Motivation (You don’t need to read this: to get to the tutorial just scroll down a bit) I work in R&D, in a small team, and the work I do crosses the boundary between hardware and firmware, as many Electronic Design Engineers experience. In the course of this work I’ve found myself tasked with a […]
For those of you who don’t already know, recently we ran a Kickstarter for our Nixie Tube Driver (NTD). The project was a huge success. To follow on from that, we ordered a second batch of drivers to put on our tindie store. The difference this time, however, is that we weren’t building these drivers […]
Arduino is great. It’s easy to use, understand and the online community can answer just about any question you have. As a beginner it was exactly what I needed to dip my toes in the water, just enough problem solving to keep me interested, and enough excitement to fuel me. Most projects I’ve done to […]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fOTFPa6vBL4 So as you can see in the video above, I made a nixie tube clock. It looks something like this (infact it looks exactly like this, because this is a picture of it): Below is the schematic for the project, as you can see I’m using 6 IN12 nixie tubes, each with it’s own […]
Hey Guys, So this project isn’t actually new, I did this around a year and a half ago, but it’s still cool (I think) and still relevant so I may as well share it. This is my homebrew GPS unit! So the first thing you may notice is it’s not exactly neat, well hey? I […]
Hey guys! So recently I ordered a Sparkfun Dumpster Dive from, well, Sparkfun… Above is the video of me unboxing it. If you want to see the photos in a bit higher detail, then check below, also links to most of the products can be found below too (the ones I could find). I unbox […]
So you may recall I was designing a tremolo effects pedal for my friend. Well I got the boards back (lovely quality from OSHPark) and soldered them up and, well see for yourself! Above is the circuit for the project, which I have broken down into little bits. Hopefully it’ll be easier to understand that […]
So for my friends birthday, I decided I’d get him something a little more personal than just a bar of chocolate say, or some money. So I set out to design and build him a Tremolo effects pedal for guitar! First of course, I needed to figure out how a Tremolo pedal works, I’d heard […]
Want to see what a SeedBoard can do? Check this post! Note: SeedBoards are currently not for sale, but if you really want one drop me an e-mail and I will get in contact! So big(ish) news guys! Me and my co-partner Jacob Rawson have been developing a small micro-controller dev board in our spare […]
Above is a video about my Bluetooth Audio Link board REV.1. My revision 2 board is currently up on OSHPark, so go check that out! http://oshpark.com/shared_projects/4JnDnzgH Also if you have got a rev.1 board here are the instructions for making it work properly! Unfortunately there were some design changes needing to be made which I […]
