I found some Kalman filter code for a Sparkfun IMU-5DOF board. It is written to run on a Mega168. I don't have a Mega168, I gave them all to Terry as he burned...
... It looks like I'll be in the cities Friday to pick up more auction items. Things to work on. 1. Solder wires to those encoders for a new project. (The ones...
... I have a photocopied sheet that Rich provided, and if you look at it from the back side (components on other side of PCB) there is a table of pins to...
I got a gyroscope board on Ebay. Mainly because it was $12.99. http://shop.ebay.com/xv-3500cb?_from=R40&_trksid=m38&_nkw=xv-3500cb&_naf=1 I showed it to Alan...
I found more on beer brewing on the Sparkfun web site. (Actually I guess it led me to OpenCircuits web page): http://www.opencircuits.com/Das_Brewmeister! And...

Does anybody have any thoughts on project boxes? I wouldn't have had a major desire for metal boxes until I found out I could not get my GPS receiver to work....
Okay, here is another question... (actually it is not a question, it is me thinking out loud) The reason the boxes came up is because I found a PCB deal on the...
Alan and I went to MakerFaire. (Brian and Bruce were there too, hocking stuff.) Alan and I went to a seminar called "Napkin Schematics". It was hosted by Natan...
I think this would be a ton of fun. I watched the net TV broadcast of the SparkFun class when they had it a couple months ago. The piece that I think is...
These are all good ideas for group discussion. You have put more thought into these than a "what-if" idea. But I think any of these would be great topics. BTW,...
Hi Alan, Thanks for posting these and the videos! I was so busy staffing our booth that I didn't get out much. I've been at each of the four MakerFaires (in...
