Stephen Tranovich12:08 PMCool, let's get rolling! This hack chat is going to be more of a community discussion around Prize entries, unique ways of energy harvesting, and anything else about the Prize. Orlando Hoilett12:09 PMIt's kind of a neat way to...
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...
A few months have passed since I last wrote anything about poobrainsdevelopment and I think it's about time I told you what I was up to sincethen. It's been a lot, so this is probably going to be a semi-long post,even without going into too much depth....
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...
I finally got this thing working and am ready to try to make a video. I'll start by outlining the overall process. After I install Handbrake... Done. There are two ways I can do this right now, as I am starting with 4K video files. The first is to just...
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....
