Time to post an update...So far I've done some additional testing with a different camera, playing around with a few different options for "fswebcam" and looked into the options for GPIO programming on the Pi, as well as getting my feet wet in the "Fritzing"...
I'm not reinventing the wheel (too much) here. There have been articles about plugging interfaces to the MO5 since, well.... it existed. The French magazine Science & Vie used to have a few pages each month around 1986 where a simple circuit was made...
Making a minimal confuser actually do minimal confusing is a lot harder than it used to be. For decades, the raspberry pi foundation has labored to run as much as possible as slowly as possible. With much coercing, it can be made to just...
UPDATE2: Wow! 27 hours! I mean, yahknow, it'd be *easy* to bump a wire on this thing sitting right above my keyboard... but still running at 50MHz. Cool.UPDATE: Been "Free-Running" continuously for over 5 hours straight at 50MS/s... I might go so far...
Raw number of entries as of 8:31 AM CST on 8/21/2014: 792Number of entries containing a video link: 538 - incidentally: only one Youku user : )Number of entries with at least 4 project logs: 480Number of entries with at least 4 project logs AND...
The leading contender for replacing IR pivoted to a central bridge that received 433Mhz FM from the CC1101 & transmitted on Wifi to all the desks. The CC1101 definitely starts up fast enough. There are 4 ESP8266's which never found any use...
Hi. So this is the story: My interest/knowledge of embedded stuff was always around 32bit MCUs and a little bit of FPGA/CPLD devices. Mostly in audio signal processing world. The embedded Linux always was for me something out of my scope. Back in the...
Smartphones include amazing technology. Unfortunately, a lot of it never gets exposed to users, mostly due to form factor considerations (my guess), and possibly due to “consumers don’t need it”. What do we have for this post?...
I have been a big fan of Totem products for quite some time; they have some fantastic construction 'maker' kits which have proven extremely useful to me for prototyping many projects, and I have been invited to test some of their other kits in the past,...
After four months of continual silence from life getting ahead of me, I have had a chance to sit down and truly figure out what the platform will be based on (who got knocked out by me being in the quarter finals even though I resigned?). I had my original...
The logic board looks physically fine, no burn marks or weird smell, components looks alright and I got a hunch that it may be just the power supply and CFL inverter gone bust and the TV can still be made functional. The inputs were RCA, component, HDMI...
Overview This project describes how to build a micro Self Driving Car (uSDC), a smaller version of Ogma Corp's 1/10th scale R/C based self driving car. Both versions use a controller to drive the SDCs and a front-facing camera, to provide input into...
When Y8 is integrated in a chip as a building block of a SoC or a microcontroller, the IO space implements some pin-altering registers, usually named GPIO. So you have configuration registers, read register and output register... This last one is often...
With full 2D support for the web inside Janus, it would be an incredibly useful feature to have a web access terminal to SSH into remote Linux servers. I dream of creating the ultimate operations and command center inside VR. It's more than just having...
UPDATE: RIDONCULOUS HACKING to obtain EPG-info via an old tuner, scroll down a bit...Whelp, there's a pretty-durn-good find, if I say so...Sitting in the laundry room atop the donation-bin...Apparently the only things wrong with it are:A) Batteries leaked...
