Preface I’m currently doing a project that uses a tiny SSD1306 based OLED display. I’ve searched all over the internet but couldn’t actually find any data on current measurements done by people so I thought I’d do a couple and put them up here! The OLED I’m using is a standard 128×64 pixel version that […]
I’ve been reading up as much VHDL as possible these last few days as I’ve recently found out that the majority of my summer is going to consist of writing it! After seeing loads of implementations for HD44780 16×2 character based LCDs, I couldn’t find any examples for the easy to get LCDs (by easy, […]
Wahoo! With two exams down, I have my last one this Wednesday and nearly all of my free free time (time not spent skating and revising) has gone to improving my watch. Its actually getting to the point now where I’ve got so much code that without optimisations, it doesn’t all fit on! I’m currently […]
Well! Its been a long time since I’ve actually blogged as I’ve been so busy! I’m now back at university (with 25 hours of contact time/week), along with vice president’ing UoN ShockSoc (https://twitter.com/Shock_Soc) and being the general secretary of BladeSoc (https://twitter.com/UoNBladeSoc), leaves little time for me to do much else! I have however been asked […]
As with nearly all cool electronic devices that I buy, this one too came from the foreign lands and was off eBay (http://goo.gl/jbcKE6 – Link will expire as with all eBay links)! One of the features that I’ve wanted to have in my watch that I’d actually find really useful is the ability to have […]
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 […]
Today, using one of my favourite PCB companies ever, I sent off for my Phobass IV PCB’s to be made! I didn’t get round to designing the “string” PCB as that will require much more though and I’m wanting to jump right into finally completing IV! I’ve also fully completed the menu system and at […]
Finding cool electronic parts on eBay is great and buying them from asian countries is even better, one of these is an 128×64 pixel OLED display! (Example: http://goo.gl/4nL2eL) I’ve got an SPI version of this display and with lots of help from the data sheet, I’ve made a library suitable for the STM32F0 discovery board, its […]
