The development environment of Kings!
More stuff bolted to crudely-sawn wood scrap!
I'm just starting to develop the software for the IN-14 clock, and this setup is the part that will let me upload it to the microcontroller clock brains and test it out. Microcontrollers are single-chip computers, commonly used in the Real World for tasks like controlling cars' fuel injectors or acting as the brains of your microwave oven. They're available in various sizes and degrees of computer-power; a clock doesn't need a very smart one. The chip shown here is overpowered for being clock brains and it cost about $5. Microcontrollers effectively turn hardware engineering tasks into software tasks, which makes me as a software engineer very happy. You use them by writing software on a PC, then "burning" it onto the controller with a tool called a programmer. Modern microcontrollers are reusable, so you can erase and re-burn them thousands of times - ideal for experimenting. Once burned, they can allegedly remember their programming for decades, unless erased.
The widget in the upper left is an AVR Dragon, which is a low-cost USB programmer / debugger for several of the microcontrollers in the Atmel AVR family.
In the breadboard at the bottom is one such chip, the ATMega8515, which distinguishes itself as a nixie clock controller because it has a lot of I/O pins. The tube driver board needs 4 bits per digit, so 16 I/O pins are needed to communicate with it.
In this shot the chip is running the essential first microcontroller program - an LED blinker. I've written plenty of stuff on other controllers, just not this one, and I've only used the Dragon a couple of times before. An LED blinker is a great way to make sure the whole environment is set up properly.
The Dragon is, on paper, a very nice little board - costs about $50 and has capabilities of much more expensive tools, such as in-circuit debugging. In practice it's been a bit temperamental, sometimes refusing to talk to my laptop, but all in all it's pretty cool.
In a really nerdy way.

Talks and performances by people doing strange things with electricity
Fri 23 March 2012, 6.30-10pm with interval at the Showroom Cinema, Sheffield.
Dorkbot is a meeting of people interested in electric/electronic art in the broadest sense; robotics, kinetic art, microcontrollers, interactive art, algorithmic music, net.art... The only real conditions are that it is a bit strange and involves electricity in some way. It is really defined by whoever turns up, be it engineers who want to be artists, artists who want to be engineers, or the otherwise confused.
This MEGADORK event features a cabaret of talks and performances from among the UK's dorkiest, to entertain and amaze:
Paul Granjon - A strange performance from the world renowned self-styled robot artist.
Patrick Tresset - Talks about his drawing robot Paul (on show as part of the Alan Turing: Intuition and Ingenuity exhibition).
Daniel Jones and James Bulley - talking about generating live music from patterns of weather.
www.variable4.org.uk/about/intro
Sarah and Jenny Angliss - playing robot music from past futures.
spacedog.biz
Sergi Jorda - talks about the Reactable tangible tabletop music playground (which you'll be able to try out at the Central Library Saturday 24 March)
Dan Stowell - Demonstrates his use of the Risset illusion in techno music.
Silicone Bake - Live coded pop songs about love, death and counterfeit watches, where all lyrics are taken from spam emails.
Megadork is curated by Alex McLean.
Dorkbot started in New York, spread to London, and now dozens of cities around the world, including several active UK chapters; Sheffield, Bristol, Anglia, Newcastle, Cardiff and Alba (Scotland). Find out more at: www.dorkbot.org

Microchip Technology's PIC18F87J72-based Energy Monitoring PICtail™ Daughter Board (part # ARD00330) can be plugged into the Explorer 16 Development Board (part # DM240001) for easy development of energy-measurement and -monitoring devices.
Since I was always fumbling in the dark for a light to read my Butterfly exposure timer--and I also thought it'd be cool to design and build a microcontroller-powered project from the ground up--here's the prototype Exposure Timer Mark II.
The MCU is an ATMEGA48V with 4K program flash, about 2.5K consumed by the timer program. Features timed exposures up to 99m59s, delay between exposures, total exposure count, and mirror lockup. Also has adjustable brightness levels (from "readable in daylight" to "will not scorch your retinas at night"). A back-of-the-envelope estimate would give over a solid month of operation time from a pair of AAAs at the lowest brightness setting.
Now I just need to find a box for it. In retrospect, I should have found a matching protoboard/box before starting.
Here is the MSF Receiver test bed in 2022, in a conveniently-sized shoebox which helps keep all the bits together.
Here we see the receiver module in a litte cheese carton.
I have managed to damage the receiver module (due to some ham fisted fault finding) which means it will only now function with a much reduced supply voltage, which explains the LM317 in the container.
Then on the main board I have had to add a voltage shifting circuit to lift the reduced output voltage to one which will drive the Arduino which runs the latest version of the code which may eventually find its way into the "built" unit.
There are a few redundant left-over parts from earlier projects.
Definitely a bit "Heath Robinson"!
Assembled AuroraWatchNet magnetometer sensor unit. The lower PCB is a Calunium v2.0 microcontroller board, the upper PCB is the FLC100 shield. This contains a Ciseco XRF radio module (blue PCB). The FLC100 magnetometer is located on a remote PCB (not shown).
This mod includes a microcontroller that can alter the LEDs. The intent was to add a little flicker to make the engine seem more active... but it mostly makes it look like there is an engine failure, so I leave them full on.
At Sandia National Laboratory , the advanced microcontroller circuitry inside the MidiWing musical instrument can calculate the many different frequencies or pitches that produce complex musical sounds from the position of a joystick, mouse or other input.

Pellet stove controller. Populated PCB.
I was constantly burning out my pellet stove ignitor. An external thermostat tends to minimize the temperature fluctuation and causes the stove to run short cycles. The ignitor runs for 20-minutes every cycle.
This controller add more hysteresis to the temperature control. It continues to run the stove for a period after the thermostat stops calling for heat. When the thermostat again calls for heat, it adds a delay before starting a new cycle.

Studio strobe on a big PVC tripod for doing outdoor timelapse at night. Winds are lower at night, allowing you to work in the natural environment without the excessive vibrating effect caused by wind moving leaves during the interframe interval. I plan to adapt this technique to seasons timelapse once I have more experience with it at high framerates.
Microcontroller, thermal printer, stainless steel. 2016
This work is designed to undermine the vital but patronizing “Harz IV” agenda of the German government in which self-employed individuals must send in records of their expenses in order to verify the necessity of support. Made of stainless steel, this unobtrusive machine is suited for the harsh environments of the streets. It generates receipts for random items, quantities, and sale amounts. Each receipt is printed on thermal paper like an actual receipt and could be sent to the authorities.
