"The best way to predict the future is to invent it." - Alan KayIt used to be all about the future. Then it was not. "Software was eating the world" and we became focused on the present, felt proud that we're growing up, learning how to make money...
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...
By having the system permanently embedded in your body, you have a different type of controlled environment which cannot be interfered with by the various day to day lives of people.The electronic components within the system are small but require a...
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...
Forgive the stream of consciousness; I am not even close to what one would consider a thorough writer or really used to writing blogs in general, so this is mostly just a brain dump. So this is quite a large learning project that will take some time...
Hello again, makers!<span id="selection-marker-1" class="redactor-selection-marker" data-verified="redactor"></span> It's been quiet here the last few weeks on Hackaday, but let me assure you that things haven't been slow!...
This information below is obsolete, due to official support of RTL8710 by Realtek is done.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...
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....
Part of me has gained quite a bit of interest in trying to implement this thing (at least read-back) with discrete logic, like TTL/7400-series. Sync: There's no reason it has to be the same duration as a PWM-nibble. 4us seems better to me. The key concept...

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...
