12William Dowell | Hardware for Embedded SystemsWhen handling an embedded system project, the same old story doesn't apply. Traditionally, with parts list in hand, you were ready to build. But, embedded applications are more involved. William's examples will better prepare you to create successful designs. |
20Olaf Pfeiffer | Targeting EuropeImplementing CANopenBetter communication helps all relationships, right? Well, standardizing the way internal data communications are structured and exchanged can optimize your system. And, Olaf tells us that internetworking is the sign of the times and CANopen is the route to customization. |
26Brian Millier | Listen AnywhereA Wireless MP3 Remote JukeboxWe've gone from records and 8-tracks to CDs and MP3s. Converting to MP3s has become popular, and how to store the files is an interesting topic these days. Tune in, because this project covers a storage scheme and extends your current MP3 listening area.Download: millier134.zip |
38Gordon Dick | Pigeons, Pooches, and PICsMelding an interest in hunting, dogs, and electronics, Gordon takes us on a transmitter/receiver trek. This month, he sets out to build a radio-controlled dog-training aid to help with his hobby. He's on the mark with this project, so gear up to find the answers you don't have to chase down.Download: dick134.zip |
48Fred Eady | HTML, HTML The Progress of 8051The iKit2000Borrowing a catch phrase from "Saturday Night Live," Fred thinks this month's project is "awesome." Demonstrating what can be done with the oldest, most popular microcontroller, he reviews the 8051. It's the story of a classic standard that still holds up admirably today. |
60Tom Napier | An Exponential Sweep Frequency GeneratorWhen in the end your project doesn't exactly fit the formula of building x to complete y, often you can still benefit from the experience. Tom ended up coupling a silicon transistor and integrated circuit, and he's bold enough to say the result defies Murphy's Law. |
66Jeff Bachiochi | From the BenchTechnology That Improves with Age, Eliminate Senior Moments with SAMIA growing technology in the quest for great voice reproduction, ISD is self-contained, versatile, and requires minimal processing. Teaming it with a microprocessor, Jeff improves his memory. |
74Tom Cantrell | Silicon UpdateBluetruth, Houston, We Have a Problem ...Despite the bare shelves, Tom sees Bluetooth leading us toward a "wirelessly-wired" future. The road might be bumpy, but definitely worth the trip. So, it's time to start planning your new clever applications. |

Circuit Cellar OnlineRobert P. Bisey | HTML S.O.S...Showing Off the SequencerContemporary Design ExecutionBy combining old with new, Robert shows us how to build and use a user-programmable single board microcontroller system to generate automatic Morse code messages for use in Repeater Stations, Field Day Contests, and everyday Ham Radio CW activities. |
Circuit Cellar OnlineNoel Rios | HTML Don't Get Caught in the DarkBuilding a Darkroom TimerTiming is critical, and when Noel's photographer brother asked him to build him a timer for his darkroom, he wasted none and got right down to business. He even found a few other uses for the timer, which he shares with us. |
Circuit Cellar OnlineFred Eady | HTML Fine-Tuning an Embedded IdeaPart 3: Armed and ReadyAs a result of torrential rain on his vacation, Fred got the "opportunity" to check out a TV documentary on Colt weapons. This triggered an idea for the final installment of articles on Rabbit Semiconductor and Z-World computing modules. This article is loaded with information, so sit back and imagine a beach bungalow on the Gulf shore.... |
Circuit Cellar OnlineJames Antonakos | HTML Analog BasicsTransistor Signal AmplificationTaking a break from ones and zeros, this month, James reviews the electronics world from the analog side. With his detailed look into the components of a common emitter transistor amplifier, we see how this circuit can truly be beneficial. |
Circuit Cellar OnlineSteve Ciarcia | HTML Take My Computer, Please!Part 6: Computerized Witch DoctorWay back at the dawn of the microcomputer age, Steve Ciarcia was blazing a trail (sometimes literally) through the hardware and software issues of the era. At the request of many of our readers, we've brought back a series of articles, written by Steve, chronicling the design adventures of those early days in the Circuit Cellar. This month, it's chapter one from Take My Computer, Please! |
Circuit Cellar OnlineGeorge Martin | HTML Lessons from the TrenchesNever Miss an Opportunity, Getting the Most Out of Your New Product IdeasNot every opportunity is golden, and unfortunately, neither is every idea. However, George shows us that, by following a few simple steps, we can weed out the bad from the good, and therefore, know which ones to run with and which to leave behind. |
Circuit Cellar OnlineTom Cantrell | HTML Silicon Update OnlineXLR8R Part DeuxTom takes us back in time to revisit a concept that'll have us thinking about the future -- micro-machined accelerometers. Although these structures aren't yet doing what you might see in a sci-fi movie, they are appearing regularly on the toy and car-manufacturing scene. |
