FOR KIDS. AND SENIOR EE’S.

With two buttons and an LED, the book explores six basic computer logic gates, including WIRE, NOT, OR, AND, XOR and a LATCH. The book uses light sensors to detect which page is open and change the operands accordingly.

Please take a moment to ask yourself honestly if you:

  • have a baby

  • are planning on having a baby

  • are interested in computer engineering

  • will be attending a baby shower in the next 1-6 months

  • have a friend that looks like they might have a baby

  • are planning to be interested in computer engineering

  • know a computer engineer that acts like a baby

  • skipped the first two days of CE150

  • are learning how to read

If you fall into any of these categories, then you should definitely get a few of these.

The default US shipping option is USPS Media Mail (6-8 business days).

UK & CA orders ship from fulfillment centers within the country and generally take 2-3 business days.

NL, DE, and BE orders, that ship from the Netherlands and generally take 3-4 business days.

All other countries you can expect it to take anywhere from 1-6 weeks. Generally EU countries are closer to 2 weeks (and ship under the IOSS scheme, so you shouldn't have to pay any extra taxes or fees). Australia is usually about two weeks. While Norway and Sweden seem to usually take at least 6 weeks.

Some small issues.

After I received the product, I have tested it.

I have noticed that when I press the (big round) buttons, the contact was not 100% reliable. In those situations when the LED was supposed to turn on, with the corresponding button(s) pressed the same way, the LED light was glowing intermittently. I like the dimensions of the button(s) but they did not work very reliably (at first). This sucked for a while, but later on, this problem disappeared.

I have also found some non-transient bug.
When
- the product rests and goes to sleep
- then I pick it up and (before pressing any button) I open it up on the "OR" page
- and then press the upper (red) button
then the LED does not switch on.

Imagine that someone picks up the product, flip it to page OR, press the upper red button and nothing happens. Embarassing.

The LED switches on when I press the bottom (yellow) button.
After releasing this bottom yellow button, the upper red button works normally.

Overall, I like the idea but my particular product has some potential for improvement.

I got invited to a baby shower....

"Okay, uh do you have a gift registry I can check?" I asked.

"Don't worry about, it's more a housewarming party. Oh - perhaps you can bring something geeky," was the reply.

"I know just the thing!"

They'll be impressed....

baby and I love it

Fun book, baby loves to see the light go on and off.
Button battery in the back behind a flap but secured with a screw - It was not obvious to me so just mentioning this in case this is a concern to other people too.

The battery is secured with a screw. If you open the back flap, there is a screw driven into the circuit board preventing the battery from being removed without first removing the screw. But yeah, it's not obvious, so I've changed to using a plastic battery cover for new versions of the book.
