  • Raspberry talking to the relay

  • Since the Raspberry GPIO only support 3.3V and the Sainsmart relay module need 5V to switch the relay I used a ULN2803A and an external power supply (the same I use to power the Raspberry PI, since it supports more then enough amps) to operate the optical...
  • V2.1 is on the horizon!

  • Recently, I have been putting my full focus of the project on designing and refining the SBC V2.1. I have some great new features on it while keeping the PCB just about the same size. The largest of the additions is likely the new expansion bus, which...
  • Testing v3.0

  • Hi everyone, Over the past couple of weeks, I've been working hard to test all of the features of the SBC v3.0. When I first plugged in the board to test it after soldering, I was sad to find that it did not work immediately, which I had hoped it would....

  • 0x04 NTTF - a matrix controller

  • CHANGE LOG2015-02-17 Joined with update page2015-02-14 first versionINTRODUCTIONSo I designed a circuit, without making a pcb and sending it to OSHPark today. First I want to make sure, if what I've done is correct or not and right now I'm too confused...
  • Prototype

  • This was originally published on my blog: chris-labs.deThis is the second part of my RGB-Cube series (here's the first) which describes my process of forming an idea to a working prototype. After spending hours of reading and ordering the first parts...
  • Clock Clock Clone

  • MotorsI may be a mechanical engineer, but I don't relish the idea of designing and fabricating the clockwork mechanisms to accommodate 48 separate motors. Fortunately, the automotive industry has faced exactly this situation, and so they produce a dual...
  • PCB components

  • Now that we know what pneumatic components and microcontroller we are using, let's go over how to interface the two. The solenoid valves are controlled individually: apply 12V to power them on; open the circuit to shut them off (or vice-versa, for...
