The PIC-Programmer Board is an easy to use interface for programming. The full featured Windows programming interface supports baseline (PIC10F, PIC12F5xx, PIC16F5xx), midrange (PIC12F6xx, PIC16F), PIC18F, PIC24, dsPIC30, dsPIC33, and PIC32 families of 8-bit, 16-bit, and 32-bit microcontrollers, and many Microchip Serial EEPROM
My career as a computer programmer/analyst gives me an occasional chance to prepare charts and graphs. There is a much an art as there is a science to preparing these; a good one should give a complete and accurate picture on its own. The most famous example of this is French mapmaker Charles Joseph Minard’s map of Napoleon’s unsuccessful campaign into Russia; it not only shows the route Napoleon’s into Russia and back, but the number of Napoleon’s troops, distance, temperature, location, and direction relative to specific dates.

Back in 2013, I thought it would be neat to take my lineup of Taurus models, and grow it into a “3-D chart” that shows the evolution of Ford cars going back to 1903, in roughly 1/64 scale.
It is hard to see the bands of color; but they represent various eras of Ford design evolution, from the Brass era and Vintage era of the Model T, through the pre- and post-World War II era; on up to the Kinetic Design era of today. The gradual shading shows that design changes did not occur overnight, but through succeeding releases of different models. My breaking up of the timeline to fit on three matts had an unexpected outcome – the first matt shows the early history of Ford cars when Henry Ford was alive, the latter the “Jellybean years”, and the one in the middle represents when Ford stopped placing its trademark blue oval on its cars, and instead used a herald and/or the F O R D name in all caps. Hence, the logos in the corner of each matt. The different rows show the rise of Ford of Europe and the Mustang, along with the various models through the years. The vertical component are the cars themselves; showing how they evolved in style and size over the years; for example, the SUVs/CUVs of today are roughly the same height as Fords prior to 1955.

What was most amazing about the project was the availability of so many models and marks. There are some I actually had to leave out because of space constraints – a 2002 Ranger by Motor Max and an EXP by Etrl, just to name two – because there simply was not enough space. There are also 15 paper models; see if you can spot all 15 of them.

"People who work in the fields of science and technology are not like other people. This can be frustrating to the nontechnical people who have to deal with them. The secret to coping with technology-oriented people is to understand their motivations. This chapter (of The Dilbert Principle by Scott Adams) will teach you everything you need to know."

This is a little serial programmer i built up for Arduio. It uses a max232 chip instead of the inverter that the official kits use, which means it gets a full voltage swing on the output. Other than that, it should be the same.

The Nixie Watch project plods on! Software development begins.
Every project needs to go through this phase, at least in my scheme of handling things.
Here we see the Development Environment of Kings hosting an Atmel ATTiny861 microcontroller (MCU). Just out of shot is my laptop, upon which I wrote software for the MCU that causes it to blink an LED. This is a nice quick way to make sure that I haven't fried the chip and that I've wired everything up properly. For the programmers out there, I consider this step to be the "Hello World" of MCU programming - though this implementation is a bit more sophisticated than it needs to be; the LED blink is driven by a timer interrupt.
This version differs from the IN-14 clock version linked above in that it's all powered by batteries. One of the challenges of designing the watch software will be to set it up so that the MCU draws a minimum of power - not a pressing issue for a clock which is going to be plugged in to a wall socket, but critical for a thing like this which I would like to run for months on a trickle of current.
The little black box in the center right contains 2 AA batteries, which are standing in for the single lithium watch battery which will run the MCU in the real watch. Below it is the display power supply with its own battery. Getting the MCU and display working together is going to be the tricky part. To conserve power, the MCU will run a program that will cause it to immediately shut itself off - but not quite all the way off; it'll be just awake enough to notice when the display power supply fires up. That is, when the watch's wearer presses the button to show the time. At that point the chip will awaken, fetch the time from a crystal-based real time clock chip (not yet wired up), and start showing it on the nixies. When the wearer releases the show-time button, the display power supply will be disconnected and the MCU will notice that, stop trying to display the time, and hibernate again.
Interestingly, if you find such things interesting, this is the way most battery powered computerized widgets work; for instance, games on the Nintendo Game Boy (which I used to program, back when I was younger and even dumber) spend most of their time with the main processor asleep like that. At least they do if they were written well.
After a bit more fiddling I will be able to wire this to the display prototype and it will start being a watch - at least in the functional sense. Trying to wear the prototype on your arm would be like wearing a very geeky buckler.
