Half man, half (ant, beetle, grasshopper, cockroach…), the ultimate dream of creepy sci-fi locomotion. I’m sat here with a 6 legged centaur like image in my head, somewhat like the Scorpion King from The Mummy (exceptional 1999 CGI). Probably about the strangest intro to a post I’ve ever written but hey! It’ll do. This is […]
A couple of people had requested that I give some example code on using the I2C peripheral in an interrupt controlled manner. By using it in this manner, the processor can achieve other tasks while also doing I2C transactions giving a multi-tasking feel to a program. In this example, I combine using the DRDY output […]
So I’m looking to do some analogue synthesizer design and one of the coolest sounding basic waveforms for a synthesizer (imo, of course) is the sawtooth wave. The sawtooth wave is pretty much described by its name – a wave that increases linearly then drops off as fast as possible, as if to imitate the […]
Well it has been absolutely ages since I last posted! I’m blaming it on exam season. Regardless, I’ve done managed a quick project in between the immense revision and what not. Here, I’ve coded up a really simple audio range sine wave quadrature generator (sin[x] + cos[x]) with a frequency range from 0Hz to <24kHz, […]
It’s certainly been a while since I wrote a tutorial, a lot of the STM32 ecosystem has changed and its probably time I changed with it. CubeMX was developed by ST to streamline application design and creation. It allows for a visual method of generating initialization code without needing to know the ins and outs […]
So I’ve been looking quite a lot into minimum cost robotics as of late and have been searching for the best drive methods. I’ve been looking for a slow high torque motor and the standard for that generally lies with stepper motors. Having searched around on eBay and Aliexpress for the cheapest stepper motors, I […]
Building a clock really is about as textbook as it gets when it comes to electronics projects – especially on the internet. I however have never build a clock (not intentionally anyway… I wouldn’t count the measily effort of my smartwatch!) so I’ve decided to have a go at one. Instead of doing one of […]
The other day, I reached 100k views! Thank you all for your visits and comments and keep on doing! 🙂
Sadly, my summer is coming to its end so I’ve been taking my trikes out for as many drives as possible to get the last few miles out before I return to Nottingham. I’ve decided to take a video of me driving around my estate – for your pleasure, of course! Yeh, I look like […]
Drives galore! I’ve had quite a few drives round my estate both on and off road – super legal… of course, all private land… yada yada yada. I’ve done a small video showing parts of the trike and my gran filmed me driving around in the bottom of our close. Battery life and performance […]
