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).
I'm getting a Lily Pad wearable open source arduino microcontroller in the mail soon and i can't wait to get going with it!
Saturday SMD help alden out of a time bind party.
We all hung out and did about 30 boards with 30 smd 603 LED's on the board. Very cool stuff. We made a Chinese electronics sweat shop in an Arlington workshop basement.
If you didnt come you missed out!
Microchip Technology's 8-bit, low-cost, Enhanced Mid-range Core PIC16F1516/7/8/9 and PIC16F1526/7 (PIC16F15XX) microcontrollers (MCUs) feature eXtreme Low Power (XLP) technology for sleep currents down to 20 nA, which lowers overall power consumption and extends battery life. An on-chip 10-bit Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) with up to 30 channels enables mTouchâ„¢ capacitive touch-sensing keys and sliders, and high-resolution touch-screen designs. Up to two each of EUSART, I2Câ„¢, and SPI ports enable communication with on-board peripherals. They are ideal for cost-sensitive applications in the consumer (e.g. DVD players, cell phones, MP3 players); automotive (e.g. dashboards, gauges, on-board sensors), home appliance (e.g. washing machines, refrigerators, TV remote controls), and other markets.
Microchip Technology's Fanie Duvenhage (Director of Marketing, Applications & Architecture) accepts VDC Research’s annual "Embeddy" award for best in show, hardware category at the Embedded Systems Conference (ESC) in Boston on Sept. 28, 2011. Microchip won the award for the Sept. 26 announcement of its new 8-bit PIC10F(LF)32X and PIC1XF(LF)150X microcontrollers, which feature integrated configurable logic in 6- to 20-pin packages—enabling functionality that was not possible before with low pincount MCUs.
NYRR's NYE race values costumes, so I figured I'd throw a little light on my head. I bought a /relatively/ inexpensive headband and sewed the ends of the strip on the back, along with an Adafruit Gemma and a small alkaline battery box. Tomorrow I need only clip the threads and carefully disassemble the electronics to return it to a normal headband.
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.
Arduino UNO was one of the first ever circuit portraits, way back in 2013. This is a new edition with an extra layer and a bit more finesse.

My laptop, Arduino, H-bridge driver, stepper motor and belt-driven disk. It's a rig that I'm working on for a couple of future projects.
This is a full size mockup I put together to test some concepts for my LED array project. There are 16 RGB LEDs spaced about 2.25 inches apart, with scored and folded cardboard light separators. The final array will have 24 of these rows, with the same minimal spacing between all pixels (no 3/4 inch border). The LEDs are PWM controlled to any of 4096 brightness levels per color.
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.

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

The CX-85 keypad (ca. 1982) was designed for the Atari 800 computer. It turns out to be extremely simple to interface with modern elecronics.
A good power supply is an essential subject to the microcontroller's base project; it's like a heart that gives a life to our microcontroller. Sometimes we take it for granted the important of having an adequate power supply to our microcontroller project and this can lead to the unexpected result or behavior from the circuit.

This is an laser cut enclosure for mobile arduino prototyping. I will start selling this soon. A bit more testing is needed.

Building a simple and easy microcontroller based robot is always a fascinating topic to be discussed, especially for the robotics newbie enthusiast. On this tutorial I will show you how to build your own microcontroller based robot which known as a photovore or you could call it as the light chaser robot using the simplest possible circuit for the microcontroller based robot brain, locomotion motor and the sensor.

Microchip Technology Inc., a leading provider of microcontroller, analog and Flash-IP solutions, today announced its expanded MiWi™ Development Environment (DE), which is a complete ecosystem for designing star and mesh wireless networking products. The MiWi DE is comprised of Microchip’s free, proprietary MiWi P2P, MiWi and MiWi PRO star and mesh networking protocol stacks; the 8-bit Wireless Development Kit (WDK) and ZENA™ Wireless Adapters (2.4 GHz, 868 MHz and 915 MHz); and the multi-purpose Wireless Development Studio (WDS) with cross-platform support for the Linux, Mac OS® and Windows® operating systems.
A few more steps towards a usable system!
* Programmed FPGA to blink LEDs (the most important thing in any project)
* Wrote initial firmware for microcontroller, and it's now able to read/write the onboard flash chip, as well as program the FPGA all by itself :)
Next: some more work on the FPGA and probably initial motor control pretty soon. Well, that or smoke.
