Raspberry Pi 3 + Kano OS = Eureka for Kids!
Hello everybody!
It's been a while that I do not post anything. My job is keeping me very busy and the kids are taking the rest of my time, so very few time for new projects.
However, I managed to join my hobbies with the interest of my older kid, and I ended up buying a Raspberry Pi for a second time. The first one I bought 3 or 4 years ago, was the first version I think, but I never found the time and a nice Linux Distro to dig into, so I ended up selling it again. This time I bought a Raspberry Pi 3, which ended up being a whole out of a computer!
I'm not going to write about the Raspberry Pi 3, you can find infinite blogs talking about it. I just wanted to share you the magical combo that I have found mixing the R-PI 3 and the very nice linux distro Kano OS (http://developers.kano.me/downloads/) based on Debian.

Gracias a la gente del grupo de Facebook de la Revista Lúpin (https://www.facebook.com/groups/32863048461/), pude conseguir este tesoro que es la colección completa de la revista Lúpin, los 499 números, mas todos los Suples anuales, los Suples Técnicos, las Tapas, y de yapa, todas las Pinlu.
El link de descarga del grupo de Facebook corresponde a un archivo ZIP con todas las revistas, lo que equivale a mas de 6 GB de revistuchas, así que lo que yo hice fue zippearlas de 50 en 50 para que sea mas fácil bajarlas, o por si acaso solo te faltan algunas, podás bajarte solo los paquetes con los números que te faltan, y no tengas que bajarte los 6 GB.

UPDATE 29/06/2016: I've checked the topic and the 4000€ promotion in Spain are coming from the "Plan PIVE", which is a program from the spanish government to incentivate the sell of "greener" cars. A part of those 4000€ are coming from the government, another part from the manufacturer.
I was playing the other day with the SEAT configurator for the new Seat Ateca in the austrian website of seat (www.seat.at) and I got curious to see how big could the price difference be in comparison to the same car, for instance, in Spain (www.seat.es), Germany or Italy.
Montage details of my Mountainbike starting from a spanish Conor ATX 2010
I had these old pictures in my hard drive from the transformation of my Conor ATX 2010 with 21" frame that was too big, into a 19" Thompson frame totally upgraded (only few components remaining from the Conor).
The original bike: a 26" Conor AFX 8500 with Suntour XCT fork, Shimano M486 hidraulic brakes and Shimano Alivio group.
Práctico regulador de tensión multiusos
Esto no es novedad alguna entre los "electrónicos", pero lo comparto igualmente para aquellos que no tengan tanto conocimiento de electrónica pero quieran animarse.
This project is no news for those of you more into the "electronics", but I share it anyway for those others that has not too much electronics practice and are looking for a challenge.
Lo que les traigo es un práctico regulador de tensión basado en el regulador LM317 para ser utilizado en multiples proyectos, pero yo lo he construido principalmente para poder intercalarlo entre baterías tipo Lipo de 2S, 3S o mas celdas y algún electrodoméstico que usa tensiones mas bajas (por ejemplo, una aspiradora de mano, que funcionaría con 3,7V, o sea, una lipo de 1 celda), o entre alguna fuente de mas de 18V y el cargador de Lipos IMAX B6 (que acepta hasta 18V en la entrada).
What I bring you here is a very useful voltage regulator based on the well know LM317 chip. I build this regultor with the intention of use it with Lipo batteries, so that I'm able to use big batteries with several cells with some tools or appliances normally driven by low voltage and not so life lasting NiMh batteries (like the hand-vacuum cleaners for instance). I used it as well to bring down the voltage of an adapter that I use for my IMAX B6 Lipo charger (which input voltage must be up to 18V).
También puede ser usado para reducir la tensión de la batería del
coche para algún equipo que use menos tensión (como esta misma
aspiradora por ejemplo).
It can be used as well in your car, to use some appliance with less than 12V (for instance, the same hand vacuum cleaner).
How to create a Windows 7 recovery USB Pendrive
Si tienes que recuperar Windows 7 en tu laptop/netbook y no tienes una unidad de DVD, te dejo luego del salto una forma comprobada de cómo generar un pendrive USB de recuperación de sistema, que te permitirá reescribir la MRB en caso de que, por ejemplo, hayas querido instalar Linux y luego te hayas arrepentido borrando las particiones.
If you need to recovery Windows 7 in your laptop/netbook but this one doesn't have a DVD reader, I leave here a tested procedure to generate a Win 7 recovery USB pendrive that will allow you to re-write the MRB (Master Boot Record) in the case that, for example, you've just regret from your Linux installation and deleted the partitions damaging the MRB.
