This is how I'm programming the AVR microcontrollers. I made a little carrier board to hold the standard 6 way socket which connects to the Adafruit USBtiny ISP. My breadboard power supply provides power for the micrcontroller and the whole lot is connected with breadboard wires. The LEDs on this board are for testing the software I'm currently working on. A short time ago the NRM had the Great Gathering and had six of Sir Nigel Gresley's A4 locomotives (including Mallard, which still has the steam locomotive speed record) all in one place. Two have now left but four still remain.
Part of my final project for "Electron Wrangling for Beginners" class at Machine Project gallery in Echo Park.
My project involved building an optical tape reader out of legos. I mounted an LED and a photo-resistor inside a lego brick (using a Dremel tool and hot glue). Then a built
a black chamber around this sensor, so that the light levels could be controlled.
A paper tape with color bars is fed thru the chamber, using lego "capstans". This produced 10 reliable light levels on the photo resister. After finding that the resister was returning values on a logarithmic curve, I modified the printed color bars so that it would return linear values.

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

Microchip's low-cost ENC624J600 standalone, IEEE 802.3™ compliant, 100 Mbps Ethernet interface controllers. These Ethernet controllers combine a 10/100Base-TX physical interface (PHY) and a Media Access Controller (MAC) with a hardware cryptographic security engine, and can connect to any PIC® microcontroller via an industry-standard Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) or a flexible parallel interface. Additionally, each device has a unique, factory-preprogrammed MAC address and 24 Kbytes of configurable SRAM for packet transmit/receive buffering and data storage. This combination of speed, flexibility and features enables designers to create fast, secure network- and Internet-connected embedded applications with minimized board space, cost and complexity. All of Microchip’s Ethernet products, tools, documentation and other design resources can be found on the Company’s online Ethernet Design Center, located at: www.microchip.com/Ethernet

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

This six-member family of 32-bit PIC32MX5/6/7 microcontrollers provides the same integrated Ethernet, CAN, USB and serial connectivity peripherals with new, more cost-effective memory options. Additionally, design enhancements have been made that provide lower power consumption of 0.5 mA/MHz active current, higher Flash memory endurance of 20k read/write cycles and better EEPROM emulation capability. And, by maintaining common pin outs, the PIC32 portfolio provides designers with a seamless migration path to achieve the correct balance of memory and cost for their high-performance applications.

Microchip Technology Inc., a leading provider of microcontroller, analog and Flash-IP solutions, today announced the new SST11CP15 RF power amplifier (amp) for 5 GHz IEE 802.11a/n WLAN embedded applications. The device operates on the 4.9 to 5.9 GHz band, and offers a wide operating voltage of 3.3V to 5V. The SST11CP15 features a high linear output power of 18 dBm at 2.5 percent EVM, using 802.11a OFDM 54 Mbps at 3.3V, and 20 dBm at 5.0V, and offers an output power of 23 dBm at mask compliance of 6 Mbps, at 3.3V. The device is offered in a compact, 2 mm x 2 mm x .55 mm, 12-pin QFN package. It is ideal for 5 GHz WLAN applications where small size and high-efficiency operation are required, such as in wireless multimedia and MIMO applications for broadband gateway and consumer-electronics equipment.

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.)
