I'm bringing up the gen2 circuit board.
This should be the sort of thing that a qualified electrical engineer would whip out in a matter of minutes.
But, I'm a programmer who likes to mess around with technology, so things sometimes take a little longer than they ought to.
Or I connect power to ground and ground to power. I do that sometimes, too.
But now, I can program this board to do stuff, once I get the LEDs all soldered up.
Soon, you will start seeing this board in my light art. :)
I have been working on it. First I got it to display simple pattern and then display text.
The people at MAKE blogged my little escapade. I clearly must make a gift for them. :)
Power adaptors to operate the microcontroller at 3.3V (top) or 5V (bottom). In both cases the 3.3V regulator and polyfuse on Calunium is omitted. By inserting one of the adaptors onto the auxillary power connector the voltage at which the microcontroller operates is easily selected. Power is supplied via the USB or FTDI connectors.
I built these so that I could power the board via USB for development and then fit a shield containing a boost regulator for battery powered operation. The combination of the right-angled connector on the stripboard and the polarized Molex connector on the PCB prevents the adaptor from being inserted in reverse (but not misaligned).
Mating the microcontroller to the LED display, making sure where everything lines up.
Part of the high-tech holiday decorations project.
From 1971. It used Nixie tubes for the display, Four digit with a key to shift the display to the other four. Unusual since it used a gold plated pad and stylus rather than keys. The price new was equivalent to $750 today.

People have been asking me to actually talk about my feelings. There is a consensus that I don't talk about what I feel. Often you'll just hear me say "That's cool" and "Awesome" or "Sucks" and "Not Cool."
So let me say this, In the photo above, I feel poetry. I feel something like bpNicohols and Christian Bok. More than anything else I feel Jeff Knight's poem 'Peyote'. I don't feel Jeff's poem visually here, I feel it in what will become of this arduino board.
It will become the Living Day. And to quote Jeff's poem:
"Raindrops hit the windshield and sliver up the right.
Sometimes the raindrops spell words in languages that I have forgotten how to read.
It keeps running thru my mind that I should have brought my camera. I could capture all these drops all these words. I could take them home, I could study them later. I could learn to decode the complicated hieroglyphics of water on glass. But its not such a great idea.
There Isn't enough film in the world.
The hiss of the tires in the rainy dessert night smells like... coffee."
What inspires me to feel generally fits within two categories: Jazz or Poetry. Rarely both.
This microcontroller that I was working on, at this exact moment, was poetry.
To give you an idea of what my eyes see as Jazz: At a bus stop on 22nd and Walnut, Philadelphia, there is a row of residential buildings. From that bus stop, looking straight ahead at the sides of all these houses, jazz lives in the arrangement of the windows to rooftops places in the hands of time's mismatched architects and construction crew's need for conformity and price. It is, to me, the closest thing I have ever seen to John Coltrane's Ascension.
Some Dave Brubek's recording Impressions of Japan has most Center City's Spruce street in Philadelphia covered (when it is sunny and not too hot.)
On 13th and Walnut, sitting on the stoop and looking up to right at the skyline, The transitional period of Miles Davis's outward perception between "Kind of Blue" to "Live Evil" exist, depending on the time of day and cloud position. It is a feeling of the street and the feeling of it passing thru to the inside of me.
So, dear consensus, for the moment until I can better explain 'my feelings' you are just gonna have to live with Jazz and Poetry.

Microchip Technology's RE46C190 3V photo smoke-detector IC with horn driver and boost regulator. The world’s first smoke-detector IC to offer low-voltage operation with programmable calibration and operating modes, the RE46C190 IC enables the desired operating modes to be selected and calibrated during manufacturing. This simplifies smoke-detector design and manufacturing, and reduces component count, and cost. Additionally, the IC’s low operating current of 8 microamperes typical enables up to 10 years of operation from a single Lithium battery. Two Alkaline batteries may also be used to power the RE46C190.
Have you ever thought that most of our perception about the robot is based on the Hollywood movie! The well-known 3CPO and R2D2 from Star Wars until the little cute garbage compacting robot named WALL-E; all of these machines are example of our dreams or should I say our quest to what we all think about the robot should be. Although the robot that we are going to build here is still far away from the technologies shown on those movies but at least it will give you an introductory to the robotics world. for more information please visit www.ermicro.com/blog/?p=983

We developed a music player based on the Arduino Lilypad microcontroller board. The system plays a kids song with the using the acccelrometer. Five different directions represent the the notes C, D, E, F, G which are used to play little songs. We programmed the LEDs such that they indicate the flow of the melody. The sample video plays the beginning of "Hänschen Klein" [Wikpedia says: "Hänschen klein" is a traditional German folk song and children's song originating in the Biedermeier period of the 19th century. The title translates to English as "Little Hans". en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hänschen_klein] Find the video of the system in action unter: www.youtube.com/watch?v=x2INT71RGfI
