Three-way What? Did you ever want to use two add-on boards for the Raspberry Pi at the same time? That was not possible, because the boards were not stackable? Or use a fan and [...]
Some time ago I revised the hardware design of the ControlBlock and added test points for all major signals. The overall aim was to build a device for doing final system tests that are [...]
A while ago I posted a review about the reflow-flow oven T-962A. As written in that post the T-962A has certain flaws: The heat is generated by IR heaters that [...]
Recently, I got a grip to a Cubox-i4Pro. It is a mini computer with low power demand and quite a few interfaces that can be useful for all kinds of things. Also, it has [...]
[dropcap]I[/dropcap]f you are tinkering, doing electronics, and/or soldering you might already have had contact with surface-mounted devices or, in short, “SMDs”. Of course, soldering some of these tiny parts by hand is possible. But [...]
Here are a few impressions of the Maker Faire Hannover 2013. […]
This is a guide that describes how to get started with the RetroPie GPIO Adapter. It is organized as a step-by-step guide: Starting with the sole components and the PCB the hardware assembly is [...]
I have uploaded a short demonstration video that shows the RetroPie GPIO Adapter in action: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0It2YPMuqFQ&w=640&h=385 The video shows the RetroPie GPIO adapter connected with two SNES controllers within a PetRockBlock PIE case. The [...]
