Open Mobile Gadgets

An open source, open hardware mobile phone in its preliminary development.


=== TRAXMOD MOD Player === Open source MOD music player for dsPIC/ARM microcontrollers.


PG31 GPS RS232 Dev Board

A simple RS232 example project that takes 3.3V TTL serial and outputs to a super-common RS232 connection. Insto-NMEA!


PG31 GPS USB Dev Board

A great example project using the CP2102 USB to TTL UART IC as well as some basic battery holder info.


Chalk Roach

Ultra simple microcontroller development board for Atmel ATmega32 = 16MHz, 2KB SRAM, 16KB Flash


24" Wall Clock

A really big wall clock. Why? Well, cause it might look cool? Probably not. But we do use GPS to get the time! Groovy.


Cellular Rotary Phone

An indepth breakdown of the Port-O-Rotary. Some clues to help you avoid audio problems with the GM862.


Das Brewmeister!

An attempt to wirelessly monitor temperatures of fermentation vessels


Fermenter Controller

A web available fermenter vessel controller. Uses PICs, i2c, Rs232 and python.


My [[1][Md420]] fermenter controller belongs to the [[2][PyPicn]] family of projects. (GTK)gui and software is written in python and works on windows and Linux alike. It talks to the PC's serial port using TCP sockets thus allowing multiple connections to the one device.

  • For example. One application is used to collect data, temperatures etc and log/ display graphs.
    • A second app simultaneoulsy requests data and can re configure if required the control features.
    • A third can collect data for a web page. etc etc
  • some [[3][screenshots]] which reminds me they need updating.
  • Its by no means a simple solution.
    • However the sytem can and is used to control all manner of Home automation and other devices across the web or locally.
      • Its an extension of a work related project

Home controller

Program your appliances to operate automatically in conjunction with your weekly and daily schedule, manually turn them on/off from your PC or use the controller as a process ON/OFF controller to regulate some kind of physical variable to the desired value.


Interactive Lock Box

An interesting project using an accelerometer and capacitive touch ICs.
