Part Two > Something I've been meaning to do for a while, creating a new version of my lighting controller to work with my home server and cut out external dependencies. v1 - ATMEGA328P (Uno) + Ethernet + Android/TaskerWorks, but fairly unreliable...
Inspired by #ESPecially Easy AVR Programming I started playing around with ESP-Link a bit. As mentioned in the readme you can point some programs (e.g. Avrdude, PuTTY) directly at the ESP8266's telnet socket but as far as I can tell most others (e.g....
Gather round folks and I will spin a yarn of confusion. So I acquired a Thurlby PL310 PSU (least that's what it said on the front) a while ago. It had an issue where the voltage adjustment at the low end (0-3V) was very jumpy: Although useable, I decided...
DRAFT - Please Ignore | Hackaday article coming up "The future is already here – it's just not evenly distributed," goes the clichéd William Gibson quote. Growing up on all the Cyberpunk literature and spending more-than-healthy amount of time obsessing...
@Paul Gallagher recently did a respin, or should that be a re-ring, of @Ted Yapo 's 20 year old clock project that used a PIC16F84. I thought the original and the tribute were fantastic projects and was curious about the software. As expected it's very...
(Updated for Arduino 2 IDE.) As all my friends know, my mugshot is used to illustrate the word lazy in dictionaries. 😉 Anyway I found this AVR MCU in my junkspares box and wanted to test it out. I quickly ascertained that I should install the...
To forestall any questions about how to get the IDE to compile code, Cube is just an IDE, which generates code specific to various STM32 MCU models and dev boards. You have to get a toolchain separately. The ones from the ARM gcc toolchain project are...
Preface A flux capacitor is a fictional device that was created in the award-winning trilogy of films Back to the Future. It is used to power a time travel machine called a DeLorean DMC-12. Flux capacitors are capable of breaking through space-time,...

1. Introduction At the end of my RMIT University engineering degree there were a number of 3-semester projects advertised to third year students. One of those projects was a post office automation system. I selected this project as my first preference....
Feature description The INRIKS EX4076KVM is a transmitter and receiver kit that allows HDMI and USB signals to be transmitted over twisted-pair cables for up to 230 feet. Specsheet claims the maximum supported video resolution is 4K at 60 Hz. The transmitter...
Happy bloody new year. In my last post, I mentioned that I was trying some new things. My long-gestating fan controller (Windy) finally taking physical form is exciting (if maybe a little slow), but I've got some other things on my plate that I'd like...
I've led an incredible life, one too incredible to keep telling, so I'm putting it all here in brief. Buried among the rest of my stuff it will tell my story until I'm ready to write my book. One day I will, but until then. Born Jan 1967, same year as...
