RLD
I was searching Youtube recently, and found a video of my old band (never really quit or broke up, just WAY less time to play nowadays.) Hit the jump for music and vids. And just a hint here, but we may be recording a little something new pretty soon…
Intro to C++
This is an article I wrote that won First place for the “Instructions: Soft Copy” category from the Society for Technical Communication and UNC Charlotte. Hit the jump to check it out.
My Senior Project
The proposal for my senior project has been approved. I’ll be working with a friend and co-worker, Mike, to build a speech controlled robot using a single chip voice recognition solution and an ATMEGA128 AVR chip. Check out the progress as we build it.
Simple AVR IDE
This is a little project I did in the spring of 2007. I was just starting with AVR chips and couldn’t find a simple, small IDE to use, so I wrote one. The Simple AVR IDE (SAVR) is a tiny IDE that incorporates an open source assembler (AVRA) and an open source uploader/downloader (AVRDUDE).
I wrote it in C++ using FLTK. The whole thing (including source code) is about 2.5MB.
If you use it, please leave me some feedback. I know its not that great, and could use some more functions, but it did all I needed it to do. If anyone wants to add to it, let me know and I’ll comment the source better (at the moment there are practically no comments.)

ProjectBloc
Well, after several months, I am finished building ProjectBloc.com
I had the idea of posting my projects online in an online portfolio of my projects to show for job interviews and networking purposes. The problem is that I’m not a web designer, and I didn’t want to have to learn HTML, CSS, Java, PHP and other programming languages just to have a nice website for my projects. While I was pondering how I would fix that problem, I figured that I wasn’t the only one that could use something like this…
Micro Atari
This tiny Atari plays 7 games. I didn’t make the games myself, I bought them. They are the keychain Atari games. I just made it look better.
I love old school games and these are awesome. The base is just a battery pack with a few wires here and there and the games are actually held in the controllers.
CNC Machine
A while back, I ordered some plans for a CNC machine from ebay. The plans were from Rockcliff. It took me about 3 years of research before I had a chance to really get started. Over the summer of 2007, I (with the help of some friends) started work on it. Hit the jump to read more.

Four Motor Walker
This four motor walker was my first attempt at making both a surface mount PCB and a two-sided PCB. It came out pretty well. I made it around July 2006.
I used 4 bicores, resistor values are 2.2 for the Master bicores, and 10 megs for the corpus callosum. This makes him start off a little weird but once he finds his stride, he’s gone. I added the second PCB on there to carry two 74AC245 motor drivers and to test the flexible PCB material I had.
