It could be used for making beer also. It continuously monitors alcohol percentage by counting carbon dioxide bubbles and then back-calculating the amount of alcohol produced. On the PC side, a VB.net application to interrogates Teensy at a specified frequency and reports back the number of bubbles counted and converts volume of carbon dioxide produced to mass of ethanol produced.

DEFCON 19: Hacking Victims Over Power Lines Free Model Foundry MitchTech Teensy USB Development Board The Teensy is a complete USB-based microcontroller development system, in a very small footprint, capable of implementing many types of projects. All programming is done via the USB port. No special programmer is needed, only a standard "Mini-B" USB cable and a PC or Macintosh with a USB port. Update: Discussion / Support Forum Teensy 3.1 changes from Teensy 3.0 Teensy Loader Application Software Development Tools WinAVR C compiler. Teensyduino, add-on for Arduino IDE. Simplified USB Examples or Dean Camera's LUFA library. Breadboard Usage The Teensy is available with header pins, for direct no-soldering-required use on a breadboard, which can also be run from the +5 volt from the USB cable. The 128x64 Graphics LCD can be used with Teensy 2.0 and Teensy++ 2.0 and Teensyduino using this GLCD library.

My Electronics Lab Finally we arrive at the part I enjoy the most....SOFTWARE! Yes, if you haven't guessed it by now I am a software guy. I have been fooling with electronics since I was a teenager, and did take some college classes in EE, but my degree is in computer science, so software is where I get really excited. Depending upon the hardware being used, the software and the development environments are obviously diverse. Most of the re-usable robot components I have been working with lately are all based around Microchip PIC chips. All my PIC programming is done using both Assembly, and 'C'.
Welcome - Welcome! Welcome to Spritesmods. At this site, I'll document my more interesting hacks for your viewing pleasure. While it's not updated that regularly, I try to add an article about every month. Ow, by the way: all the pictures are thumbnails. You can follow Spritesmods on Twitter too if you want to know about the projects I'm working on, that may or may not eventually make it to the site.

Teensyduino - Add-on for Arduino IDE to use Teensy USB development board Teensyduino is a software add-on for the Arduino, to run sketches on the Teensy and Teensy++! Running Sketches on the Teensy Most programs written for Arduino work on Teensy. All of the standard Arduino functions (digitalWrite, pinMode, analogRead, etc) all work on Teensy. Teensyduino is also compatible with many Arduino libraries. Teensy is not limited to only serial device type. All communication is performed at full native 12 Mbit/sec USB speed. Teensy has the same built-in peripherals as Arduio: analog inputs, SPI, I2C, PWM, and a real serial port. How Does Teensy 2.0 Compare With Arduino? On May 19, 2012, Arduino Leonardo was released, using the same ATMEGA32U4 chip as Teensy 2.0. Both Teensy 2.0 and Arduino Leonardo support USB Serial, Keyboard and Mouse.
Defcon 18 - Programmable HID USB keystroke Dongle - Adrian Crenshaw - Part.mov Printed Circuit Design & Fab Magazine Online Dynamic new co-design strategies will give the PCB designer the flexibility to re-map legacy package pinouts. The approach to IC chip packaging design has remained fundamentally unchanged since the 1970s. The chip design team lays out the silicon die and decides what type of IC package to use and how to assign the pinouts. While efforts continue to make co-design of electronic assemblies a reality, no clear communication channel presently exists between the chip and PCB design teams. In spite of the recent hoopla to bring co-design into the mainstream, the long-standing protocol of IC design may never entirely go away. In looking at a circuit board’s initial design process, the board designer typically makes a series of tradeoffs between electrical, thermal and mechanical needs. Typically, the pinout of one chip at a time is optimized, then cycled to the next chip until the total circuit board is optimized to the satisfaction of the board designer.

ATOMS-EXPRESS | We help kids make things that do things. As you may have heard, or might have guessed, things at Seamless Toy Company have been a little rocky these past few months. Last year was a high speed blur as we developed and ramped production on 20 different ATOMS and ATOMS Sets simultaneously to ship in time for the holidays. Since mid-January, we’ve been catching up on the details and fallout of moving at that pace – typical “startup” growing pains, but it has also driven us to re-evaluate (or at least re-clarify) what we are trying to accomplish here. When I started outlining the ideas that lead to ATOMS about 10 years ago, I had just recently finished my MS at MIT in supporting “grassroots inventors”, and I was working at Apple. Fast-forward to 2013… the “maker” movement is mainstream. DIY nirvana for everyone right? The “maker” sentiment may be mainstream, but actually making things, is still primarily the domain of a highly experienced, highly skilled audience – the technical 1%. What are some of the things you want to build?
