The Secret Project Circuit Bward She Works! Yhey!
Seen here resting upon The Development Environment of Kings.
This is the first time I've attempted to make a circuit with a surface-mount microcontroller. In this case, a SOIC version of the Atmel ATTiny861. How very encouraging that it works and did not splode!
I goofed and forgot to take a picture of the underside of the assembled board, which is where all the interesting bits are. But you know what? I made two of them, so I can take a picture of the guts after assembling the other one. Or I could just remove the high-tech protective backing on this one, which - like the one on the Ad-Hoc Power Supply - is a piece of cardboard held in place with electrical tape.

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

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

Because there were some questions, here a picture of my microcontroller hardware. I added some notes to the picture.
This is a side view of the model R/C tank I am designing on a gearbox + Tracks & wheels from Tamiya. The radio is Hitec and two receiver servo outputs feed my microcontroller-based Pulse Position Modulation to PWM converter power output to the two motors.

Just got myself a new Arduino UNO. It took me just a few minutes to install the software and load an example program to test the board. Because its based on the C language and im familiar with that its very easy to write code for it. Look forward to using it in a project soon...
As the electronics hobbyist one of knowledge that we have to be familiar with is how to make our own printed circuit board (PCB). Making our own simple single side PCB actually is not require a sophisticated technique and technology as you might think, instead most of the required materials is already available at your home.

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.

In June, the Friends of Freeman Library received a generous $1,000 donation from United Space Alliance. U.S.A.'s donation supported the purchase of at least a dozen Sparkfun Inventor's Kits, which will allow older kids and teens to learn in a series of special library programs the basics of microcontrollers and how they work. Our CreatorSpace partners have also pledged help with instruction in these programs. Many thanks to U.S.A. and CreatorSpace for their continued support of Freeman Branch Library!
The 8 pins PIC12F683 microcontroller is one of the smallest members of the Microchip 8-bit microcontroller families but equipped with powerful peripherals such as ADC and PWM capabilities. This make this tiny microcontroller is suitable for controlling the DC motor speed. In order to demonstrate the PIC12F683 capabilities and to make this tutorial more attractive, I decided to use the PIC12F683 microcontroller to generate simple and yet fascinating laser light show from a cheap keychain laser pointer.

Trying out some xmegas. Read more here.
(This board doesn't actually have USB, but it uses a USB port for power. I'm using this board here so that I can power it from my laptop.)
to run it around in the real world and get a little experience at high framerates. Controller and camera in old VHS tape box. Cheat sheet on left cover shows framerates as indicated on LED bargraph on controller. One button control system scrolls through bargraph. Each position is a different framerate except the last one which lets camera pause. If button is not pressed for 30 sec, it starts the indicated program.

An impulse purchase, and the physical design means it isn't that convenient to use, but interesting nevertheless ...
I'm still exploring the basic behaviors of transistors and capacitors, since I've never seen them explained terribly well beyond "capacitors store charge!" and "transistors switch and amplify!"
I'd gotten the Parallax BASIC Stamp HomeWork board for Christmas, but never got around to programming it since, well, it's programmed in BASIC, and the BASIC tokenizer doesn't work under Linux (well, not without some trickery, anyway). Compare that with the Arduino, which can be up and running in a matter of minutes, and uses C/C++ and the GNU toolchain.
I picked up the voltmeter at Ax-Man Surplus. It looks nifty and chunky, but unfortunately the needle isn't damped at all, so it wobbles a lot when voltage goes on or off. It's an EMICO NF2C-2137. The company is "Electro-Mech. Inst. Co. Inc., Perkasie., PA., U.S.A." Ah, the goold old days, back when the period was the "e-" or "i-" prefix of its day (and yes, there was really a period after "Perkasie" on the label)..
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.
