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.
Atari 2600 PCB composite. I photographed it from the top and bottom, cropped each to the correct size rectangle at 300dpi (perspective-corrected), and overlaid them.

Close-up photo of a circuit board.
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...
Taken through quartz window of an old mirco with a FA100 macro lens using a Pringles tin to extend the pop up K-x flash. Shot was hand held! Amazed how well it worked.
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.
Е5К (E5K) and 2/3/4ЕС5К (ES5K) “Ермак “ (The Ermak – the series is named in honour of Russia's national hero Ermak, conqueror of Siberia in the times of Ivan the Terrible) – a family of new 25 kV AC mainline freight electric locomotives with four-axle sections equipped with collector traction motors. The number of sections can be from one to four (internal - booster without cab). These electric locomotives are the next evolutionary stage in the development of ВЛ80 (VL80) freight electric locomotives and are positioned as their main replacement. Like the VL80, they were developed by the All-Russian Research Institute of Electric Locomotive Building (VELNII) in Novocherkassk and have been produced since 2004 at the Novocherkassk Electric Locomotive Plant, a part of the CJSC Transmashholding concern, currently being the most mass-produced family of Russian electric locomotives. More than 2200 electric locomotives have already been built, including 1500 three-section 3ES5K. In most mechanical parts they are unified with the 2/3ЭС4К (ES4K) family of 2–3 section DC electric locomotives, which are the successors of another mass-produced locomotive VL10 built in Georgia and in Russia at NEVZ. www.flickr.com/photos/cetus13/53285531192/in/dateposted/
The locomotive has a steel wagon-type body with a main frame, on which a plastic block control cabin and a set of equipment are mounted. The running gear is designed with axle-axle suspension of traction electric motors with motor-axle plain bearings. The bogies of the low-production 6-axle freight-passenger (Bo'Bo'Bo') electric locomotive ВЛ65 (VL65) are used, this bogie differs from the bogies of VL80 and VL85 by the absence of leaf springs (flexicoil suspension is used), and from the bogie of ВЛ80, in addition, by the absence of kingpins, the force transmission is through the central inclined link. The locomotive is equipped with advanced 850 kW collector traction motors НБ-514Д (NB-514D; in new modification ES5S is used asynchronous motors ДТА-1100 and IGBT transistors), as well as a microprocessor control system that provides manual and automatic motion control, diagnostics of motion parameters and operation of all locomotive equipment, electric regenerative braking. Its DC counterpart uses different 800 kW DTC-800 traction motors and has a dynamic brake in addition to regenerative braking (that can be seen in roof comparison)
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.
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!!
