Retro computing is a good reminder of how far things have improved, but to go back there? I have yet to own any computer that I have felt that I have exhausted all possibilities to learn and interact with. My work as a teacher for 36 years usually mandated...
Essential Tremors (ET) is a neurological disorder that causes involuntary and rhythmic shaking or movement of the hands, legs, face, head, or vocal cords. The cause of Essential or Idiopathic Tremors is still not completely understood. There is...
After receiving the card I took a look at the website and saw a firmware update utility (FAFWUpdateTool_v10004) and from my previous research this was possibly the key to figuring out more to this device. So I installed it and read through the documentation...
Since utilizing the mouse involves monotonous movements of the same small muscle groups for protracted periods of time, overusing the mouse by positioning, traveling, scrolling, and clicking can make these muscle groups tired and overworked. Hence, after...
Micro controller and logging The readily available and cost effective Arduino UNO was used as the logging device micro controller. However using only the Arduino and exernal sensors poses two problems. Firstly the internal EEPROM is only 1024 bytes....
New SDuino variant. I would call it "SDuino-Qi", wireless power transfer system embedded SDuino! Details can be found in daily log!Now SDuino is on your wristDetails can be found in daily log. Please check it....=======================================I...
History I have a Raspberry Pi 1B from 2012. I thought it would make a nice X terminal but it turned out to be too weak for that. I have also used it as a print server and CD writer server with dubious success. Eventually it got superseded by a Raspberry...
Easy Raspberry PI Cluster Setup with Cloudmesh SDCard Burner Set up many SD Cards that are preconfigured to create PI clusters.By Gregor von Laszewski (laszewski@gmail.com, laszewski.github.io), Richard Otten, Anthony Orlowski | 2021.02.07NOTE:...
The IdeaAfter watching Ladyada's intro video to the Pi Zero contest (see it here if you haven't already), I was thinking about what might be an interesting project with a Raspberry Pi Zero.Somehow the idea for a mobile text reader for visually impaired...
Easy Raspberry PI Cluster Setup with Cloudmesh from MacOS Set up many SD Cards directly from MacS that are preconfigured to create PI clusters.By Gregor von Laszewski (laszewski@gmail.com, laszewski.github.io), Richard Otten, Anthony Orlowski...
The idea is to make a smart lamp that can dim and switch five sets of leds, and one 230v dimmable bulb. The microcontroller detects the phase of the ac after the transformer. This will be used for both the dimming of the ac bulb. It will also...
Someone close to me has a terminal neurological condition. Over the next decade or so, they will begin to lose who they are but, in the present, it's causing them to faint at random. The doctor's don't know what it is and, so, they don't know how to...
The ROM images are currently stored in the parallel Flash memory of the board.I plan to add support for SD-Card, and find a way to connect either original pads or USB pads, so it would be possible to actually play games. As it will require some extra...

It's intended as an educational toy for my 2 year old son. The idea is that he plays with letters and numbers and eventually spelling and maybe even math.As mentioned above, there is a PS/2 keyboard attached to an ATMega328-P programmed using Arduino....
