Tools of the trade / Wire bonders
P.S. I'm currently working on my own CMOS chip to be produced by MOSIS and see that IC packaging is an issue (too expensive to be practical for low qty manufacturing)

General discussion / Idea of online schematics and PCB "old school" editor...
http://www.circuits.cc
Currently it's a shared sandbox with old good DOS ASCII and pseudographics "palette" (alternative Russian DOS codepage with some custom extensions) - everybody can do anything and anybody else can see it (be careful - I can see all activities and will blacklist IPs in case of any vandal actions).
Planned features: library of components, personal sandboxes, logical simulation, autogeneration of schematics from netlist, autotracing of PCB from schematics and even direct PCB ordering :)
It was tested on:
FireFox 16.0 and 17.0 (best results)
Chrome 23 (good results)
Safari 5.1.7
Opera 9.64, 10.63, 11.52 and 12.10
Internet Explorer 8 and 9
And even web-browser in Android v2.3.6 ;)
Any suggestions, ideas etc?
P.S. Currently only international style of logical gates representation is possible, no US style yet...
P.P.S. If web-page looks too small in your web-browser try Ctrl+ (ZoomIn) a few times to make it bigger ;)

General discussion / Ternary electronics for hobbyists
- to develop simple electronic components for ternary schemes (some of them are ready);
- to develop software package for ternary scheme design and simulation (almost done);
- to develop software emulator of a simple ternary computer (done);
- to develop hardware simulator of a simple ternary computer based on a binary microcontroller (simplified version is ready);
- to build some interesting things from ternary components as ternary adder (done - see my contest entry) or ternary clock (almost done);
- to develop hardware simulator of a complex ternary device based on FPGA (in progress);
- to design ternary integrated circuit that could be programmed to implement any ternary function with N inputs and M outputs - kind of ternary PAL/GAL (just an idea - estimated cost of design is $30K);
- to design ternary integrated circuit that is a simple ternary computer (just an idea - estimated cost of design is $100K).
P.S. Is it feasible to go to Kickstarter with an idea of ternary IC or it will fail miserably?...
P.P.S. Cost of design is based on a number of iterations of actual production of test chips through CMOS 0.5um process by MOSIS...

so it's only 4 years left...
P.S. I think VGA is slowly moving to hobbyist sector - somebody should utilize enormous amount of

Project logs / nedoCPU-32 - board for PIC32 in DIP28
I decided to design simplest possible board around it that will be "hobbyist-friendly" and "breadboard-ready" ;)

Is it OK to post my entry here (or link to my entry) at 01:59AM? ;)
Will your smart forum treat it as "suspicious activity" and delete my account (it was happened once already)?...
