Having had a Toyota GT86 for a while I quite enjoyed the built-in rev alarm and winding the engine all the way round, until an old lady made it an insurance write off. Though, I did have the luxury of driving a BMW 430d M Sport hire car from my insurance for a few months. …

This is a library for use with the Si4463 radio IC from Silicon Labs, used (or will soon be) in some of my projects. The Si4463 is configurable in a ton of different ways with options for modulation, packet format, CRC algorithms and has a high output power of up to +20dBm (100mW). The Si4463 …

This is where I’ll be uploading builds of AVR-GCC for Windows 32 and 64 bit, which will also include Binutils, AVR-LibC, AVRDUDE and Make. I’ll be trying to keep the builds up to date with the latest tool releases when I can.

This is a lightweight library for keeping track of time to millisecond accuracy, the data type for storing milliseconds can be easily configured, it supports ‘unsigned long long’ which can keep track of time for 584.9 million years before overflowing! Any clock frequency up to 20MHz can be used, most of the commonly used frequencies …

The nRF905 is a radio transceiver IC similar to the well known nRF24L01, but operates at 433/898/915MHz instead of 2.4GHz, has a much longer range and a few extra IO pins. However the nRF905 data rate is only 50Kbps compared to nRF24L01’s 2Mbps. This library offers quite a bit of flexibility: Optional use of interrupts, …

This is a quick project I made to try out a 1.8″ colour LCD display from Ebay, the microcontroller code is very simple, after initializing the display it just waits for serial data and sends it straight to the display. Image processing is done by the host program, open your image (drag on to the …

I had been eying up Arduinos and looking into getting started with digital electronics for a while and now finally brought an Uno along with a 16×2 character LCD with RGB backlight. Wow. It’s like I’ve unlocked a whole new world of electronics, for years I’ve looked at digitally controlled devices like LCDs woundering how …
