Rickard Gunée - PIC Mini Dice

PIC Game system - Hardware description of the system that is running pong and tetris.

AVR Color Clock - A clock using the standard resistor colors (+2) to show time with two RGB LEDs.

PIC Mini Dice is an electronic dice based on a PIC10F200 and built with surface mounted components.

Even though this is a very simple project, it requires some surface mount soldering skills, proper tools, and a steady hand as it is built with surface mounted components only.

Bill and Mark Sherman Make Robots

From Joule Thief Artbots to Picaxe Projects. Bill and Mark Sherman are Making Things that Move.

See me at Maker Faire!

Some are Mood Beam Autopsy Make an artbot out of a Mood Beam toy. FireFly Project Make a "Jar of Fireflies" using a Picaxe Microcontroller.

High Speed Photography - HSP

"Many physical processes evolve on timescales shorter than the human eye can resolve. Effectively, this means the details of how the process changes with time are lost in a blur. High speed photography, or HSP, is simply photography with extremely short exposure times,...."

PIC RISC microcontrollers - Peter Luethi

PIC RISC microcontrollers - Peter Luethi

This website provides you helpful information about Microchip PIC 8 Bit RISC microcontrollers. Several assembler source code listings are available for non-commercial use. There are also tools for using your PC for measuring or regulating electronic applications. I'am working on several projects, e.g. a precision digital altimeter to use in my radio controlled airplanes.

The Original Electroids Kits

The Original Electroids Kits

Electroids Kits are fun, easy, and educational project kits that bring back the joy of hobby electronics. Each kit includes all the parts you need plus easy-to-understand, clearly written instructions.

The Original Electroids Company - Info: Arduino Nano

"The Arduino Nano is a small, complete, and breadboard-friendly board based on the ATmega328 (Arduino Nano 3.0) or ATmega168 (Arduino Nano 2.x). It has more or less the same functionality of the Arduino Duemilanove, but in a different package. It lacks only a DC power jack, and works with a Mini-B USB cable instead of a standard one. The Nano was designed and is being produced by Gravitech."
