p.14: Mag-Levitated Spinning Globe Project: Arduino-Controlled Décor, By Herwig Taveirne

Editor’s note: In the article, we mistakenly said the STL files to print these parts yourself is available from Circuit Cellar’s article code and files webpage. They are not. The links for the STL files are as follows:
– Spider STL file: https://skfb.ly/6YZRD
– Globe rotation sensor assembly STL file:  https://skfb.ly/6YZSP

p.58: EMBEDDED IN THIN SLICES: FreeRTOS (Part 4): Inter-Process Communication, By Bob Japenga

References:
[1] “On the Criteria To Be Used in Decomposing Systems into Modules”  Communications of the ACM. Volume 15, Issue 12 from December 1972; pages 1021–1089. I highly recommend this paper. He provides an example simple project and decomposes it into five modules. Then he provides an alternative decomposition which practices information hiding. Take time with it until you understand the principle. The article is available here: http://sunnyday.mit.edu/16.355/parnas-criteria.html
