The USART-based bootloader is probably the most popular way of burning code to the AVR. The Arduino, for one, uses this method.
For example say you were using a FTDI cable to talk to your Arduino. First the USB connector end of the cable would go into your host computer. The other end of the …..
Okay, this is my first post on the HackHut blog-worklog thing. I’ll post some of my previous projects later and I will be adding descriptions about my current work too. It will mainly involve robotics, electronics and some other machanical stuff. Everything you can do out of junk using soldering iron, welding equipment, angle grinder, screwdriver, saw and knife.

Currently doing some work with long range wifi. waiting to finish what I’m doing before I share my results, their looking pretty good.
Recently did some work with the solar pendulum by Solarbotics…Check out my pages if your interested in seeing how it went.
(Sorry no pictures, my camera batteries were dead. And once I am in the zone – its hard to stop and find more batteries.)
I was looking into purchasing one of the all-in-one MIDI keyboard, knob controller, drum pad jobbies. There are a few models out there, but the axiom 25 looked cool, and seemed right. I had read about …..
Besides investing mildly into new hardware to keep me able to waste my time I also did some real hacking, or at least prepared it.
During a long phone call with a good friend I got an interesting idea. There’s a company that offers modules for almost all BMW models with which you can turn them into your own custom …..
No I didn’t die. My mother actually did, but that’s neither about tablets nor technology.
Until some weeks ago I was still using my trusty Fujitsu T4210/15 as my main mobile computer and the TC4400 slate I built myself also saw some use from time to time. But the hinge of the T was obviously starting to show its age …..
I’m separating the controller for the 7 channel audio selector as it’s own build… since it has issues of it’s own to note.
It’s using (from pc to micro logical view) a usb-to-serial converter and pic microcontroller. Also on the pc side is the interface app.
The usb-to-serial converter is a module from DLP design, which uses the FTDI’s FT232BM ic. …..
So, a couple weeks ago I’ve ordered some mechanical watches on eBay,why?
-Inexpensive
-Good looking
-Kinda reliable
-Really nice mechanical interior,fun to watch and show
Ok so now,everybody know that often,cheap good looking stuff can’t be reliable.
So upon receiving 3 of em, I wondered just how accurate they were at keeping time….
First obvious point : why don’t you set them and just check the …..
This is a song I’ve made in spare time,between 2 circutis boards…
