The chipKIT™ Pro MX4 is a microcontroller development board based on the Microchip® PIC32MX460F512L, a member of the 32-bit PIC32 microcontroller family. It is compatible with Digilent's line of Pmods, and is suitable for use with the Microchip MPLAB® IDE tools. The chipKIT Pro MX4 is also compatible for use with the chipKIT MPIDE development environment.
The chipKIT Pro MX4 provides 74 I/O pins that support a number of peripheral functions, such as USB controller, UART, SPI, and I2C ports as well as five pulse-width modulated outputs and five external interrupt inputs. Fifteen of the I/O pins can be used as analog inputs in addition to their use as digital inputs and outputs.

I didn't have a USB2TTL cable laying around and so I looked in to what one entails. Turns out the magic in those cables I already had in a break-out board.. I just soldered on a header and used a little breadboard to pull over the pins I needed. But alas, it didn't matter. All the magic was gone from that FTDI chip anyway. Though I've ordered another one of those rather than paying more for a whole cable that doesn't give me the same flexibility.
This shows the new controller and lights being tested in Nestbox1 for the 2009 season. The heart of the system is an AVR microcontroller (the ATtiny2313). It controls eight white LEDs and two IR LEDs, and communicates with the controlling computer via an EIA-422 link. Both the EIA-422 signals and power are carried over a single CAT5 cable.
The computer sends signals to the controller to vary the light levels throughout the day, at night only the IR LEDs will be on so as not to disturb any occupants.
DIY home laser show.
New SMT controller for laser spirograph installed into 4 x 4 enclosure.
Note custom wire holders made from PVC tubing.
Double Sided reflow! And it worked! This might seem obvious to some but to recap. We used the hot skillet / hot plate method to attach the top LEDS to the board. Let it cool then we placed the bottom side in an toaster oven to flow the micro and a few other components on. ONLY heating the top element (broil). Using a laser temp gauge we were able to successfully (on the first try) reflow the bottom components without removing the bottom leds.
This toaster oven was $29.99 (aldens wife got on sale for 20).
The laser temp gauge is $29.99

Very cool stuff!
David presents an interfacing Arduino and Adobe Flash. Dorkbot crowd makes up a quick game called "Busy Proctologist" using some craft items, a pressure sensor, and the goatse image.
The crowd concluded after finding a latex glove, a styrofoam ring, some bubblewrap, and some red and brown felt, and a pressure sensor that the game would be called "Busy Proctologist."
Gameplay involves "examining" as many patients in the day as possible (measure by a 1 minute timer in Flash) without causing undue discomfort during the rectal exam (exceeding a moderate pressure range measured by the sensor and arduino.)
Microchip Technology Inc., a leading provider of microcontroller, analog and Flash-IP solutions, today announced the expansion of its RF power amplifier portfolio, with the addition of the new SST12LP17E and SST12LP18E devices. The SST12LP17E is the smallest fully matched power amp in its class, requiring only one DC bypass capacitor to achieve optimum performance. The SST12LP18E is a lower-cost, lower-voltage alternative to Microchip’s popular SST12LP14E power amp. It offers the lowest operating voltage of any Microchip RF power amp, while operating at -20 to +85 degrees Celsius. The devices feature operating voltages as low as 2.7V, linear output power as high as 18.5 dBm at 2.5 percent EVM using IEEE 802.11g OFDM 54 Mbps, and 23.5 dBm for IEEE 802.11b and a high power-added efficiency of up to 38 percent for IEEE 802.11b. They are ideal for embedded WLAN applications where small size, high efficiency and low-battery voltage operation are required, such as in the consumer electronics market, in cell phones, game consoles, printers and tablets.

Arty Artix-7 FPGA: Development Board for Makers and Hobbyists
Arty is a ready-to-use development platform designed around the Artix-7â„¢ Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) from Xilinx. It was designed specifically for use as a MicroBlaze Soft Processing System. When used in this context, Arty becomes an incredibly flexible processing platform, capable of adapting to whatever your project requires. Unlike other single board computers, Arty isn't bound to a single set of processing peripherals; one moment it's a communication powerhouse chock-full of UARTs, SPIs, IICs, and an Ethernet MAC, and the next it's a meticulous timekeeper with a dozen 32-bit timers. Additionally, with the universally popular expansion headers (Arduinoâ„¢ R3 Headers and our Pmodâ„¢ headers), Arty will become the most adaptable tool in your project tool box.

The chipKIT PGM is designed to work with the MPLAB® and MPLAB X development environments available from Microchip. This allows the chipKIT boards, for example, to be used as a more traditional microcontroller development platform using the professional tools available from Microchip. While the PICkit™3 programmer can generate programming voltages needed to program all Microchip PIC devices, the chipKIT PGM can only program devices that are programmable with 3.3V programming voltage. Further, the PICkit3 can source a small amount of current to provide power to some boards being programmed. The chipKIT PGM does not provide power to the board being programmed.

This photo is from a workshop on Program Night at the Suncoast Camera Club in Pinellas County, Florida. It requires the use of either a Micro Processor or at least a Micro Controller. You have to be able to control the time between the release of the Droplet (of Water) and the triggering of the camera. It is also suggested to use a dye to color the water.
Even with an adjustable timer, the capture is a Hit or Miss proposition. These two photos were taken with a specialized camera setup belonging to Presenter Ron Mayberry. Each camera club member brought a Compact Flash Memory Card, which Ron inserted into his camera to take the photo after which the Flash Cards were returned to each member with the recorded photos.
Microchip's MPLAB Starter Kit for PIC18 Microcontrollers (part # DM180021), contains all of the components, documentation, schematics, debugging and programming capabilities needed to evaluate the high-performance PIC18 8-bit microcontroller (MCU) family in low-power USB and touch-sensing applications. The complete kit is available today at www.microchipdirect.com for less than $60.
Because cad/cam products can't compete with pen and paper.

I study electronics on third year, and I will probably be on the third year also next year, so it’s best time to finally get some interest into my studies. I find microcontrollers are very powerful tool to know, so I’m playing a little bit with Microchip PIC’s with PICKit2. I’m curious to see what these little chips can do :)
The MPLAB C Compiler for PIC32 is a full-featured ANSI compliant C compiler for Microchip's PIC32 family of 32-bit microcontrollers. A free evaluation is available by downloading the Evaluation Edition. It has no code size limit and provides complete functionality for 60 days. The compiler is completely usable after 60 days other than certain optimization levels are disabled. The compiler is fully compatible with Microchip's MPLAB IDE and popular third party IDEs.

Microchip's MRF89XA transceiver has extremely low receive current of 3 mA for longer battery life in 868, 915 and 950 MHz Sub-GHz wireless networks. For additional information, please visit Microchip’s online Wireless Design Center at www.microchip.com/get/D2C7.
Breadboard. The upper chip is the microcontroller, the lower one (hidden by the orange wires) is the DAC.
The four-member PIC24FJ256GB210 microcontroller family integrates USB for Embedded Host/Peripheral/On-the-Go and 96 Kbytes of RAM. This large RAM enables the buffering of sizeable amounts of data and better overall throughput, for applications such as Ethernet connectivity, remote sensing, data logging and audio streaming. It can also be used to store generated images or data for dynamic content, such as real-time, remote sensor data graphs. In combination with Microchip’s free USB software library and TCP/IP stack, these MCUs lower system costs and footprints in a broad range of industrial, instrumentation/measurement, medical and consumer applications.
