Get a metal enclosure, drill holes for 2 connectors - 1 BNC and another one of your choice for 5V power.Drill another 2 holes on the other side - one for the Enable Switch and one for an optional multiturn 5K potentiometer (do not populate footprint...
Start with the fun bit! Here's a short Organiser II buying guide I produced myself - consult the websites for more detailed/informed insights... There are four models of Organiser II - all should work with this project. I own two Organisers - a 1988-89...
In the arduino code set your WiFi credentials char wifissid[] = "ENTER YOUR WiFi SSID HERE"; char wifipass[] = "ENTER YOUR WiFi PASSWORD HERE"; Normally, the signal strength is displayed in dBm. But for a non techie person, the signal strength in terms...

The Arduino Micro Pro doesn't like to play with [Ken Shirriff]'s infrared library. [Link]Follow the instructions for installing this library. Once the library is installed, it must be modified to work our hardware. This troubled me and I followed forums...
Flash the Arduino with the following sketch. This is also included as a file attached to the project. int last_level = 0; bool last_state = false; bool stable = false; int count = 0; const int cutoffs[198] = {/* 1*/ 833, 831, /* 2*/ 825, 823, /* 3*/...
In order to decode the 23 bytes of payload that the sensor is sending we need to implement a decoder, in this case we need to create one custom. Once you select to create a custom decoder you just simply copy and paste the next code which is written...
Step 3 - Build major footprints: Costing the available board area requires building the major footprints and placing them on the PCB. Built early footprints and placed to determine what additional space is avail. Files in git.
Yate(Yet Another Telephony Engine):Answering Google Voice calls that are forwarded to Google chat is tricky if you don't want to use the Gmail chat application. I found the most functional results were achieved by using Yate, to create an SIP server...
As you can see in the picture, the screen is glued onto the PCB with a thick piece of aluminium between them. Now we have to remove the LCD screen and plate from the motherboard. This is tricky. You must be extremely careful, because the LCD is made...
Now is a good time to cut your EL panel down to size. Lay the LCD on top of it and trace around it with a marker. I chose to have the leads going out the right side (facing the front of the screen). You can cut the EL panel with scissors. You might want...
Now we need to get the metal plate off of the screen. This is the most dangerous part of the project. Get some rubbing acohol and pour it into the holes in the back of the plate. This will help dissolve the adhesive holding it to the screen. I let the...
