Dave @ daveshacks.blogspot.co.uk takes a look inside the first ARM microprocessor and explains it's design. With that in mind I embarked on my own attempt to reverse-engineer parts of the armv1. Some background knowledge of the processor's architecture is helpful, and googling for...

Sjaak has published a new PCB build, uC controlled dummy load: With no snow outside I finally got around to solder the 3rd PCB. It is the second revision of a microcontroller dummy load. It is loosely based on the arachnidlabs uc:load. It uses the same base ciruit and adds a...

Jelmer Tiete has designed a development board for the TI CC2538, that is available at GitHub: It’s a nice little system-on-chip with an ARM Cortex M3, 2.4 GHz 802.15.4 radio and it runs at 32 MHz. Perfect for all your favorite Internet Of Things (IOT) shenanigans. Contiki supports...

The Galvanic Skin Response (GSR) is a property of the skin to exhibit electrical characteristics. It is also known as Electrodermal Activity (EDA), Electrodermal Response (EDR), Electrodermal Level (EDL), Skin Conductance Activity (SCA), Skin Conductance Response (SCR), and a lot...

Parker Dillmann @ macrofab.com has designed a wrist LED binary clock based on PIC16F527 Microchip mcu. The Macro Watch stemmed from those constraints. I picked the PIC16F527 microcontroller by Microchip to be the core of the watch because it was the cheapest MCU I could find that had...

ihsan Kehribar @ blog.kehribar.me has been working on a MIDI capable, polyphonic FM synthesizer using an 32bit ARM Cortex M0 microcontroller and an audio codec. Polyphonic FM Synthesizer with STM32F031 -...

FT900 is 32bit RISC MCU developed for high speed, interface bridging tasks. FT900 provides a large amount of connectivity options. To name only a few, FT900 can: ● process data from parallel camera input and send them via Ethernet ● transform data from camera to create...

Sooncheng @ instructables.com shows us how to control a DC motor using the L293D IC and an Arduino: L293D is a chip that enable us to control two motors together with only one Arduino board or other microcontrollers. However, I was having a project that required controlling four DC...
