“I’ve been working on some new features that allow not only automatic schematic generation, but also complete board layout. I made a little Bluetooth robot to test it out. Or rather, I asked my computer to design one for me.”

“I decided to build a more modern robot using current technology and parts as the world of robotics has gone through tremendous change in the last 15 years! These notes go over the design thoughts and ideas of this new robot and hopefully serves as a guideline or better yet, inspiration for someone else wanting to do the same. ”

“Prototyped in Summer of 2010, this sensor weights 125 milligrams, this mass including optics, image sensing, and processing using an ATtiny processor. Details may be found at this post on Embedded Eye. The image sensor is a Centeye Tamalpais chip- two versions are available, with resolutions of 16×16 and 8×8 on a focal plane about 450um wide.”

“The IR object detection module is quiet easy to make. This circuit below is a low cost / low range object detection module that you can easily make at home using IR sensors. We will use a photodiode and IR LED to make a simple circuit. IR led looks like a regular LED that you usually see in Television Remote controls.”

“I was asked to give a workshop regarding sound art in Super Public Art School that is held at Titanik-gallery in Turku. As I have been working lately with microcontroller based sound synthesis I searched for a good topic around this area. So the idea to build pocket sized audio players came a long.”

Now it’s time for our second bonus lessons on PyroEDU’s Digital Course. We’ll finish the course off by looking at 4000 Series Logic Devices. Here’s a quick intro of what this PyroEDU lesson is all about:

This bonus lesson dives into the more advanced 4000 logic IC’s available to us as designers and looks specifically at 3 interesting IC’s. The experiment for this lesson is to build a 4-bit single IC counter.
