FireBot is a fire-fighting robot.

A new generation of cheap lightweight plastic electronic technology that does not require silicon, but which is optically transparent and can be coated onto everyday objects would transform our world.

 

"Working collaboratively with industry is not only satisfying in that I see aspects of my work translate into real engineered products, but it provides inspiration for new avenues of research too. Roadmapping then allows me to critically assess how I should be developing my research portfolio and engaging with industry to maximise the likelihood of productive collaboration."

Imagine electronically updated food labels, computers embedded in our armchairs, even contact lenses linking us directly to the Internet to bring us into the age of plastic electronics. In this video podcast Dr Andrew Flewitt and Dr Robert Phaal both from the Department of Engineering and Scott White serial entrepreneur and CEO of Pragmatic Printing talk about the creative partnership forged between different parts of the Department of Engineering and outside companies that enable the technology and research in this area to be exploited successfully.

we got our hands on a $100 laptop prototype (for the "one laptop per child" project). currently, it's just a motherboard that you plug a keyboard, monitor, and flash drive into.

Dirty Electronics Mute Synth custom modified by A.S.M.O. for Daniel Miller (The Normal / Mute Records).

Touch panels hardwired to pots and switches, 3 LFOs, one for each oscillator and feedback.

Low / band pass resonant filter with external voltage control input, self oscillates at full resonance.

Panel is covered in (warm) leatherette, nice!

This time was much more successful. I applied the solder paste with the tip of a sewing needle. Smearing it across the pads until I thought I had enough.

 

Result: No bridged pins!

Three SSRs from the Reflow Oven project.

The large black SSR was originally going to switch all the power for the oven and is mounted to a large PII heatsink.

The two smaller SSRs (one in box and one out) will replace the larger SSR with one devoted to top and one for bottom.

 

All three SSRs are rated for 25A@240v, but the larger has a much higher surge current rating, has less recommended derating for inductive loads, and contains a zero-crossing detector. It also doesn't have the stylish "I'm on" LED.

 

The larger SSR is up for reuse now.

Another piece of old electrical equipment snapped for enclosure design inspiration at A1 Electronics in Toronto.

This is the start of a build for a four channel DAC board.

While working on the design of a Z80 synth I wanted to make the synth polyphonic and capable of playing up to 4 notes at once.

I started with the idea of creating software digital waveform generators and summing using signed addition in to one stream to feed a single 8 bit DAC. As the design went on it was obvious the calculations would take too much time and reduce the highest frquency I could play notes at. As well it would of needed additional code for scaling and filtering each of the four waveforms to prevent overun and digital distortion occuring.

So I decided to send each of the software waveform generators to its own 8 bit DAC and the outputs of these are combined with an analouge mixer instead of doing software summing. In addition to this each DAC has its own analogue low pass filter to reconstruct the output waveform from the DAC,s output before going to the mixer stage.
