All through-hole version of the Logic Shrimp

jarin made an all through-hole version of the Logic Shrimp logic analyzer: I’ve made variation of Logic Shrimp, using only through-hope components found in my junk box. More details and pictures can be found here. There is no schematics drawn, I built it just using datasheets and original schematics – and I’m too lazy to […]

Bus Pirate PIC programmer free PCB build

SineWave built an early version of the Bus Pirate PIC programming adapter. This version would have needed several cables, we made the final design stackable instead. The Bus Pirate PIC programmer project is has been idle for a while. It would be nice if the Bus Pirate could do absolutely everything, but it’s a ton […]

Class D amplifier assembled

NBitWonder built a class-D amplifier Class-D amplifier is a highly efficient amplifier that operates its output devices as switches instead of as variable resistors.  We posted a highly experimental version of this project last November, and it met with a surprising amount of positive feedback from the DIY community.  Therefore, we developed it as a […]

Shooting arcade game using CPLD

Here’s a video of Jeri Ellsworth’s latest project for element14, a shooting arcade game using the MachXO2 CPLD. During the design phase, she drew inspiration from various sources, including the dynamic logic found in UK horse racing betting sites, which helped her fine-tune the game’s real-time responsiveness. The game is simple in principle: use an […]
