14Glen Worstell | HTML Ham Radio Repeater LocatorHam radio enthusiasts no longer have to manually tune the radio as new repeaters come into range. Glen's Ham Radio Repeater Locator consists of a Zilog microcomputer with the locations and frequencies of several thousand repeaters stored in its flash memory. The system displays the distance to the nearest eight repeaters and more.Download: Worstell_169.zip |
22Joe Grand | Understanding Embedded SecurityThe more literate you are on the subject of embedded security the better. But it's a complicated topic, so where should you begin? In this article, Joe shows you how to reduce the number of vulnerabilities in your embedded designs and evaluate the threats against your products. Designing offensively may be your best protection against attack. |
28Tom Napier | PICs, DRAMs, and Graphic DisplaysBuild a Graphics LCD DriverSometimes you have to mix old and new technology to meet your specific design needs. Tom knows this well. He recently followed this line of thought to build a multipurpose graphics LCD driver, which he hopes to use for applications such as a graphics terminal and a pocket oscilloscope. The serial interface for the display includes a PIC16C57 and old RAM chips.Download: Napier_169.zip |
34Rich LeGrand | Closed-Loop Motion Control for Mobile RoboticsRich recently came up with two closed-loop drive train designs for mobile robots. All it took were some inexpensive permanent magnet motors and a simple feedback scheme. In this article, he covers everything from PID control and tuning to trajectory generation and operational space control for two robot bases. He also explains the software.Download: LeGrand_169.zip |
From the Bench48Jeff Bachiochi | Is There a Robot in Your Future?Emerging Robot TechnologiesA lover of all things robotic, Jeff was beaming when he returned from the recent Emerging Robotics Technologies and Applications Conference in Cambridge, Massachusetts. This month he discusses some of the most exciting innovations in the robotics industry.Download: Bachiochi_169.zip |
52Seenath Punnakkal Sameer Cholayil | E-Field Sensor-Based Monitoring SystemWhether you're looking to build a simple suitcase alarm or a high-tech surveillance system for your home, you'll want to study Seenath and Sameer's design before you begin. From a description of the MC33794 e-field sensor to useful programming tips, this article will help you get started on your own monitoring system.Download: Punnakkal_Cholayil_169.zip |
Above the Ground Plane62Ed Nisley | Stepper DrivePart 1: AnalogThe motors in Ed's milling machine were whining, so he opened the controller box and started working on the problem. In this two-part series, Ed explains how he reworked the controller box to run a bit quieter.Download: Nisley_169.zip |
Applied PCs68Fred Eady | PSoC 101Analog design doesn't have to be complicated, especially if you use a PSoC. In this column, Fred describes his PSoC development system, which is geared toward the CY8C27443.Download: Eady_169.zip |
Silicon Update78Tom Cantrell | MotoringPart 2: Motor Control Chips and SoftwareLast month, Tom covered the types of electric motors you have at your disposal. Now he switches gears to the topic of silicon and software. |
