A few months ago while designing the Arduino CNC Shield I bumped into a guy that was also going through the process of building a CNC machine. Between us we had some good brain storms and ended up with the current version of the CNC Shield. He has been keeping himself busy with a few interesting … Read More →

Real Time Operating System – FreeTROS with LPC microcontrollers
I recently started moving from Arduino/Atmel 8-Bit processors to NXP/ARM 32-bit processors. It’s been a huge learning curve but it opens lots of doors for bigger and better projects. The first set of Micro Controllers I targeted was NXP’s LPC11U14 and LPC4337. These processors run much faster the Arduino’s and they work great for multi-tasked … Read More →
Arduino Fuse settings
I recently worked on converting GRBL to work on the Arduino Mega. There were some issues with the Fuse configuration. Luckily Cody Snyder has done a great job of mapping out all the Arduino Micro-controller Fuse values…. Arduino Uno Low Fuse 0xFF High Fuse 0xDE Extended Fuse 0×05 Arduino Duemilanove or Nano w/ ATmega328 Low Fuse 0xFF High … Read More →
RC Night Time Racing (RC Car + LEDs + ATTiny)
Introduction I recently bought a Turnigy Trooper SCT 4×4 1/10 Brushless Short Course Truck from HobbyKing.com and decided I wanted to do a bit of night time racing. For this projects I wanted some led’s and to round it off I wanted to use a Micro-Controller add extra lighting effects. For this project I picked the Atmel ATTiny84 micro-controller and … Read More →
