I have been looking at AvrMacPack as a recommended platform. They have done a really nice job ob doing everything that I was trying to do and they also have paid attention to a lot of detail that I haven’t. Please look at this and tell me what you think. I am considering dropping OSX-AVR… Read more »

Day 1
(Archive of http://www.thing-a-day2.com/2008/02/01/day-1-25/) Today we made 4 things, and broke 2 soldering irons. Thing 1a closet shelves. I recently moved out of my storage unit. While putting most of the boxes into my hall closet I realized that there was a ledge which would make it a no brainer to put in a shelve. So… Read more »
To Do List
(Archive of http://www.thing-a-day2.com/2008/01/26/to-do-list/) For starters I thought i would sit down and see if I had more than 30 things on my to do list that I could do in a day or less. I got stuck fast. Most of the things on my to do list are multiple day projects. So I will list… Read more »

I think I have a new mantra
,
Finally the Wiring board priced as advertised.
For all of my talk of the Arduino being to expensive to deploy I have yet to find its older brother priced anywhere near the $60 that the wiring folks talk about. Until now. I wish this had gone on sale when I was still employed. I bought one anyways.

Harmonica Machines (the portland art center strikes again)
Until November 30th there are about 20 some odd harmonicas being played prosthetically. There is no intelligence behind them but it looks like most of the the mechanism was custom machined and it is worth seeing because it is well done.
Arduino 10, uisp and the rest of us.
I was looking at the new arduino and the api and noticing a few things that should have been implemented a long time in the new board. Not the least of which is the reset being hooked up to the fdti chip so that you dont have to intervene to download your code. There are still a few things that I am missing. Not the least of which is the necessity of using a serial boot loader. If the boot loader uses the stk500 then you would be best off with a cheep clone like one of these.

NDA Rolls (Apple Verses its Developers)
I have spent more of last week wondering why X-Code wasnt signing my code and loading it onto the phone than successfully The introduction of the Iphone and the apple SDK for it seems to have created massive confusion and hurt for the two communities most effected by it.

The ports collection contains a framework of Makefiles and descriptions containing enough information to build the port from source. Using the ports collection on a bsd box is as simple as changing to the port’s working directory and… Read more »
