So, today I’m going to talk about the UART code I use on the atMega328p to communicate with the WiFly GSX. It is a bit more complex than the very basic tutorials out there, but I suspect it’s not up to...

The Arduino craze not yet peaked and I was not fully aware of what it was, however, I did see some value in what they were doing and couldn’t help but allow the Arduino influence my design. Basically I took...

Alright, I’ve hinted and even mentioned what all the components are in the scoreboard, but not really in much detail. To supplement my building blocks series of posts, I thought I would put together a simple diagram of how all the different building blocks are connected and with some basic stats for each.
As you can see, there is quite a bit of power distribution throughout the design. ...
