12Martin Courtney | 2-D or Not 2-D?If you're at that point where 2-D surface images just aren't doing the job anymore, then it's time for you to move on to more sophisticated 3-D surfaces. In this article, Martin walks us step-by-step through a project to create 3-D surfaces that can be oriented in real time.Download: Courtney-147.zip |
20Richard Hosking | High-Frequency JobFrequency Counter and VFO ControllerIf you're looking for a way to stabilize a free-running local oscillator and obtain a frequency readout in one fell swoop, then Richard has the solution for you. How about a board that's comprised of an AT90S1200, a gate/prescaler circuit, and a loop filter/VCO control circuit?Download: hosking-147.zip |
24Jens Altenburg | SOPHOCLESA Solar-Powered MSP430 RobotWorried about the side effects of that presumably noxious gas that's lingering in your basement? Rather than trying to waft samples into an empty jar for your local health department to assay, try following Jens' lead by building your own gas-detecting robot.Download: Altenburg-147.zip |

But when it comes to imitating the physical world, Hollywood looks to engineers. Philip and Bruce describe how they faked a flame and illuminated an audience with a real-time LED-based candle.Download: ching-147.zip |
36David Prutchi Michael Norris | Convert Your PC Sound CardMake a DC-Coupled Arbitrary Waveform GeneratorMany consumer-grade sound cards are insufficient for inducing signals that have low-frequency or DC components. However, with the right software, a PLL circuit, and a little know-how, you can convert your PC sound card into a precision DC-coupled arbitrary waveform generator. |
44Roberto Ferrabone | Choosing Your LCDChoosing the right LCD and controller can be difficult, especially when their signal names don't match up. But, as Roberto explains, it doesn't have to be a major problem. In this article, he will show you how to pick the appropriate devices for your own applications.Download: ferrabone-147.zip |
50Ed Nisley | Above the Ground PlaneAudio TransformationIf you've ever had a problem connecting your PCs to a sound system, and chances are you have, then listen up. In this article, Ed shows us how he took the mystery out of audio transformation by building an isolated mixer for PC sound card audio. So, get ready to connect.Download: nisley-147.zip |
Embedded PC54Fred Eady | HTML Applied PCsDesign with STKxxx Parts, Build an Ethernet ControllerFred first introduced us to the STK500 starter kit. Now he's back with the newest tool in his Atmel toolbox, the STK501. In this project, he combines the STK501 daughterboard with the STK500 and ASIX Ax88796 to build a 10/100-Mbps Ethernet controller.Download: eady-147.zip |
