  • Maybe Feather?

  • I still have no strength to sit down and program a proper gait, but I keep thinking about the mechanical design and having ideas. One thing I'm going to need is some kind of an expansion socket on the front part of the robot, so that I can connect different...
  • Designing the nRF9160 Feather

  • Whenever I design a board, I optimize as much as possible. Layer count, part count and even part location can play a big role in how much assemblies cost later down the road. In this article, I go into depth about the decisions I made when designing...
  • New Feather Wing viEwMotion Board

  • I successfully etched a new board (after thickening traces, etc as much as possible).  I cleaned and etched the board, re-flowed all the SMD parts, drilled holes for jumpers and header pins (and hand soldered all of that stuff) it was time to check...
  • The nRF9160 Feather Is Now Served

  • I was a complete failure. My prototype wasn’t working. I spent at least an hour trying to rework a frustratingly large LTE module on an impossibly small circuit board. It wasn’t going to work. So I went back to the drawing board. I poured my years of...
  • Getting Zephyr Running on the nRF9160 Feather

  • In this post, I’ll be outlining my first experiences with Zephyr and nRF Connect SDK. If you’re not familiar, Zephyr is an up and coming RTOS for embedded devices. It brings things like threads to tiny little processors so that your real time tasks can...
  • Dwalin: Power management problem

  • I'm moving Dwalin from the breadboard stage to prototype in the enclosure. As part of this, I'm setting it up so that the Pi can turn off power to the Feather in order to run the Feather from the LiPo battery once a week. Unfortunately I've run into...
  • Hardware

  • The hardware setup for this build is fairly straightforward. The ESP8266 (I used Adafruit's Feather HUZZAH) is connected to a VS1053 decoder chip with the SPI bus. The VS1053 is connected to a small powered speaker (I just used one I already had laying...
  • Soldering Notes and OLED Wiring Mystery

  • Follow steps to solder connections:Attached OLED wing to Feather using soldering notes provided by Adafruit.  Really needed a third hand.  My result is that the wing is slightly off parallel.  The side away from USB is slightly closer...
  • USB Host #2

  • I have my cheapo mini usb host shield (max3421e) connected up to a 3.3v 328p feather board. the arduino code translates the USB HID data to ps2 data for the fpga system - giving usb mouse and keyboard via a powered hub. I think I may have space for usb...
