Russ connected an MCP4822 dual 12-bit digital-to-analog converter (DAC) to the fine Tektronix 2213A oscilloscope. A program (sketch) on the Arduino microcontroller drives the DAC and generates the image by steering the scope's CRT beam along the lines in the drawing (vector-scan). en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vector_monitor

 

Russ has updated the software with some animation: www.youtube.com/watch?v=g0dRNZrtVjg

The Arduino Uno is a microcontroller board based on the ATmega328

 

It has 14 digital input/output pins (of which 6 can be used as PWM outputs), 6 analog inputs, a 16 MHz crystal oscillator, a USB connection, a power jack, an ICSP header, and a reset button. It contains everything needed to support the microcontroller; simply connect it to a computer with a USB cable or power it with a AC-to-DC adapter or battery to get started.

I2C (read as I Square C) bus first introduced by Philips in 1980, because of its simplicity and flexibility the I2C bus has become one of the most important microcontroller bus system used for interfacing various IC-devices with the microcontroller. The I2C bus use only 2 bidirectional data lines for communicating with the microcontroller and the I2C protocol specification can support up to 128 devices attached to the same bus.

MCUs offering extensive connectivity interfaces, powerful performance and robust hardware-based security.

Arduino board designs use a variety of microprocessors and controllers. The boards are equipped with sets of digital and analog input/output (I/O) pins that may be interfaced to various expansion boards or Breadboards (shields) and other circuits. The boards feature serial communications interfaces, including Universal Serial Bus (USB) on some models, which are also used for loading programs from personal computers. The microcontrollers are typically programmed using a dialect of features from the programming languages C and C++. In addition to using traditional compiler toolchains, the Arduino project provides an integrated development environment (IDE) based on the Processing language project.

Have you ever thought that most of our perception about the robot is based on the Hollywood movie! The well-known 3CPO and R2D2 from Star Wars until the little cute garbage compacting robot named WALL-E; all of these machines are example of our dreams or should I say our quest to what we all think about the robot should be. Although the robot that we are going to build here is still far away from the technologies shown on those movies but at least it will give you an introductory to the robotics world. for more information please visit www.ermicro.com/blog/?p=983

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.

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.

Microchip Technology's enhanced mTouch™ Cap Touch Evaluation Kit includes a new board for development with the 32-bit PIC32 microcontroller family. It comes equipped with capacitive touch-sensing keys and sliders, which allows designers to evaluate this interface in their applications using the Windows® OS-based mTouch Diagnostic Tool. This software tool provides an easy-to-use Graphical User Interface (GUI) for developing cap-touch buttons and sliders, and is included in the free MPLAB® Integrated Development Environment. The additional software libraries, source code and other support materials that come with the board further shorten development cycles and reduce design costs.

 

When combined with its other included boards, the enhanced mTouch Cap Touch Evaluation Kit allows designers to evaluate all of Microchip’s 8-, 16- and 32-bit microcontrollers, providing a scalable capacitive touch sensing development platform for a wide range of design needs.

 

The enhanced mTouch Cap Touch Evaluation Kit (part # DM183026-2, $99.95) is available today at www.microchip.com/get/F3RD.

The PIC16F75X family of 8-bit microcontrollers (MCUs) featuring intelligent analog and core-independent peripherals, making them ideal for general-purpose applications, as well as power supplies, battery charging, LED lighting, power management and power control/smart energy applications. The new PIC16F753 MCU builds on the success of the popular PIC12F752. The PIC16F753 offers all the key features of the PIC12F752, such as the integrated Complementary Output Generator (COG) peripheral that provides non-overlapping, complementary waveforms for inputs such as comparators and Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) peripherals, while enabling dead-band control, auto shutdown, auto reset, phase control and blanking control. Additionally, the PIC16F753 offers an Op Amp with 3 MHz of Gain Bandwidth Product (GBWP), and a slope compensation circuit to help in Switch Mode Power Supply applications.

Microchip Technology's MCP6401/2/4 Operational Amplifiers (Op Amps) provide lower power consumption in small packages. Featuring quiescent current of just 45 microamperes at 1 MHz, the MCP6401/2/4 devices are an excellent complement to Microchip’s eXtreme Low Power PIC® microcontrollers (MCUs), helping to extend battery life in a variety of consumer (e.g. music players, appliances and gaming consoles); industrial (e.g. barcode scanners and gas meters); automotive (e.g. signal conditioning for proximity and tire-pressure-measurement sensors); and medical applications (e.g. glucometers and portable patient-monitoring devices), among others.
