Transformers Animated

Based on the Cartoon Network’s animated television series, this well-crafted oneplayer Nintendo DS fighting title lets you take control of your favorite Autobot characters, including Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Bulkhead and Prow.
As you make your way through each level of the side-scrolling kids game, you collect the lost fragments of the Allspark before the Decepticons intercept it and claim Cybertron as their own. Got that? As you blast through Decepticon-controlled hoverbots, you try to solve puzzles and race through a futuristic Detroit — avoiding oncoming traffic while changing from robot to vehicle form. This makes perfect sense, if you’ve watched the show. Features include three game save slots.
Besides the cartoon violence on par with the show, there is no worrisome content. In short, this is another action-packed fighting game designed to extend and transform the Transformers into an interactive medium. Developed by Artificial Mind and Movement exclusively for the Nintendo DS.
Details: Activision, Inc. Ages: 7-up. Platform: Nintendo DS.

Designing a PCB

One of the things I wanna learn this month is to build hardware circuit on a pcb with commercial CAD software which are used to build circuits. The coolest thing about PCB software is that you can actually simulate a circuit without making the real hardware circuit. and it helps you analyze faults before you produce your circuit. I had designed a small PCB for SPI interface of an MMC/ SD card to a microcontroller. It was easy to design as there was no special circuitry needed for except for a few optional pull up resisters which should be used if the BUS is in open drain mode. If it is in push pull mode then there is no need of using pull up resistors. It all depends on which microcontroller we are using. If we are using a low end microcontroller like a PIC which is cheap we must use a Pull up on the data lines of the SPI bus. On the other hand if we use a High end microcontroller, it may provide options so that we dont need pull-ups. Overall PCB design a must learn thingy if you are into hardware and serious about becoming a hardware engineer.
