So since the Teensy++ 2.0 bootloader is not available and I'm not feeling comfortable to learn all the bells and whistles of USB communications I was looking for other options. Googling "at90usb1287 arduino" I found this https://github.com/mattairtech/ArduinoCore-avr...
OK, I think I'm in big trouble. First let's look at some numbers. I do fart a lot in my car. At the time I'm writing this I own my car for 70 days and farted 219 times over a distance of 3067km. That's 1 fart every 14km, 3.13 farts a day! I do fart at...
One of the goals of this project is to make the code capable of being entered into the Hackaday 1K code competition. This isn't perhaps as easy as it sounds: 1K is not a lot of memory, and the Arduino framework (as generally friendly as it is) isn't...
Working on a flow sensor test setup the breadboard suddenly exploded! And I though blue smoke was the worst that could occur.. ---------- more ----------Yesterday I made a great step forward testing the flow sensor. I made a simple breadboard setup to...
Update September 5, 2017 - IO is adding correctly once again. Could not isolate the problem so just started adding 104 caps to parts of the registers that had not already been filtered. Still have a very slight glitch with one led on the accumulator...
I'd like to talk a little about some of the changes that cut this project down to almost 1/3rd of it's original size. In earlier logs I already mentioned the USB Device Firmware Upgrade (DFU) support, extra USB descriptors, accurate baud-rate calculation,...
An Integer Version of the DemodulatorAs the code will be ported to a lowly Arduino using C code, I first looked at if I could use 16 bit signed integers. The answer is strictly yes. Strictly in that the 32 bit result of a 16 bit multiplication is not...
I went looking on some junk boxes while I am still waiting for parts and found these - That's 104 Xilinx XC9536XL - 5 Volt tolerant 36 macro 10ns CPLD's. I have ordered some level translators because I want a mix of 3.3 Volt chips and older 5 Volt chips...
Hello, everyone we thought it was time for a complete log since the two previous ones were quite small. Please, take note that that you can now find the Source Code in the shared files and that the components list has been updated too. Let’s look at...
The PD Buddy Wye power/data splitter is now available on Tindie! If you have a PD Buddy Sink and want to make full use of the new features in firmware version 1.1, I encourage you to check it out!
Yes, the latest batch of PD Buddy Sinks just arrived from @MacroFab! There are twenty in this batch, and they've all been listed on Tindie. Will this be a repeat of last time? The STM32F072C8U6 still has shaky availability (what the...
In this large-scale training run I'll be using 5177 negative images, and 750 positive elephant-images. I'll attempt hard-negative mining on 500 images. Hard-negative mining is outlined in the following paper 'Object Detection with Discriminatively Trained...
In my quest to reduce the cost and manufacturability of the LiFePO4wered/Pi+, my attention was drawn to the ETA1096, a Chinese boost converter. It is significantly lower cost than the TPS61236P, and it comes in a nice leaded package, so I thought...
