Ever wanted to control something from a knobby-looking USB peripheral? In this example I wanted to control the PicoScope software from a bunch of encoders mounted on a USB peripheral:

Interested in a low-cost method of holding a scope probe securely against your PCB board? For this to work you'll need a scope probe with a spring-loaded tip. I came up with this idea since the PS6000 series scope I was using from PicoScope comes with such…

This is the final product, it can hold a PCB for testing without needing to have soldered any pins to it: And without the PCB mounted: I got parts from ebay seller “pingf123”. Parts used were: “4 Edge Latches for Phototype Test Fixture PCB ICT” “20 Chisel…

Here is an ongoing project: it’s a high-speed ADC combined with some nice input preprocessing (amplifier). It’s all controlled by a FPGA on the Avnet LX9 Microboard, so it just plugs into that. Here is a simple python app (still being improved) to control it:…

In my effort to build the calibration software for my simple Digital Compass, I’ve been working on doing tests with it. Here is a screen-shot of the output (using MATLAB to interface to the serial port), it shows a plot of X & Y magnetic field readings…

File not found. FIP has passed IPv6 Ready Silver (Phase 1) testing when operating as a host device. Next up is the router test, then full Gold (Phase 2) testing. See the entry at IPv6 Ready Forum

I’m still working on finishing uploading & setting up documentation, but I’ve finally put some of a new IPv6 stack online. It’s designed to fit in a variety of applications, including WSN where you might have anything from tiny 8-bit microcontrollers to…
