The ELB REV4 Provides a powerful and flexible selection across the full spectrum of applications. For example, specs like the -40 to 85 c temperature range peripherals make it ideal for industrial applications like telecom, automotive, control systems,...
This project is inspired by the nostalgia for portable devices like USSR "Электроника МК-90" and Texas instruments TI-92. END USER REQUIREMENTS (An Ultimate Hacking Machine):o Retro look and feel. PWR,...
So, what resources do we have that would let us figure out the workings of these LED panels? It's clear that there's more going on than just LEDs and batteries, but what, exactly? In August I learned that there are pretty hi-res photos of the boards!...
Short Summary This solar powering unit is a time switching battery powered solar charged circuit, used to power an Arduino Uno and some peripherals. The solar powering unit presented here is energy efficient. When we talk about Arduino, it consumes lots...
The story so far... Update: Row scanning working.Known/working: Building and loading via JTAG new firmware into the main FPGA. This firmware is starting from scratch, we don't understand much yet about the default Barco firmware, although we've dumped...
A clock built with eight authentic soviet vacuum fluorescent display (VFD) tubes, a custom designed circuit board, firmware and 3d-printed case It is an evolution of Phalanx. Many of the firmware improvements made for Ameise also trickled down to Phalanx...
IntroductionBlue Basic is a heavily modified port of the TinyBasic interpreter developed to run on the Texas Instruments CC2540 and CC2541 Bluetooth LE chips (BLE) (see http://www.ti.com/product/CC2540 and http://www.ti.com/product/CC2541).MotivationIf...
Perhaps one of the strangest projects I've ever put together -- I present to you, a build of the Vintage Coin-Operated Graphing Calculator from the hilarious Onion Article. I love the Onion, and recently I came across one of their articles that talks...
Briefly about architecture and instruction set - it is 8-bit design with 8 registers: 000 - 0 (always zero) 001 - A (accumulator) 010 - B 011 - C 100 - D 101 - E 110 - F (flags and 3 higher bits for jumps) 111 - G (8 lower bits of program counter) Flags...
What if I told you it was possible to SAFELY use ANY SmartPhone as a robot brain? On any smartphone with a browser, load a freely hosted github.com webpage with Javascript that blinks areas on the screen to send motor commands to an e.g. Arduino....
Story This project will tell you how to make a simple and minimal controller for a remote-controlled car or robot made using Arduino. The controller supports the forward, backward, left and right movement along with the clockwise and anti-clockwise movement....
I was working on a project for the R&D department where I work in my spare time to make a project proposal for a new product that included industrial pH sensors and a lot of secret sauce.The survival of a project is about profit margins and using a $25...
I bought 2 different readout displays with the aim of figuring how to light them up using modern LED technology and microcontrollers, and eventually build some clocks / timers resembling the original units in the firing room. At over $200 per digit it...
