Background If you have been following Hackaday for a while, you will have seen on numerous occasions the KENBAK-1, regarded by many as the first commercial personal computer. Ten years ago Mark Wilson introduced KENBAK-uino, a reproduction...
IntroductionThe intention is to introduce PIC32 into ece4760 in the Fall 2015 semester. This is a start at understanding how the chip works. The general way to learn this processor is to look at examples which come with the MPLAB distrubution, Use the...
Recent achievements:Battery build: Orthophotomaps: Simple mapArea measurementsMap with elevation data Endurance flight: Project: As the name of the project implies, I wanted to come up with a free-to-share UAV concept for a capable plane...
There's a lot of small detailed steps to this setup, but most are common things you'd be doing with each component individually.. ie: setting up Linux on the beaglebone.. connecting solar to batteries, through the charge controller. This is all basic...
IntroductionVaporization is done by off-the-shelf ultrasonic atomizers, either really cheap ones (the black ones in the picture below, 2.50 $ each) or some more rigid ones (the silver one, a Fogstar 300, 290 € each), air is moved by an array of...
The idea behind this project was for my sons birthday party. He wanted a robot themed party, so I figured this would be the easiest to build. Similar to the commercial claw machines, the idea is to grab a toy and successfully get it transferred over...
