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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Hi everyone, If you haven’t heard, me and my co-partner are building a development board to embed into projects rather than using a full blown Arduino. For more details see this post. Anyway, as one of the first projects for this little board, I have hooked it up to a DS1307 real time clock, and […]
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 […]
Hey people! So a while ago I bought an old Vacuum Florescent Display tube, and attempted to build my own controller for it. Well I’ll keep that story brief but it doesn’t need saying that I failed dramatically, and blew about £60 on it ($96). But I didn’t give up and a couple of weeks […]
