Well, it is about design that is less ambitious. Yes, when there is a place for the consumer to step in and change some things, adapt that something for his needs, participate in the process of creation or rather customization of a thing. On practice that “open design” is meant to be friendly to the user, not just in terms of usability but also , or even in the first place, in terms of “hackability” – read the words – the ability of being hacked with good outcomes. “of course”, one may say, – “anything is ‘hackable’, there no unbreakable things.” Yes and no, so far industrial approach to design rarely includes the end-user in the design collective. User is only allowed to be a user, literally, to use the thing. Design for hackability is about allowing and encouraging people to change functions, look and feel, letting non-designers explore new ways of utilizing things, adapt functions and make technologies be what they want them to be.
One of the old definitions of hacking is interacting in playful and exploratory way, as well as enjoying the “intellectual challenge of creatively overcoming or circumventing limitations”.
The general premise behind DIY is that if you do not like the way things are done, then you should do it yourself. DIY culture involves creating your own world inside the dominant (popular) culture, thereby putting power back in the hands of individuals.

Photos from an article about some different identifying marks on chips. You can read that article here.
ds1302 clock chip sits below the arduino and the pinout worked VERY well in this layout. its not an i2c chip (it needs 3 diff control wires) but I had exta pins to spare, now. I like this chip since it trickle charges the supercap and has an automatic battery backup with this feature.
Just received the hardware module DE0_nano.
Wow!, small, powerfull, lostcost ( So big FPGA!)
Perfect to build the new optical detector with line array.

Algorithme to implement into this hardware:
The Bus Pirate V3 test PCBs arrived yesterday. I stuffed one last night, and it passed the self-test without incident.
I have my very own Raspberry Pi and, now that it's nestled in its handmade case, it has transformed into...
Intel PRO/1000 GT Desktop Adapter
Intel 82541PI Gigabit Controller
Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) 2.3 32-bit 33/66 MHz
Relase Date: 2004

just a module I bought from ebay. this uses the 30mhz style chip (ie, you can synthesize from DC to 30mhz, in theory, with this module).
this is the actual module they sent me. at close inspection, I think some solder splash needs to be cleaned up a bit before I power it on for the first time.
arduino driver code from here:
should work.
photo note: I'm using the oly 12-60 zoom for the last bunch of shots. its not quite the sharpness of the 50mmF2.0 oly but its zoom is so convenient.
Great X-Ray looking shot of the IRLP board (irlp.net).
Not pictured: Raspberry Pi (connected to the board), broken analog flip clock, large glass of beer.

PTI-227B I/O-ISA Card with Winbond W83757F.
This is "classic" ISA-PC super-I/O Card (2x seriell/1x parallel Port).
Remember the good-old days...

the dds-60 kit is now built. untested but fully built.
about 2 hours (maybe more) to solder this. nothing was hard about it and it was almost fun. a surface mount trimmer pot was interesting. having some parts not on the board (later rev) gives extra confusion.
the packing and numbering of parts was very well done. someone put a lot of good thought into it and I can tell.
this project - along with an adaptation of mine will be to add support for this in my volumaster C code base on the LCDuino-1. a multi-tester with buttons, knobs, displays and even programming ports (wired and wireless!)
this was the A+ style kit that I used to build this. VERY impressive packaging on that kit!!
