I love e-ink displays. Their ability to make something digital seem just a little bit analogue intrigues me and I just had to make anything that makes use of one. Like many, many other people on the internet that turned out to be a weather station. The initial aim, seeing […]
In this post I will discuss some of the basic concepts needed to add PS2 type keyboard support to your next project. For the examples I will be using an Arduino Uno, but the idea is to generally keep the post generic so that it’s also useful on the platform […]
During the last couple of months I have started using my Blue Pill boards more often for even the smallest of projects and tests. When using them with STM32duino in the Arduino IDE they are just as easy to program as a normal Arduino UNO. In a previous post I […]
Maybe you have also looked at some Arduino circuits posted online and noticed an interesting way in how some circuits handle high input pin voltages. With high I mean anything above the typical Vcc + 0.5 rating given in the ATMega328p datasheet. Lets look at an example, in a previous […]
A couple of weeks ago I was searching for a cheap brushed flight controller, for a mini quad project, and stumbled upon the Beecore Lite. At 26mm x 26mm this little guy featured a STM32F030 MCU with MPU6050 IMU and a built in RC radio receiver. All this for less […]
When you start to experiment with radio frequency circuits and projects one of the tools that is a must have is a RF signal generator. Sometimes you want to test the response of a filter and need to sweep through a range of frequencies or need to generate a carrier […]
In recent years the FPV (First Person View) drone racing industry has grown tremendously with tournaments around the world offering up to one million dollars to the fastest pilot! The widespread interest has flooded the market with low cost components that is of decent quality, making it easier and cheaper […]
In this post I want to talk a bit about the use of accelerometer and gyroscope sensors to perform attitude (roll, pitch and yaw) estimations. Systems that perform these kind of tasks are often referred to as AHRS (Attitude and Heading Reference System) and is commonly used where it is […]
Part 1, part 2 and part 3 of this build can be found in the links. In this post we will look at how to complete the build now that we have Retropie running on the Raspberry Pi, the screen working and an enclosure to put everything in. Controller The initial planning […]
Part 1 and part 2 of this build can be found in links. The size of the enclosure, and the whole system, was completely dictated by the size of the screen I decided to use. The initial idea was to buy cheap portable game systems from eBay, remove whatever was […]
