In this step we will add the video module and optionally the sound module at that point you'll be able to run demos and games written specifically for this setup. Unless you want to run MSX BASIC or MSX games then you may want to stop there. RC2014 +...
KiCad & PCB Being my first PCB ever, I started from scratch with KiCad Like a Pro 3rd edition in Udemy which gave me a basic understanding both of Kicad 6 and of PCB design. The course author also has a playlist on his YouTube...
This picture is of my "indoor" seismometer, with its electronics in an antique wooden box next to it. It is networked and completely functional, but because of its noisy indoor location, it is not useful for any serious seismology. It is never quiet,...

With the communication system working, one of the final major tasks left was constructing the AUV. Our initial designs for the AUV were pretty simplistic, as we did not realize the enormity of the many mechanical challenges involved in getting a vehicle...
The Basics I found a plan on this website. It's not a bad start but the design misses a few key dimensions - we had to work out a few of them with a bit of maths. Still, it's something. We built the cabinet out of 12mm plywood which is quite strong,...
There are many methods to add extension sensing capabilities to a telescoping pole. We summarized seven unique sensing methods in our infographic image, comparing the pros and cons between the different methods. More details regarding each method are...
