NOPPP is a simple programmer for PIC16C84, PIC16F83, and PIC16F84(A) microcontrollers. It attaches to the parallel port of a PC.NOPPP is an old project, no longer supported and probably not compatible with some newer PCs.[more]
In this exciting project, not only will you have a very unique one transistor FM recevier, but also be in-store for making home-made air-core coils and a home-made fixed capacitor. And even more than that, when you finish ‘your’ project, your journey has just started. With your now-working FM receiver, you can start experimenting with other wonderful things.There are 12 component count on this project.[more]
The Multimodal Music Stand (MMMS) incorporates four Theremin-type electric field sensors, a video camera, and a microphone as input sources for the performance of electroacoustic and computer music compositions. It is designed for interactive music performances using computer vision techniques (such as tracking the position of an instrument), audio analysis / transformation of the performer’s playing, and enhanced expressivity through bodily gestures and movements that are tracked via the four electric field sensors (also known as capacitive sensing).[more]
The Micro Framework is one of the newest kids on the .NET block, but it does something really rather wonderful. It brings embedded development within the reach of any C# programmer. If you know C# and love Visual Studio, you can now get started building hardware and controlling it with your software. Moreover, it lets developers achieve one of their most cherished dreams, to control their festive lights using programs that they have written.[more]
Don’t you ever want to be able to listen to your favorite radio station during your office hours? Do you developing automotive software and need an interfaces for FM receiver chip? Do you want to be notified about traffic jams before leaving office and turning on the radio with TMC in your vehicle? Maybe you want to use RDS to send and receive information over FM? Or you’re just geek and love to deal with uber technical stuff? FM USB library is the answer to those question. This is fully managed and standard library in C#, which can be included into your software and provides support for FM radio chips on USB with full RDB (RDBS) and TMC support.[more]
