Sanguino is an open source Arduino-compatible microcontroller board that is based on the Arduino, and inspired by the Boarduino form-factor. It uses the atmega644P chip which has 4x the memory, ram and 12 more GPIO pins than the Arduino's atmega168.

Freeing the microcontroller from its Arduino shackles.
One could simply lift the micro from the Arduino board and build the key additional components required around it.
However I wanted to use a "fresh" micro, but this required the Arduino bootloader to be burned onto it in order to allow it to be programmed from the Arduino ...
It's all a bit of a faff, but that is kind of "the point" of doing it!
Yet another side project; A while back I designed PCBs for a relatively simple persistence of vision top; This is the top board, with the microcontroller and some sensors.
these boards were sent out to Laen a while back, should be coming back any day now.
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

7-Segment-Anzeige Grove TM1637 mit Microcontroller NodeMCU LoLin V3 ESP8266. Es wird über WiFi eine Verbindung ins Internet aufbebaut und von einem NTP-Server die aktuelle Uhrzeit geholt. Danach zählt der Prozessor selbst weiter und zeigt die Uhrzeit an.
Nachdem es technisch funktioniert hat, habe ich selbst aus Klemmbausteinen ein würfel-förmiges Gehäuse gebaut.

This is an ARM board that I got for free. No idea what I'll do with it, long term, but it packs significantly more punch than an Arduino.
Currently investigating the wild world of toolchains (this is invaluable for OS X). Once I can compile and upload the sample apps, how about getting an RTOS running on it?

Receiver showing signs of life in its new "Arduino-free" environment.
Note that I'm using a different LCD panel as I was experiencing some difficulties with the original one.
No evidence of any power rail decoupling there - however I seem to have got away with it.
The yellow wire disappearing off to the top left is the data line from the out-of-shot MSF receiver.
The LED is "repeating" the data signal as a confidence check that valid data is (probably) being received even before the software has made sense of it.
The LED being ON corresponds to the RF carrier from MSF being OFF.
The final project will hopefully be slightly better engineered!
The stepper motor on the barn door tacker is controlled by the Arduino microcontroller, right. The Arduino interfaces with the stepper motor through the A4988 Stepper Motor Carrier Driver on the breadboard, left. The microswitch is the 'home' sensor that is mounted on the hinge.
On power-on and reset, the control system opens and closes the hinge while monitoring the state of the home-sensing switch to locate the home position, when the actuator is extended at nominal zero millimeters. Thereafter, the controller extends the actuator to open the hinge to match the earth's rotation. (The resistor on the Arduino isn't part of the circuit. I'm using its lead to access the Arduino's Pin 8 ditital output.)
Missing from this circuit are:
- The kill switch that will shut off the motor if the software
looses its mind.
- The circuitry to microstep. As shown, the stepper motor
resolution is 1/200th of a turn per step instead of the
intended 1/3200th of a turn per microstep.
- The 12 Volt battery pack that powers the control system and the stepper motor.
- The DC-DC converter that steps down 12V power to 5V
required by the control system.
I might expand the Arduino's functionality to implement an anti-dew system, too. I have a 12V supply that can deliver plenty of current. Perhaps I'll implement an adjustable PWM output on the Arduino to drive a transitor that will control a heater for the camera lens. It doesn't take much energy to drive off the dew.
The finished LED daughter board. The left-hand end of the header plug has been cut off so that it'll fit the DIN 41612 connector on the AVR motherboard.
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 SST12LP18E is a lower-cost, lower-voltage alternative to Microchip’s popular SST12LP14E power amp.
The PIC16F1934/6/7 are the first microcontrollers featuring Microchip Technology's enhanced Mid-range 8-bit core.

Having found that the ATtiny85 didn't have enough memory to hold my brainwave visualisations code, I put together a little Shrimp circuit to hook up the LED matrix and Bluetooth dongle. Attention data levels is visualised as red LEDs and meditation data levels as green LEDs.
Lissajous figures are interesting curves that occur in systems where oscillation happens in more than one direction, for example when a pendulum hanging from a string moves in the plane.
These pictures are from an easy persistence of vision approach to playing with Lissajous figures. Read more about this project here.

Found plastic flowers, foam, light sensors, mp3 players, microcontroller, speakers, birdsong
An ersatz version of nature; beautiful, yet a little bit deadly when one considers the natural resources required to create such impeccable imitations of vegetation. Is it also a reflection of human hubris... what else motivates the manufacturing of fake flowers? Why replace the ephemeral with plastic permanence? What joy is there in a whiff of a petroleum-based bouquet rather than the delicate scent of a rose? Secret Garden offers an opportunity to contemplate these questions at the same time it tries to seduce you with extravagant color and joyous birdsong performed just for you.
