Uploaded a new batch of design files including PDFs to github. The repository can be found here and this rev contains some nice functional improvements. See previous project log for some details and see git log for summary of changes....
Added step models to all of the interesting parts of the board to make things look and feel more authentic and to size up enclosures and such that I will release that you can easily 3D print. Have a look at the pic below in the project overview....
Got enough parts to build 50 boards today. Updated stencils arrived, woo hoo! Retreating into soldering dungeon to spin up one or two to verify all's well with the world.
Got the new boards back from Advanced Circuits (they rock BTW...attention to detail like few others) and they look awesome. Went with black soldermask this time around and it makes things look so much cooler (much more Hackaday-chic). These...
Recently I'd gotten a fair bit of interest from folks wanting to buy or or trade for one of these FPGA boards...And I must admit, I'm not terribly capitalistic when it comes to stuff I build outside of the work context (I often find I just end up giving...
The first pass of this board was built with the Due in mind (3V3) and other development boards that I had sitting around, almost all of which *other* than Arduino were 3.3V. In planning the evolution of this however, it quickly made...
Whew! Last round of mods were huge because as you come to find out quickly, anytime you add a level translator to a board - much less two & much less 10 channels each - you end up having to reroute most of the PCB layout. And as though that wasn't enough,...
Just uploaded my first video on actually using the board. There are a few others to follow. The video is found on Youtube:This describes the various interfaces, the use of the resources, the jumper settings, power supply, etc.I have also uploaded the...
Made a few minor cosmetic tweaks, did some stuff on the PCB to try and make the next pass easier to add more IO (something that's been asked for) and really dialed in the output generators and outputs directory. Overall a nice cleanup prior to the latest...
Sooo.... I've been entertaining some new projects due to some recent test cases and I've determined it would be just as easy to update this beast of a project. Current update list:Change the LED type to the WS2812 that we love to use so...
we're bring the 3d printed led spikes back!the residential 3d-printers have improved a LOT since other first few passes at this. it was September 2013, we had only a freshly assembled bukobot and pile of the first clear PLA to test.Now 2015, we have...
A few seconds ago we pushed an update to Hackaday Projects. Besides fixing some bugs, increasing the site performance, we also added a new page called ~ Feed.---------- more ----------~ Feed, right now placed as a link in the main menu, takes you to...
Happy monday hackers!After a busy week, we are happy to announce that now we have my feed feature. Compared to global feed, where you can see what's happening on HaD Projects, now you can keep up to date with only projects & hackers you follow. Just...
Greetings hackers,As you might have notices, we pushed a few changes recently. The biggest one is that we have a brand new homepage. Instead of listing all the projects; we now show a combination of featured, newest, recently updated and skullmaster...
