Tonight I gathered some reference/research material for this project. Fortunately, several others have done some really great work with this module, so here's credit to them: LTC3780 DatasheetBeyond Logic blog postTemplaro blog postGreat Scott videoJulien...
I'm going to create a stand-alone PSoC project to use the PSoC to read SD cards. I'm going to start with the hardware defines for this project (which should leave the Z80 hardware pins unmolested) and just not download code. For the software piece, I...
When entering a short test sequence on my remote this is what my receiver displays (a dot means an exact repetition of the previous packet):All on: 07 B0 F2 EA 35 90 01 B9 AC F9 .......................... 07 B0 F2 EA 35 90 00 B9 74 E0 .. Color red: 07...
The STM32 board was just a hair bigger than the PIC, but the biggest pieces are still the power switch, channel button, & battery. The plan is just to print an L enclosure which scotch tapes around the hot shoe & sticks up. The antenna will...
Initially I thought the data stream from the camera board to the quadcopter controller was PPM. This signal is only active when the app is running and the on-screen controls are brought up. The quadcopter has to be power-cycled in order to be controlled...
Detecting and identifying a card As stated in an earlier log, the card insertion is detected by grounding the pin *CD. But this is not enough to make the scope believe he have a know card inside him. You need to indicate him what type of card was inserted....
Plascii Petsma by Cruzer/Camelot has one of the nicest looking plasma effects I've seen for the C64. Since he included the source code, I was able to port it to the Z80 and TMS9918. On top of the features in the original C64 version, I have...
The rest of the boards just came:I think I will connect them together through wire-wrapped "motherboard" (lets call it "NEDONAND-10" ; )All of these NEDONAND components could be tested one by one using PIC microcontroller (connected to PC through RS-232)...
Indeed, immediately after running the Windows software in a VM with the device connected I was getting a live data log of the CO₂ concentration! This screenshot shows me breathing into the vicinity of the sensor:Ok, time to disconnect the device from...
Ok, now it is kind of proven that binary CPLD (or FPGA) may implement ternary logic, but how we can integrate it with "true" ternary components, especially when CPLD is 3.3V and TRIMUXes are -5V and +5V? Answer is DG403 chips may do the job: Because...
I took a perfboard and soldered up power and the data/address busses of the MCU, SRAM, NVRAM and the address bus latch.I did't really care about the exact order of the bits when wiring them up, I just went for the easiest layout. I'm not really sure...
For quite some time I have been thinking about the possibility to using a laptop to run all the heavy OpenPlotter and OpenCPN stuff instead of using a Raspberry Pi. The performance of the RPi is... well it's usable but it's not a pleasant user experience....
To implement the ESP-NOW Protocol, we first need to understand how it works in details. The datasheet doesn't say much on the really low level, especially on the acknowledgment behavior. To understand what ESP-NOW does, I use Wireshark with my PC Wifi...
I was looking for a way to make the Excel Paper Model for the Z30 calculate the stepping points so it would be a complete model of the machine. The example shown below is for a rotor with a Ring Setting of 4, the 1 mark on the ring is set to the 4 position...
Quite symbolically, this Saturday, on March 2, Kyiv will host the first Maker Faire Kyiv in a long time! The last one was in 2018.Where, in addition to uECG and uMyo, we’ll present our first project in collaboration with TURFPTAx The device working...
