Well! Today, I didn’t feel like doing anything particularly productive so libraries were pretty much not an option. Instead, I decided to make a really simple oscilloscope which merely displays the current sample voltage and a trace of the samples on the screen using my ILI9163 and graphics libraries. The input voltage is specified from […]
Since printing floating points is probably much more important than the speed of this library, I’ve included a new function that allows the printing of floating point numbers! The function explanation is really simple and here it is: int8_t PNumF(float Num, uint8_t X, uint8_t Y, uint8_t Prec)Just like with the standard PNum function, this function […]
WAHOO! Today, the blog hit 1,000 views! Thank you all for spending your time and effort to read through my posts and I hope you’re enjoying them because there are many more to come! Harris
After much (not much at all really) consideration, I’ve decided to immerse myself in the world of multiprocessor programming using the awesome XMOS startKIT series of chips! As with a lot of IC companies these days, XMOS offer a really cheap hobby level kit to get used to their processors (http://goo.gl/lG5pt0). I bought mine for […]
Only a quick update! So on Monday, I started my job at Imagination Technologies, wahoo! Not much to say really (more so that I’ve signed an NDA and don’t fancy breaching it), I’ve had a fair bit of trouble with my house but that’s not a massive biggy really, I should hopefully be moving in […]
Today has actually been a really successful day! I finished the routing of Watch 3 and sent the gerber files to ITead Studio for them to be developed into PCB’s, managed to get my personal Bluetooth packet system working and had a tasty postal order through! One of the things that came in the post […]
Well, today has certainly been a productive day! I recieved my new HC-06 bluetooth module (I stupidly ripped up the RX trace on the other one trying to unsolder it from the backboard) and have managed to implement the “harris protocol” system! I’ve gone for a really simple protocol as the module itself only sends […]
For the first time in a good few years, I got my first order off Farnell! I had a bit of a ‘mare’ the other night as I realised that my soldering iron had broken and just as I was about to receive the PCB’s for Watch 2. So as my closest easy access and […]
After doing a bit more research into homemade smart watches, I came across this brilliant forum article (http://goo.gl/7mI1Dm). This guys watch is utterly amazing and uses a memory LCD. These LCD’s are quite out of my price range at ~£14 each! So after another eBay search, I found a total 1.44″ gem (http://goo.gl/3Tfg7e Link will […]
As some of you might know, one of my main most favourite hobbies ever is playing bass! When bass playing and electronics mix, the end result is generally either the Phobass or bass effects pedals! I had previously made many pedals in the past and two were consistent additions to my pedal board but stupidly, […]
