Diolan plus2 – Diolan bootloader with standard instruction set
nyholku writes: To support my EazyCNC Project I I’ve create a version of the original Diolan bootloader that I call ‘diolan-plus2’ and which does not use extended instruction set making it compatible with C-compilers and still retains all the features of the original diolan bootloader and fits in the 2kB bootblock. Diolan-plus2 published on GitHub. […]
PICnano Breadboard, a 4-Layer Dirty PCB project
jechavarria shared his small 4-layer board based on the PIC18F2550 microcontroller project in the forum: The goal of this new design is try to have an Arduino Nano compatible module but with some new features, such have direct access to the power supply microcontroller. Via the project log forum.
Location based development board
Matt Coates of Sky Labs Electronics writes: So here it is! Courtesy of Dangerous Prototypes Dirty PCB service, I have been able to put together and complete the testing of the first prototype of my very own location based development board. So lets talk about what you’re looking at. The board is a 4 layer PCB of dimensions […]
Creating Android BLE app
Dany over at Elecfreaks writes: If you are an electronics enthusiast, and also fond of programming, I would be very glad to share with you an Android BLE application development method, so you can integrate the phone and MCU to do some more interesting things. Right now we begin to explain how to develop an […]
Nixie Tube Thing – Dirty PCB to the rescue!
Crawford writes: I have been lusting over the Nixie Tube Driver that Ian brought to the 2012 World Maker Faire. When I met him there I asked about board production, but he explained it was a one-time thing. Fair enough. Well it’s 2014 now and DirtyPCB exists. I grabbed the design off the forum, and […]
Programming an Arduino via WiFi with the ESP8266
Gary Servin has been working on a new project a method to flash an Arduino via WiFi using the ESP8266. He wrote a post on his blog detailing the process: I’ve been working on a new robot called RoDI for a summer course at my Alma mater. RoDI is a low cost wireless robot to teach […]
DIY smart RGB strip with BLEduino
Kevenlaker over at ElecFreaks has shared a Smart RGB LED strip with BLEduino project in the forum: Smart RGB LED Strip is based on the development of our BLEduino, using the Bluetooth 4.0, and the sample code written by EF men, by mobile phone APP, to control the switch of RGB LED strip, and the RGB LED color changing. […]
OV7670 image sensor data capture with Atxmega32E5 without using external FIFO
Kehribar has interfaced a OV7670 camera module with Xmegae5 microcontroller without external FIFO: With current configuration, this system sends 20FPS 80×60 grayscale image data over 3Mbaud serial stream. There is 3 byte preamble {0xAA,0x55,0xAA} to indicate the start of a new image frame. Computer software / other MCU can use those bytes to sync with […]
PCB quadcopter frame
Elpis over at Embedded Day decided to design and make his own PCB quadcopter frame: This is my second build and I desired to build the main frame out of PCB instead of plywood like before. I’ve also include the power distribution on the bottom layer of the PCB in order to have a cleaner […]
Password manager
Sjaak posted pictures of his password manager build in the project log forum: I was frustrated by trying to remember my passwords for all my websites, a messy mix of local dev servers, hardware suppliers, and sweeps coins casinos, and got even more frustrated when i need to change a password again after some months. Dont even […]
Making an FPV system
Check out Elpis’ FPV system in the project log forum: I’ve started flying quadcopter and tricopters a few months ago and now I am going towards FPV (First Person View). So, instead of having all the cables around and the different components on top of the other I put the receiver inside the small LCD screen […]
Simple CMOS FSK modem
Dilshan Jayakody writes: This project is about 4046 PLL base simple FSK modem. Under given configuration this modem send digital signals over two frequencies and which is switching around 378kHz and 226kHz. In this system, modulator uses VCO of 4046, and demodulator is based on close loop mode of 4046 phase comparator and external LPF […]
