Hi all! Does anyone know of a design to make a nice avr programmer, while addressing the 'chicken or the egg' issue with the chip inside? I think I should get...
I think I can solve this with SPDT lever switches.. Will update with progress! How should one document new works here? Namaste! Chris Sent from my BlackBerry®...
Herr Muller,  I've had similar problems trying to use differing frequency outputs on the same chip. The only way that I've found to overcome this is to use...

You should take a look at Ladyada's website Here's a link to their USB AVR programmer and SPI interface instructions: http://www.ladyada.net/make/usbtinyisp/ ...
The tendency of oscillators to synchronise or phaselock with each other is universal. This synchronization can be controlled to advantage in some circuits but...
Yep! I want just about everything on that site. And ill wind up getting that exact programmer, too! Its just the fixed-income blues kicking in and I'm looking...

... About which there is a fascinating example. You build a _sturdy_ rectangular frame (perhaps even out of brick), put a thick, essentially inflexible bar...
So I was just thinking about my next BEAM project and after a couple hours of thinking not only did I think up a challenging project I also came up with a...
... That sounds like a great project! Don't forget the foils for stability. to increase the "thrust" affix a flexible fin along the length of the tail. I keep...

Hi. I'm having some trouble getting a good solder joint on my wiskers for the robot I'm working on. I have used straitened out springs, with no luck. and some...
The wire can take an enormous amount of heat. Scads. It sure as bezoomny (read "A Clockwork Orange") isn't going to melt. Heat the end of the wire for a longer...
A second method; superglue and a little bit of heat shrink tubing. Works nice for lever switches that use antennas. And I tend to dress up my beetle bots...
You know, one of my projects for the new year was to make a beam wiki.. Would that be used by anyone? Of course, it would be just like any other wiki, people...
Hi, I had the same Idea two years ago. And it is here: http://beam-wiki.org/wiki . Did you think of something like this? Or something completely different? ...
--It helps to keep whatever you are soldering (wires to components, components to components, etc.) as still as possible. That way, you can get a pretty decent...

Hello EM, You have found is that Bicores on a 74xx240 synchronize. Your question is how to negate this property. First, solutions can be found in the summary...
Greetings all, I hope everyone had a merry Christmas Please Chris, feel free to join the work on the BEAM Wiki that Marcus started. I have been trying to add...
Well.. Okay! I will work on it as best as I can!! It will be basic stuff.. grammar and such, I'm new to BEAM robotics. But I can contribute.. I'm actually...
... jab, You can also try cleaning the whiskers before soldering with very fine sandpaper or 0000steel wool. Sometimes the wires have coatings on them that...
... 0000steel ... This can happen with some kinds of wire, as well as whiskers. There's a colored or transparent coating that needs to be scraped off. I use...
COOL! thanks to everyone for their help and Ideas. I hope this might be of some help to others in the group as well. I'll let you know how it all works out. ...
Hi Folks! Happy New Year to ALL One thing I feel that we all have in common ( on this list ) is a creative nature and a strong urge to build. I've always...
