Accelerometer Testing
This post looks into the actual output of the accelerometer and investigates several filters that can be used to smooth the data. I am slowly working towards the second phase of my microcontroller project. I hope to have a new proposal ready soon, but for now I have been working on my signal processing. I am very [...] -
Final Project
Class: ECE 2620 – Intro to Microcomputers Semester: Winter 2010 Instructor: Dr. Hassoun Essentially this project is a two degree of freedom robotic arm controlled by an accelerometer. The accelerometer is mounted on a breadboard that the user can tilt in space controlling the direction of a laser pointer mounted to the arm. The entire project is programed in assembly [...] -
Linn LP12 Plinth Study (WIP)
This is going to be a study of various Linn LP12 plinths, both Linn plinths and aftermarket plinths. This page will act as a dumping ground for the raw data until I have time to actually put everything together in a meaningful way. What I hope to find in all of this is a resonant behavior [...]

Switch Bounce
Most people who have dabbled in embedded design know that all mechanical switches have some amount of “bounce” where they are not making solid contact for a short time after being pressed or released. If you manage to read the button fast enough that you make more than one reading while the button is still [...] -
Introducing Scopezilla: HP 54720A
I decided that I needed a scope for my projects a few weeks ago. After searching for a little while I decided on a used HP 54720A. This thing is a monster! It is about the size of tall kitchen trash-can and weighs a whopping 75lbs. For all that massiveness you get 1.1GHz bandwidth, 4GS/s (thats four [...] -
Equate File for HC11 Registers
I couldn’t find an equate file of the registers for the 68HC11 anywhere online, so I just typed it all in myself. To spare others from the same tedium I am posting it here in hopes that anyone who needs it can find it easily. The file includes both the extended addresses of each of [...] -
Lab 2 – Quantitative Metallography
Quantitative metallography is the study of metallic crystal structures from the perspective of numeric quantities. Examples of quantitative metallographic measurements include number of grains per unit area and fraction of specific phase per unit volume. These two quantities are what we will investigate in this lab.
