Hey Makers! Several of you have asked me to do mail bags when I get parts, so you asked, I delivered!
This is my first ever mailbag, and I am sure I screwed something up lol. Let me know what you think in the comments.
Here are links to everything I have shown in this video, no they are not affiliate links, I am not that cool yet.

I kept seeing ads on facebook for kits by GeekCreit, and I was reminded of the old Heath Kit builds I had seen as a child.
So I decided to order some, on this live stream we will build the calculator I ordered, I will review the kit, and see how well the end device performs.
Fair warning, looking at the schematic, I may hack in some modifications to make the kit better :)
If you want to get one of these kits yourself, here is the link (non affiliate)

A lot of the projects we do on Mikey's Lab are powered by a Raspberry Pi; these cheap and easily available devices make for a great starting point for just about any maker project. Instead of explaining the same steps over and over for each of our projects, I have collected them here. This video will get the Raspberry Pi booting to a common place for all of our projects to start from. In the video I use a Raspberry Pi 2 model B but these steps apply to all the Raspberry Pi's except the compute module.

Today in the lab we are building a 3D Printed NodeMCU powered play button that celebrates every single subscriber!
This project was inspired by Rumble Labs,

With this video we are continuing an awesome build.
We are going to be building an internet aware, Bluetooth enabled 8x8x8 led cube.
In this video we begin assembling the layers of the cube!
I know it is long, but there is a lot of detail in the video :)
So lab coat up! We are going to learn something today!
The videos that have inspired the build, are linked below.

In our third maker talk video, I look at the idea of buying skill. This was first put forward to me by Makers Muse. I agree with his stand point, however many of my friends disagree. Let me know in the comments what you think.

~Sorry I disappeared for a few days there, I was commissioned to do a custom build, good news is, we have videos from it!~
In today's video we look at the physical build of the classic arcade and console gaming table, made from a Ikea LACK series table!
Part 2: we are going to dive into the electronics, first featuring the raspberry pi, design the power system and build everything inside the table itself, leaving only one cable going to the table! Part 2 will be available on Monday.
Part 3: We will look at setting up the imx.6 board, and go over the differences between the installation for it versus the raspberry pi.
This video should be up by Wednesday.
Part 4: Finishing touches and add-ons!

Recently Maker Media has become insolvent, and laid off all of their employers. While many have already chimed in on the effects of this on the maker community, I figured I would too.
Some people have been saying this is a huge blow to maker culture, I disagree, while it is sad to see such a titan go, I dont think it will really have an impact in the long run.
