ESP8266 NodeMCU Host Experiment
While experimenting with an ESP8266 module, I constructed a project with a photocell sensor that fed illumination data (resistance changes) over WIFI to a PC laptop browser. To accomplish this, ... Read More
Project March
The micro-fan project is done. The march to another one continues. Once templates are set among various project elements such as BOMs, CAD files, libraries, account settings, etc., the rest ... Read More
Stackable Modularity & Support of SBC Functions
This is the thermal management module stacked upon other free-standing modules. Each module that operates on its own, or together in an integrated fashion. With a small SBC based micro ... Read More
Harmonic Difficulties With High-Speed Clock
Here I am chasing harmonics to drain them to ground. Literally. This is what I spent time doing today. Set up a draft schematic by happenstance with a strong drink, ... Read More
Voltage Controlled Oscillator Correction & Substitution
Well. It turns out that I ordered an XO crystal and not a VCXO crystal to build the design and prototype of the timing module. So retreated and went for ... Read More
RPi and TFT Touchscreen Set Up, Programming & Calibration
Today I finished the Linux upgrades, updates, and corresponding TFT calibration. Via puTTY and over WiFi, it took 2-days of continued remote server code query, download, transfer, extraction, and installation ... Read More
RPi and TFT Touchscreen Integration with Linux
The micro slot sensor integration module continues along its path. Today I integrated the Linux operating system and TFT display onto the micro slot module base station mockup. It was ... Read More
Frequency Selectability Experiment with Arduino
Here is a short effort to program the control of crystal frequency output. 8MHz as the standing frequency with multipliers asserted one at a time. This is an experiment to ... Read More
Stacked Power
This power supply generally stacks underneath all SBC modules developed and for those to follow. It is supplied through a 120VAC detachable plug-in to an isolated receptacle. The circuit breaker ... Read More
