Exotic PCB production colours
Stijn Kuipers2014-05-31T12:49:42+00:00The UI board for the Goldfish v4 is almost ready for production (post will follow soon) - so the search for fancy factories has begun! I was quite charmed by [...]

Playing with adaptive level of detail quadtrees
Stijn Kuipers2014-05-27T17:55:21+00:00Quadtrees never fail to amuse. Source + binary (C#, Visual Studio 2012): QuadTreeImageToy Loosely based on http://devmag.org.za/2011/02/23/quadtrees-implementation/ The usual disclaimer applies: batteries not entirely included, unoptimized, it could be done cleaner..

Kezboards, umlauts and USB
Stijn Kuipers2014-05-27T11:42:58+00:00While searching for some easy-to-add USB options for the new Goldfish development, I revisisted the V-USB package. This package allows you to add USB to any small microcontroller that can [...]
Goldfish V4 UI panel – Encoder Rings
Stijn Kuipers2014-05-19T12:29:29+00:00The FPGA-based Goldfish is still in constant flux. I decided it needed more encoders on the frontpanel, AND some visual feedback for the value of each of the encoders. Each [...]
Drafting the new Goldfish v4 boards
Stijn Kuipers2014-05-09T01:22:45+00:00After playing with the FPGA boards for a while, I decided to completely overhaul the Goldfish board. Spending a bit more time and money will make this box much more [...]
A guide to making digital things
Stijn Kuipers2014-05-08T15:02:46+00:00This Is Not Rocket Science is all about sharing the knowledge on how to make things. We have quietly been working on our first guide (which might grow in to [...]
Notes on FPGA board design
Stijn Kuipers2014-05-06T16:04:04+00:00The happy Australian is at it again! This time, he talks about designing boards with FPGAs and explains various things about using tiny BGA (ball grid array) chips. These 3x3mm [...]
Making the Fletcher Capstan Table
Stijn Kuipers2014-05-05T21:50:40+00:00This particular table has been all over the internet for years, but I had never found any details on the mechanics that make it work. This video provides some details [...]
New PCB order – small DIP protoboards
Stijn Kuipers2014-05-05T18:47:39+00:00Krzysztof Foltman writes: "Another PCB sent to manufacturing. This time, it's a universal 5x5cm protoboard. If you're a beginner at electronics and want to try making a simple electronic circuit using [...]
Fun with FPGA chips: VHDL for VGA and WS2812b RGB LEDs
Stijn Kuipers2014-05-05T18:31:25+00:00In the past few weeks, Stijn and Krzysztof have been playing with FPGA chips. Progress has been made! Stijn has created a servicable text-mode VGA setup: Eventually, a component like this [...]
