Things I've Built

Wavetek Model 650 2MHz Variable Phase Synthesizer

Among other tasks, I wrote the automatic calibration software for this device. The Model 650 is a 4 channel function generator. It's most important feature is the ability to precisely control the phase between the channels.

Embargo Arcade Video Game

"Embargo" arcade video game. (28 years old, 1976) This was my first job after graduating from college. I designed the hardware, built a prototype and wrote the software almost entirely by myself.

Tesla Coil

Three foot tall Tesla coil inspired by an article in Popular Electronics. (16 years old, 1965) No photo.

Rob's Turtle

Light-seeking robot (14 years old, 1963) Build based on an idea from the Carl & Jerry story, “The Lightning Bug” in November, 1963 Popular Electronics. http://www.copperwood.com/Carl_and_Jerry-V19N05-The_Lightning_Bug.pdf
