So... I have a Solarbotics Sumovore robot that I got from a friend (who got it from his friend, who got it from his electronics class), along with an Olimex #AVR-PG2 ISP programmer (also used by the friend of a friend). After fighting with it for a couple hours on Christmas Day (this past one), I di...

Thanks, but that's totally different from the one here.
Can someone confirm one or the other?

Not to doubt you, but I just want to be sure

Thanks... I guess I should have RT*M... the Manual, in this case, being the wonderful http://hardwarebook.info . I just presumed that they operated on a different protocol, especially since the opposite-gendered adapter cost me $8 at RadioShack. (Then again, this IS RadioShack we're talking about......

Hey all, I would have posted this in a specific forum, but it covers more than one. Here's the deal: I have a Pentium Pro desktop that I just resurrected today, but all it has is an AT keyboard port. I was given the wrong keyboard by the person who gave me the computer (which I didn't check until he...

I'm not sure about the quality of recordings with this solution, but you could always try the Winbond Chipcorder series, or other products (maybe) at http://www.isd.com/ . I only ever had one, and I haven't played with it for a while, but it might work, depending on how long a recording you want. Th...

Fair enough... I have a tub full of PICmicros, but I'm putting them on hold until I get better at ASM, or someone releases a Free/Open Source C compiler for them. The GCC target for AVR is a very nice thing, whatever the merits of the MCUs themselves. I'm hoping I can twist the arm of some comp-sci ...

Greetings (No Name Supplied), Sorry for the long post. I'll call it "comprehensive", so it sounds good ;) Did you have a chance to read the article that I cited ? Was it helpful? Comments Welcome! yes, thanks - I think what happened was that I went to that link and got sidetracked for a w...

I haven't used these yet, but Cypress Semiconductor is quite happy to give free samples of their "WirelessUSB" modules to students. (Not to be confused with "Wireless _ USB" - Cypress's is proprietary). They have a double-row header on the bottom, a built in antenna, are really s...

just a guess but I bet it's a 44780 based display. google for that, there are just shy of an infinity of hits... If that's the one I'm thinking of, you're probably right. They're one of the few things that is almost an unofficial standard. I picked up a random 2x16 LCD as surplus, and it was identi...

An audio signal coming from a CD player is just a single signal; you could potentially make something like that by triggering on the vocal frequencies, by filtering out other ones like you would with an equalizer - even better with a DSP - but as Droidwerkz said, it's not simple. If you wanted somet...

sorry to kind of hijack the thread, but is mikroPascal free? I couldn't find a decent compiler for PICs...

most likely... everything else was standard.

I just mentioned that in case someone picks up something like that - it was pretty cheap at The 'Shack in Oregon - that's why I got it. (I wish the neo-Radioshack/The Source stores in Canada were as cool as in the US)

sounds right... just look up the pinout first - I think they're usually standard, but the one I got (Radioshack Vex addon) was different, if my memory serves me right.

I just Googled another number on there - FIRST Google result! http://tim.cexx.org/?page_id=342 Everything anyone needs to get started with these LCDs - which, btw, are also available separately here The first link also has a breakout-board pattern in PDF - here , in case the comment is somehow delet...

Here's pics of the screen, for those interested... notice the slot for the "elastomer connector", the clips and, optionally, the numbers. I've looked it up on http://alldatasheet.com and got the full 65-odd page datasheet from Samsung for the controller. It's nothing fancy, but it has some...
