I have a new post on Hackaday: Trekulator: A Reproduction Of The 1977 Star Trek Themed Calculator.
AVR128DA48 Curiosity Nano evaluation kit
These AVR128DA48 Curiosity Nano evaluation kits look kinda cool. I think I will get a few to play with. The debugging chip on them should work with the MPLAB X IDE I believe.
IC Packages
Today on my wiki I made some notes about IC Packages.
Biasing Transistors With Current Sources
I have a new post on Hackaday: Biasing Transistors With Current Sources.
Microchip PIC & AVR Examples
Microchip has a bunch of helpful code samples over on github: Microchip PIC & AVR Examples. 745 repositories! Oof.
MPLAB PICkit 5
I am saving my pennies so I can buy the MPLAB PICkit 5 In-Circuit Debugger and Debugger Adapter Board.
Other things I am interested in but that are a bit beyond what I’m willing to pay for at this point in time include:
I am planning to install the MPLAB X IDE, I just haven’t got around to it yet. I will do that after I have purchased the PICkit 5 programmer.
Ten cent micro
I watched this fun video about how to use a ten cent microcontroller:
Happy snap
How To Easily Program The ATtiny85
This is a note for Future John. I found this no-nonsense video about how to program the ATtiny85 using an Arduino: How To Easily Program The Attiny85
MilliForth-6502, A Forth For The 6502 CPU
I have a new post on Hackaday: MilliForth-6502, A Forth For The 6502 CPU.
Some material was deleted by the editors so I have included it below for the archive.
The main code is the assembly code in sector-6502.s.
These are the commands I ran to take it all for a spin:
mkdir /tmp/milliForth-6502 cd /tmp/milliForth-6502 git clone https://github.com/cc65/cc65 cd cc65 make sudo make install cd .. git clone https://github.com/ShonFrazier/lib6502 cd lib6502 make sudo make install cd .. git clone https://github.com/agsb/milliForth-6502 cd milliForth-6502 touch out source do1 sector-6502 wc -c sector-6502.out hd sector-6502.out
