Finally, today is a day with sunny weather + some hours of free time :DQuestion: At which voltage should I use my (unknown type) solar panel to get maximum power out of it? Is it really that worse if I use it a few volts above or below? Is it worth the...
Latest board all seems to work :-)The only bad news for me is that using a single 14500 3.7V 1200mAH AA battery instead of 2xHiMH batteries will effectively half the battery life (probably less as popular opinion seems to say these type of batteries...
Intro( Disclaimer: I'm no writer. I apologize in advance. ) I'm going to try and post a log around weekly, if for no other reason than to ensure I attempt to make some progress each week between posts. This first entry will (edit: begin to) summarize...
Displays come in all shapes and sizes. Selection can be difficult with many factors to consider; power consumption, size, readability, touch input and of course there's the actual programming of a micro-controller in order to make full use of your choice....
The critical part of the "bitslice" architecture defined by #AMBAP: A Modest Bitslice Architecture Proposal is the register set. It uses quite a lot of parts ! An 8-registers implementation with 16 bits each requires 128 bits of storage ! So that's a...
This information below is obsolete, due to official support of RTL8710 by Realtek is done. Please see my update (it gets quite easy!!)Here I would like to introduce how to arrange programming environment. Indeed most part is contributed by lvvx, RtlDuino...
As I complete each module of the computer, I like to revisit Ben's videos both to make sure I haven't missed anything and also to see what I can learn from the design choices made. Now that I am starting to design PCBs for each module, I am also finding...
By whygee on Tuesday 8 November 2011, 16:29 - Architecture Warning : this is partially deprecated since 2013-08-09, see http://yasep.org/#!doc/reg-mem#parking As the YASEP architecture specifies, there are 5 normal registers (R1-R5) and 5 pairs of data/address...
I am now writing a program that runs both backwards and forwards iterations simultaneously on 2 cores, using the POSIX threads library. The performance seems reasonable, I included some little scheduling tricks to save a fraction of performance here...
After the first Kickstarter failed to meet the funding goal, I decided to try again. Like the first Kickstarter, I wanted to time my launch with an event to get the word out, and it just so happened that the Bay Area Maker Faire was just around the corner!The...
Before I start this log on the keyboard I should mention that I'm in the process of putting all of my writings and software on the Video Writer on a small website. The following is an almost direct copy of what will be the article about the keyboard......
Just like when solving mazes, it seems that I like to start from the end and work my way backwards. I've just talked about how I'm planning to try and interweave a 5th Tetrinsic and how the visible area is likely going to be around about 75 x 75mm....
The wonderful York University Computer Museum MCM/70 Emulator allowed the user to manipulate the cassette drives through the onscreen interface. From the MCM/70 Emulator manual: The MCM/70 computers were equipped with up to two digital cassette drives....
Hi everyone, welcome to the Hack Chat today. My name is Dan and I'll be moderating today along with Dusan. We're joined by Uri Shaked today, who's doing a HackadayU course soon on RaspPi 2040 and Pico, and completed a course earlier in the year on AVR...
