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 […]
The other day I was watching TV on a Virgin V6 box when I thought how convenient it would be to be able to ask Alexa to change the channel; I started scrolling through the menus when I stumbled across a setting for “Network Remote Control” that was disabled. There was no information on what […]
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 […]
If you want to get started with creating your own 16×2 HD44780 LCD display for interfacing with a Microchip RN52 or a Doayee BAL, use the buttons to find out more about our Arduino library, or the Bluetooth Audio Link project itsself. To see the specific example sketch referenced by this post, click here. You […]
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 […]
A request from a customer for advice surrounding our BAL (RN52 Development Kit) product, based on the RN52 Bluetooth Adapter from Microchip, wanting to use the product for streaming audio from a microphone to a separate Bluetooth master recording device using the HFP protocol led to more headaches than we could have expected. The Microchip […]
Good evening everyone! We have just launched the Kickstarter campaign for the Bluetooth audio link – BAL. Please have a look at our Kickstarter page, it is here: Kickstarter Please find all documentation under the BAL link at the top of this page.
Hi everyone, Today we are submitting our kickstarter campaign for aproval for the new BAL – Bluetooth audio link. As you can see from the previous posts, it has been a long time in development, but we are nearly there! We have a brand new board capable of bluetooth audio streaming through an amplifier and […]
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 […]
