Robert E Lee Building. After I took these photos, I was questioned as to why I was riding the elevator and taking photos in the building. I explained my hobby and then got a history lesson of the building!
PIC12F615 based trigger controller for highspeed photos.
Plugs into the piezo and light sensors I posted previously.
Up to two trigger sources are combined to trigger an external strobe via the SCRs.
If the multiplier is set to zero, either of the two Inputs can trigger the strobe. In this case the delay and deadtime is adjusted via the potentiometers.
If the Multiplier is set to 1..7, only the deadtime value is used, as the delay time is set as a multiple of the trigger time between input one and input two. In this case the firing distance can be adjusted by placing two lightbarriers for example 20cm apart. A multiplier of one will fire as soon as the second trigger comes, a multiplier of 2 will set the firing distance to twice the barrier distance and so on.
A firing event is also displayed by a single flash of the according (positive or negative edge) LED.
Some of the controllers left after the latest Halofest (16 drunkards in my living room playing Halo 2 and getting pwnd by me).
The 3DO’s gamepad is a fairly run-of-the-mill controller, featuring a Genesis-style set of 3 action buttons, yet SNES style L/R shoulder buttons. The middle buttons, typically called Start and Select, are labeled “X” and “P” here. Of particular note are the CD controls scattered around the controller, with the “Stop” square on X and “Play/Pause” triangle and bars on the P button, and fast forward, rewind, and skip icons circling the D-Pad.

After using this controller and the 400 step/rev motors for months purely as a guiding system I finally started working on the various algorithms needed to turn it into a full-blown GOTO system. This took months of work but I rarely applied more than a few hours a day to the project with long spells of thinking and doing other things. During tuning the PIC In-Circuit Serial Reprogramming interface was installed (the ribbon cable immediately to the left of the 40 pin PIC and the PICkit 2 programming pod is show). The new controller mounts where the original slow-speed stepper system was installed. The leftmost cable at the bottom is for the handbox, while the right cable at the bottom is connected to a RS232 to TTL serial converter (little blue PCB mounted upside down). The bare PCB was about $28 ($80+ for a set of three proto-boards). The PIC chip is about $2.50. The RTC chip is about $3. The motor driver daughter boards sell for about $10 each. The serial converter board was about $3. Connectors and the case plus misc. resistors and capacitors come to about $40. The software implements the basic Celestron NexStar protocol, as documented at the Celestron support site. The system has been successfully tested with both Cartes du Ciel and Stellarium.
Okay, so I've got one of these. Now what? Seriously. Where the hell are all the games? Don't want racing, first person shooters or sports. That leaves..... ???
A pretty awesome piece of programmable hardware. The active development community is a huge bonus too.

A side/front view of the electro-mechanical elevator controller seen in the last shot. This had been out of service for some time. In the late 1990s, the hotel underwent significant renovations, and at that time, the elevators were modernized. Although the elevator still has a swing door, and although the Seaberg cab is original, the fixtures and the controller were replaced.
Since I didn't have like a white board or anything, i decided to use my white towel for this shot.
Doesn't come out as nice as a board, but it did the job.
This was made for Luke, the little boy I made the Thomas the Tank Engine cake for. He ate the hat and an arm off the figurine on his cake, and got VERY upset that his Fat Controller was broken :(
So I decided to make him a new one, and this is him, in a box for display.
Air ride controller molded in where the ash tray used to be, looks oem it is done so well.

I used a squeezy dust blower and wiped off remaining dust with a cloth, but it still looks like this close-up. Yay. :)
(Uh, this is part of my BassStation keyboard, if anyone cares.)
Quadrotor Flight Controller class at the HiTech STEM Lab at the East Columbia Branch of the HCLS. The purpose of the class is to introduce students to quadcopters through hand-on learning. The studets investigated the physics behind multirotor liftoff, stabilization, direction of flight, and landing the aircraft. Students worked in teams to assemble the
propulsion system and wire the flight controller and power system. Students honed their flight skills through a flight simulator before flight testing their builds in the final class.
This is a birthday cake for a gentleman. He wanted a cake to resemble his PS3 controller. Vanilla cake with fondant. All pieces are made with fondant, writing is done in piping gel.
Oh my this was harder than I expected, I had crazycakes.eu problem I had a killer of a migraine and struggled to keep going. However this is the end product, I hope it looks like a controller and my client is pleased! we shall see.

Interface setup_2009 to capture insects in-flight. This interface connect most of the elements to the hardware CPLD module ( the Terasic MAX II board). All the signals are driven from this CPLD board via the max_con1 and the max_con2 connectors. The previous AVR controller are also connected to this board. Outputs are available for the D200 camera, the 3x flash SB800 or SB-80-DX, the 2x16 char LCD display, the 2 IR lasers, the 2 green lasers, the high power leds, the switchs and the push buttons. Power regulators for the lasers can set to the correct voltage. This hole module is placed into the frame below the macro lens.

The Dreamcast controller is an obvious evolution of the Saturn 3D controller, with the same “disc with handles” shape. It only has one analog stick. It’s massive, but fairly comfortable to hold. On the top of the controller are two slots for memory cards. There is a window in the front of the controller which will show the screen of a Visual Memory Unit, if you have one. The VMU would sometimes show information about the game on a small LCD screen, but the true nature of the VMU only became apparent when you removed it from the controller. The VMU had a small D-Pad and a couple of action buttons, and would let you play very limited miniature versions of some games on-the-go, sort of like a Tamagotchi. The only thing that’s really wrong with the Dreamcast controller is the fact that it has the absolute worst wire placement since the original SMS controllers. Instead of coming out of the top of the controller and pointing at the TV and the console, the wire comes out of the bottom and points at the user. You lose about six inches of controller wire because of this, not to mention that you’re constantly getting tangled in the wire.
