It’s been a while since I’ve sat down to do some proper VHDL but today (after MASSIVE advances with the Phobass these past few days), I’ve decided to write a miniature version of the HMCU. I say miniature in the lightest sense. Features: MISC architecture featuring 9 Instructions 16bit processing capability (22bit program word length) […]

So after the burst of skating confidence during the jumping skating session (my last post!), my friend and I decided it would be a great idea to try to skate down some steps. We had seen it done by a lot of the advanced skaters at BladeSoc sessions and we had watched…
Goodluckbuy, about the corniest sounding website ever? Nope! It is instead, another Aliexpress-esque market place where you can purchase cool gadgets from. My first purchase off their however was a relatively pricey one ~£70 and consisted of an attachable eye display in an all in one package! Since the inception of Google Glass, I’ve thought of […]
Well, its been an extremely long time since I wrote a blog post and sadly this one is a short one too! 😦 Over the summer, I’ve been working at Imagination Technologies again and going from a lazy student to full time work really takes it out of you. I will however resume my blog […]
With work looming over me (starting tomorrow infact…) I’ve decided to further progress my C implementation of the HMCU. As a bit of a challenge with strings, I decided to build myself a compiler. While its fun writing instructions in Excel, its a bit of a pain because you have to know your powers of […]
You heard correct! I’ve written my HMCU as a virtual machine in C. I’m not actually a fan of the only virtual machine language I can think of off the top of my head – Java though I think thats more at fault to the syntax and way of programming, all that overloading, inheritance and […]
Well! I don’t know how on earth a year has passed since I became the ShockSoc vice president but its come to the end of my (not so) tyrannical (laid back) reign over the year long project and the fruit of mine, Justin’s and Richard’s loins has finally been brought to life! Today, Justin and […]
Well! Its been a long time since my last blog post. Its been a pretty hectic year so far with work and general life. I need to start training for the various Bladesoc marathons that we have planned (Le Mans and Preston!) so I’ve not had much blog time to do general electronics! So where […]
4×4 Font Well! With the advent of multiple new LCDs to test out, I decided to challenge myself to designing a 4×4 font, a pretty grim task if I’m honest. A 4×4 font with good byte packing could store the whole font set from character 32 to character 127 in 190 bytes. Note that for […]
Wahooooo! Exams are over, term starts next week and I’m free other than a few nights out with me chums over the next few days. In the meantime, today brought the arrival of my first ever DSO (Hantek DSO5072P) and a new LCD (the other LCD came a couple of days back but that comes […]
