A tutorial about the Atlanta Robotics Dual HBridge Motor Drive. This is a demonstration and test of the STMicroelectronic’s VNH2SP30-E. Compare to SparkFun’s “Monster Moto Shield” and Polulu’s “Dual VNH5019 motor driver”. This video is also applicable to the Monster Moto Shield in operation. Some features may not be available on the Monster Moto Shield. More info and purchase of this product can be found at www.Atlanta-Robotics.com

This is a German train bridge painted by street artist ‘Megx’ to look like it was constructed out of giant LEGO bricks. Sure it’s not as impressive as a train bridge actually made out of LEGO blocks, but I imagine train passengers wouldn’t be too thrilled about that. Except me. I actually would be thrilled about that. *lifts hands over head like on a rollercoaster* CHOO-CHOO — LET’S DO THIS THING!

While we can’t say that we universally liked Dell’s first attempt at an Ultrabook, the XPS 13 we reviewed about three months ago, we can quite confidently say that it earned our respect. Here was a smartly styled, sophisticated machine free of stickers and bloatware from a company that, let’s be honest, has delivered its share of each over the years. That machine was far from perfect, but it showed a purity of vision in design that you couldn’t help but acknowledge.
So where do you go from there? Why, you go bigger of course. Meet the new Dell XPS 14, successor in name only to a model that went out of production over a year ago. It is, as you might have guessed, an inch larger than the XPS 13 and so has more room for ports and pixels — but there’s more to it than that. In some ways this feels like a more polished machine than the 13 that came before, and it’s certainly faster but it, too, is far from perfect. Join us for a joyous exploration of why.

Welcome to Computex 2012, the coming-out party for Intel’s Ivy Bridge CPU refresh and Microsoft’s Windows 8 operating system. The two halves of an irresistible hardware-software combination that has dominated the PC world for so long that it has its own nickname — Wintel — came together in Taipei this week to once again reaffirm their supremacy. And AMD just stood on the sidelines, watching and scratching its head.
Think about all the marquee devices launched by the likes of Acer and Asus at this show — were any of them AMD-based? The day-zero media blitz from the local Taiwanese vendors and their international competitors was almost exclusively Intel-powered, and where it wasn’t, it was because ARM-based processors were starting…

Sony has announced a refresh of its VAIO S Series laptops, along with a pair of new E Series models. The S Series will come with a choice of 13.3- and 15.5-inch displays; the 15.5-inch model has a 1080p IPS screen, while the 13.3-incher doesn’t have its resolution specified — we’re going to go ahead and assume that, like the previous generation S Series, it’ll max out at 1600 x 900. The larger model will feature a 22nm Ivy Bridge Core i7-3612QM 2.1GHz quad-core processor, 8GB of RAM, and an Nvidia GeForce GT 640M LE discrete GPU, alongside Intel’s HD Graphics 4000 integrated chip. There’s a generous 1TB of storage on board, along with Bluetooth 4.0, two USB 3.0 ports, a single USB 2.0 port, and a 1.31-megapixel webcam. Both models will…

As intrigued as we were by the Netgear R6300′s high-bandwidth chops, it won’t be the one to claim the early 802.11ac WiFi crown with a shipping product. That distinction is instead going to a Buffalo AirStation router and a matching bridge, both of which should be on shelves now. Either can hit the eye-watering 1.3Gbps peak speed of the standard if you get cozy on the 5GHz band — and if you have a computer or mobile device that recognizes the spec, for that matter. The duo still has a more leisurely paced 2.4GHz, 450Mbps WiFi option as well as a quartet of Ethernet jacks if you prefer your gigabit speeds the old-fashioned way. Both the router and the bridge will set you back $ 180 each, so there’s not much of a penalty versus high-end alternatives to satisfy your need for network speed.

Cupertino is unsurprisingly tight-of-lip on when it plans to add Ivy Bridge to its desktop and laptop line, but we think that’s not far off: we’ve even seen some benchmarks. Now, in a move that smacks of inventory clearing but could equally mean nothing, Best Buy has hacked between $ 20 and $ 200 from its Mac Mini, iMac, Mac Pro and MacBook Pro offerings. If you’re into a bargain, then head down to your nearest big blue-and-yellow store — and we’ll let you know as soon as we see the yellow sticky-note.

If Sony’s German site is to be believed, then it’s safe to say the outfit’s had a change of heart recently. According to a revealing spec sheet on the website, there’s now a T13 Ultrabook model with one of Intel’s latest chips on board. Just last week, Sony announced the Euro-bound T13 would be sporting a last-gen Core i3-2367M CPU, but the recent finding shows an i5-3317U variant (you know, the one on Sammy’s Series 9) could be in the works. Still, it’s unknown whether this Ivy Bridge-packing VAIO would replace its Sandy Bridge sibling or if it’s just going to be a complete different offering. We’ll have to wait and see.

Rather than leaving customers out in the cold with recently outdated hardware, Alienware is offering free Intel Ivy Bridge processor upgrades for notebook orders placed before last month’s M14x, M17x, and M18x refresh. Customers with outstanding orders are being notified via email that their machine is being upgraded to the Ivy Bridge equivalent to the Sandy Bridge processor they originally selected. The upgrade comes at no additional charge and, most importantly, no delay to their original delivery date. According to representatives, the Ivy Bridge upgrade program is exclusive to Alienware and will not apply to other Dell products.
Update: Origin PC just reached out to us to let us know it has also been upgrading all outstanding Sandy…

Sure, you may need to shop around to find a replacement for that 11-inch number Dell pulled off the shelves, but that doesn’t mean you need to miss out on a free Ivy Bridge upgrade. Origin PC tells us that it’s offering the very same silicon swap as Dell to folks who pulled the trigger on any of its laptop and desktop PCs before Intel’s big launch. If your order hasn’t shipped yet, you’re looking at an upgrade. Now if only we could find a manufacturer willing to hand out free GPU upgrades.
