The Multimedia Expansion Board is a modular add-on to any of Microchip Technology's Starter Kits for the 32-bit PIC32 microcontroller family, which have been purchased by thousands of embedded designers. The board demonstrates how to implement a flexible graphics display strategy that is not dependent on controller-based QVGA Display Modules, which are frequently obsoleted. It also includes a high-quality 24-bit stereo audio codec line out, headphone and microphone jacks, integrated FCC-certified Wi-Fi®, an on-board 3-axis accelerometer and a 5-position joystick. No other manufacturer offers such a complete multimedia development system for this class of 32-bit microcontroller.
The Multimedia Expansion Board (part # DM320005, $249.99) is available today at www.microchip.com/get/F3RD.

Microchip's Accessory Development Starter Kits for Android™ enable accessory development for Google’s Android platform. Specifically, Android versions 2.3.4 and 3.1 and later include a new framework that allows apps to communicate directly with an accessory connected to a smartphone or tablet, via USB. The kits consist of a development board and a software library, available via free download from www.microchip.com/android, which enable the fast and easy development of Android smartphone and tablet accessories based on Microchip’s large portfolio of 16-bit and 32-bit PIC® microcontrollers. These microcontrollers feature industry-leading performance, integrated connectivity and eXtreme Low Power technology for the industry’s lowest power consumption in both sleep and active modes.
Microchip Technology's MCP9804 Temperature Sensor provides high temperature accuracy of +0.25° C (typical) and +/- 1° C from -40 to +125°C, as well as static current consumption of just 200 µA (typ.). Available in small 8-pin MSOP and 2 mm x 3 mm DFN packages, the I2C™ device reduces board space and enables longer battery life for industrial, automotive and consumer applications.
Every one of these first gen timelapsers was a labor of love, taking countless hours to complete. They were deployed by the dozens. The alarm clock buzzer is wired to an optoisolator which lets the tiny current activate an input to the ATOM microcontroller. The chip turns on a relay to turn off the alarm and reset for the next day then another relay shorts across the cameras power switch, it waits for powerup then another relay shorts across the shutter button contacts. After another short delay, the cam power relay turns it off to wait for the alarm again
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.

The Arduino Duemilanove on a 6mm polycarbonate slab with four non-slip feet. The PCB is supported on M3 threaded spacers, and held down with Allen bolts (which I salvaged from a Video 2000 VCR). The edges of the polycarbonate slab have been polished, using toothpaste.
A small present for my girlfriend.

Lissajous figures are interesting curves that occur in systems where oscillation happens in more than one direction, for example when a pendulum hanging from a string moves in the plane.
These pictures are from an easy persistence of vision approach to playing with Lissajous figures. Read more about this project here.
Microchip Technology Inc., a leading provider of microcontroller, analog and Flash-IP solutions, today announced its first instrumentation amplifier, the MCP6N11. The new instrumentation amp features Microchip’s unique mCal technology, which is an on-chip calibration circuit that enables low initial offset voltage and a means to control offset drift, which results in higher accuracy across time and temperature. The MCP6N11’s low-power CMOS process technology enables low power, while providing a gain bandwidth product of 500 kHz, and it features a hardware shutdown pin for even more power savings. The device’s low, 1.8V operation allows two 1.5V batteries to be drained beyond typical use, and its rail-to-rail input and output operation enables full-range use, even in low-supply conditions.
