The Ghost Gunner

Posted April 1, 2018 by Chris

"Ghost Gunner is a non-profit open source hardware effort by Defense Distributed. Ghost Gunner builds on the open source community’s existing hard work, including the gshield 3 axis motion hardware, the grbl g-code parser and motion controller, and the legendary Arduino microcontroller. All GhostGunner schematics and design files will be published into the public domain."

Arduino Programming With Shift Registers

Posted March 29, 2018 by Chris

"Today I’ll attempt to teach you a little bit about Shift Registers. These are a fairly important part of Arduino programming, basically because they expand the number of outputs you can use, in exchange for only 3 control pins. You can also daisy-chain shift registers together in order to get even more outputs."

300mW DIY Laser Cutter

Posted March 26, 2018 by Chris

"I built this laser cutter after being inspired by [a project I saw] and the design is almost identical, there for I will not go into details about my build but will instead focus on what you can do with it."

The Occam’s Microcontroller

Posted March 14, 2018 by Chris

"’Occam’s Microcontroller’ is my article in the Autumn 2013 edition of the G-QRP Club’s ‘SPRAT’ Journal – and the subsequent presentation at The G-QRP Club’s Rishworth QRP Convention, 26th October 2013. This page exists to provide supporting resources for the article (and for subsequent presentations associated with it). These resources include code, schematics and PCB design files."

FPGA Audio Peak Level and Correlation Meter

Posted March 11, 2018 by Chris

"I started this project more to gather some experience with FPGAs, rather than to design or own such a device, but it ultimately developed into a complete design, consisting of several boards."

OSC and MIDI Foot Controllers

Posted March 8, 2018 by Chris

"The goal of this project is to provide open hardware design of OSC (Open Sound Control) and MIDI foot controllers, primarily targeted for use with SooperLooper, distributed under the GNU General Public License."

ATMega32A Dev Board V2.0

Posted March 5, 2018 by Chris

"It was found whilst using the original ATMega32A Development Board that there was a couple of things missing that would make life much easier. So here is is the updated version of the ATMega32A Development Board V2.0."

Electrostatic/Smoke Precipitator – A Simple One

Posted March 2, 2018 by Chris

"A smoke precipitator, or an electrostatic precipitator, is a device which removes smoke or other particles from the air using high voltage electrostatics."

ATiny 170×240 VGA with 8 Colors

Posted February 23, 2018 by Chris

"So what can one do with an ATTINY-85 and no other external components, an 8 pin package that leaves ONLY 4 IO lines after you feed it a clock?? How about 4 color rock solid VGA with stereo sound!!! I kid you not, with only 4 IO pins, this little AVR pulls it off."

DIY Basic Cellphone

Posted February 20, 2018 by Chris

"An exploration into the possibilities for individual construction and customization of the most ubiquitous of electronic devices, the cellphone. I investigate the implications of digital fabrication and open-source hardware for DIY practice."
