At that time I was looking for a low-res camera for simple robotics image processing, and all I had experience with was PIC (12, 16, and 18) microcontrollers. So I didn't really get to work on the images real time (not enough RAM or spe...

Today you'll be learning how to use PICAXE. Hooray! So what is PICAXE? PICAXE is, essentially, a little piece of metal and plastic you can make do stuff. Simple enough? You tell the board to send and receive various electrical pulses, which you can in turn manipulate to drive motors, blink l...

So I created this system with breadboard that has satisfied me. More space free In this development system, I put two protoboards turned 180 degrees from each other. The space that is left to just enough ...

When I got LaunchPad, I was very much eager to play with it but soon I found that there was no playing area as such. I really admire TI people as their LaunchPad is the lowes...

Polyhedral dice used in D & D are even more fun, particularly in big handfuls of different sizes. But a handful isn't always practical. Ever since I saw the dragon bone electronic die wand advertised in the back pages of Dragon magazine when I was a kid, I wanted an electronic device ...
