Bus Pirate 2 - the USB version
27. June 2009 - 15:57 — adminThe Bus Pirate is a universal bus interface that talks to most chips from a PC serial terminal, eliminating a ton of early prototyping effort when working with new or unknown chips. Now with USB capabilities in the version 2.
Simple CPLD dev board
22. December 2008 - 22:34 — adminA home-etchable, self programming development board to get you started with the CPLDs.
Web server on a business card
16. December 2008 - 2:56 — adminThis mini web server is slightly smaller than a business card. There are a lot of tiny one-board servers out there, but this is probably the smallest you can etch and solder at home. Unlike many embedded web servers, files are stored on a PC-readable SD card, not in a difficult-to-write EEPROM.
The Bus Pirate/Universal Serial Interface
15. December 2008 - 8:07 — adminVery cute idea I like – a universal bus interface that talks to most chips from a PC serial terminal. It deserve to rework!
Multifunctional Alarm Clock
2. November 2008 - 13:53 — adminUnlike old-school mechanical alarm clocks that you have to set manually, this Internet-connected alarm clock provides three primary features: automatic time setting on power-up, streaming MP3 music, and remote management.
