Another real-time update: The Cat-644 is no longer a naked circuit board. The two boards fit side by side inside a compact wooden case. I could have just put the circuit board in a box, and connect it through a KVM to my existing keyboard...
Just wanted to add a final log to this project. It's been a while since I've spent any time on this. In the last 10 months I've moved away from working with the TI chips and instead are using the Nordic nRF51/2 chips. The motivation was partly because...
After much playing about with the colourduinos ive decided to go for the neopixel 8x8 matrices, they are more expensive and have a less desirable pixel layout (not square and further apart) but a hell of a lot easier to actually do something useful with.after...
So I have't updated in awhile. I haven't lost interest or anything (quite the opposite).Full story:My hackspace(where I'm building this) got evicted a couple months ago. Everything got thrown into turmoil. A little while later, I got a frantic text message,...
Back when I acquired the NXT, it ran on 6AA batteries, so I bought a charger and an 8-pack of ~2500 mAh batteries.The charger had 4 slots, so this allowed me to have 2 always in the charger and 6 in the NXT. When it came time to recharge the batteries,...
Hey there,I just finished polishing the schematic, correcting passives packages and ordering all the parts that will connect the guts of the BitMasher. I got a major change to the project, that is I could not fit multiple 1-bit audio outputs as I originally...
Yeah, the manual fot the CHIPSAT BASIC will be ready soon. I´ll keep it short, so pros don´t get annoyed but easy to read, so beginners can start developing without going through the toolchain-hell.
Now that the headrest monitors are in, and my lil gremlins... I mean, kids, are happy and watching movies to their hearts content while we drive, its time to move on to what Mom and Dad want.Heres the gameplanRemote car start, ability to use a non transponder...
First tests with the oven (9l, 800W, the cheapest I could find which heats to 250°C) shows that :It heats up to slow (I suspected that it may happen :d).It smokes and stinks as hell, I can't turn it on at home, at least not when my wife is around...
Often this is posted within forums, and as comments to articles about software defined radio. No matter what the post contains we often see something like this. "Hackers use DVB dongle to reveres engineer the 70's song Do The Hustle" ; and the first...
After fighting with Amazon for not knowing how to count to 10 whilst stopping at 1, seriously, I now have some ground springs for my low capacitance probe that I'm using for measurements. It is only 100x, not 10x, but for what I do, I don't mostly need...
I have been very busy working on this project since the last update, and I think I have something worthwhile to show now. During that time I have gotten bluetooth to work, rebuilt the display module, and done a ton of programming. I guess I will get...
I mentioned in a previous post that I would be taking a break from this project until sometime this summer. Well it's summer now, I'm in Canada, and I have the necessary time to resume development. I have started programming just a couple weeks ago,...
Week 14's image may have had us at a loss for words, but it definitely didn't slow down our intrepid caption contest entrants! Thanks to everyone who entered. We still have no idea what that device is, though we are sure that we wouldn't want to be under...
