolutions and it seems to hold up fairly well.  My apologies if it doesn’t work with IE [...]
