Let me start off with a statement of the obvious! Everyone on this site knows about solderless breadboards. What I’m going to describe in this article though is their Big Brother optical equivalent. Way back in the early 2000s I was playing around...
Introduction In the past, I have undertaken projects involving portable oscilloscopes with high-speed ADCs (as seen in RPScope). However, in this endeavor, I am committed to streamlining the electronics to the utmost extent and utilizing only the capabilities...
the Vref generator can be used as a DAC (pin 25 on PIC32MX250F128B). While 4-bits of dynamic range is not going to hack it for playing back Grateful Dead albums, it is good enough for a quick sound effect or medium quality voice production. There are...
Programming abstraction for Linux absolute hardware addresses The main abstraction from the programming view is to map virtual addresses used by Linux during program execution to physical addresses of memory mapped peripherials. I assume that we are...

Background When we think about the dawn of the personal computer era, names like Apple, Commodore, Radio Shack, and Sinclair come to mind. That's because these companies were the big winners in this new market, selling millions of personal computers...
Some of these are pretty briefly-explained here, but may be better-explained elsewhere (especially in my own code)... if you've questions, feel free to ask! Table Of Contents: Storing data across resets without using EEPROM/FLASH (use EEAR(L/H)... or...
I. Abstract The proposed project, "Rook, Ma, No Hands!", introduces a smart chess board with an automated piece movement system, piece sensing subsystem, and the ability to play games against an AI opponent. This project aims to elevate the game...

The project got off to a start when a teachers husband wanted a rotating table for a little duck pond to be used in the schools carnival.In a scurry I ran to the shop and started digging through the miscellaneous parts I have accumulated over the years....
5/15/14: These OLED displays seems to be part of the button deck and they will look great on any project. Also, the OLED Screen is surrounded by 8 RGB LEDs. I love displays and OLEDs are such a beauty because they have very wide viewing angle and superb...

he idea of this project is to create an open source drone platform that can be easily hackable. It uses the last powerful Atmel's microntroller @300Mhz, the SAME70. Actually it will embed two of them. The dual SAME70 uC handles the computing (stabilization,...
About the code To emulate fire, I started testing with no particular idea in mind. In the beginning, I try to send some analog values for the RED and GREEN channel on the led with a fixed delay.But in some cases, red was too low and green was high,...
The UA-25 has two balanced AC-coupled inputs, some analog signal processing elements (mic/line preamps with optional phantom power, gain setting, optional limiter). I opened the UA-25 and looked for the ADC. I found it to be the part "IC1", an AKM AK5381....
