I considered building the Minifilter into this loudspeaker enclosure, but in the end I decided against it, preferring the flexibility of not being tied down to something quite so bulky when using the minifilter.
However it would have been perfectly feasible to do so.

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.

Working on a simple quad, it's been a project I've wanted to do for quite some time, and some random thoughts I had led me to try it now.
This is the main PCB, its roles are to distribute power, watch sensors (gyro, accelerometer, magnetometer) for stability, and provide control signals to the 4 rotors. Also has two central connectors for add-on boards; I am working on a board with an nRF radio and a flash chip for flight logging, the other could be used for other experimental features.

An Atmel ATtiny24 microcontroller drives an R/C servo wich in turn rotates a line LASER taken from a LASER level.
The microcontroller runs a software real time clock and turns the servo and the line LASER to mimic the shadow cast from the style of a sundial as the time goes.

This Sparkfun treat arrived late last week and I have been utterly consumed by my class until now. So I broke out the new Android IOIO board from Sparkfun, a convenient package all wrapped up and ready for easy access from the Dalvik platform. I have the board cabled to my Nook Color.
In this photo, the app on the left, "Hello IOIO" simply toggles the yellow LED next to the microcontroller. The RED LED signals power. This board requires external power and can power the attached Android device if there is enough current to power everything in the circuit.
It's a convenient platform. One can imagine using it as a versatile physical computing interface for common and inexpensive devices like the Nook or cast-off Android phones.
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.

Breadboard. The upper chip is the microcontroller, the lower one (hidden by the orange wires) is the DAC.
Simple prototyping boards for AVR microcontrollers. This one is designed for the Atmel ATtiny2313, and you can read more about it here. It's a complement to our earlier ATmegaxx8 board.
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.

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.
www.variable4.org.uk/about/intro
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 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.

Dorkbot Bristol, December 2008: The camera and flash are triggered by an Arduino at just the right moment to capture the splash.
Change of plan: I decided to use female connectors for the I/O ports instead of pins. The Molex KK connectors are nice and simple, but I had another look at the Arduino and realised that sockets would make more sense. This way, I can wire up a LED to a couple of header pins and plug it in -- at a pinch, I can just plug wires in directly. In this photo, I've soldered the main chip socket, the crystal parts, the decoupling capacitors, the programming socket and the reset button.
