One for the techies
There has been a buzz it seems as of late..I spend hours a day looking through hacked gadgets on the net..keeping up with the latest on goings of the world..
I have alway's been interested in projects utilizing the PIC as it seems that u can almost do anything with it provided u can manipulate the source code accordingly.. it has however caught my attention that a new micro controller is being widely used other that the PIC or the ATMEL.
Arduino based project have been popping up like mushrooms lately, all project looking very complicated if we were to implement on the standard PIC..
curious, why is Arduino getting so popular?
a quick search on Google brought me to its website..here
a read thru and a look at the sample source code, and it was clear why its a popular platform for hobbyist/techo-geeks alike..it's basically can best be described by its simplicity.
its based on open source software and has shown some of the simplest set of codes for doing quite a taxing task..i think some of its most interesting feature is its ability to read analog inputs on the go, without having to program any ADC or DAC coding first..which is a pain if u dont know what u're doing....with that said, a myriad of analog input can easily be converted to its digital equivalent on the fly. it also helps that there are already sample coding on its website on interfacing with complex sensors like accelerometers.
although it may not be as widely accepted as the PIC (widely used by University students for projects), its slowly gaining grounds..
With a thorough website to start learning, its only a matter of time before it catches on here locally. Not sure where i can get my hands on a development board though. I'm hoping i can score some free samples..like i did with Texas Instruments..;p
so, ok ure thinking, why am i so hyped?..take a look on what it can do

For hobbyist like myself, don't go drooling all over the place now..

one for the weekends
Allright- allright..
People have been asking me, why have I been a lazy ass and have not taken the time to write here.
Yeah, i know..i have been lazy, but thats almost synonymous with me these days.. all that i look forward to in a day is the time i get off work, and the time where i can run back to the comfort of my room, my solitude, and where i can happily do as i please..
that has been me this past week and I hope not to stay that way. No body gets anywhere by being lazy.. well..mebe if ure Royalty you can get away with it.. but thats a different story..
well, what have i been up to?
indeed what have i been up to other than the usual boring job i do for money...i find myself constantly asking. what can I do that'll make me feel happy? what can i do to make me feel..content?
There are times when i do question myself..have i really gotten what i want in life at this point? Am i missing things?Have i reached the milestone? Often it is left unanswered, however i do feel that it is one to be answered..soon..
____________________________________________________________________
I have always been a person who is easily intrigued. I like making stuff, a more of a DIY kinda guy.. i cant stand sitting on the sidelines when i know i can do it too..
and, i cant stand to sit around on my ass, doing nothing..so with that in said, i found myself a little at home project i can do...things that would be fun to do..
yeah, made my own makeshift fish eye lens..bought a peephole at a local hardware store, and pick up some stuff out the bin at home..a little elbow grease here and some good ol tape there..voila!!!
interesting thing to play around with...but still needs a few tweaks here and there though...cant seem to focus right..most of the pics come out blur..ill get it proper and running soon, and a pic of it to boot..
im dying to try the light trail thing..looking for a gang to do it with...ngaa..when..oh when~~
why?..
look HERE...nuff said..
