Welcome
Welcome to my electronics web site.
Over the years I have been designing and building a number of electronic
circuits, for enjoyment and as a means to keep up to date with the ever
advancing field of electronic engineering.
In my day job I am an electronic engineer, but designing
circuits within a company has never quite been as rewarding as tinkering around
in the evenings.
The most interesting part of electronic engineering for me currently is in
embedded design. I found over the years a large part of the hardware design
became ensuring that the correct IC is used for the job and that nearly all of
the intelligence is found in firmware or software. (This is not always the
case).
My tinkering around in the evenings started with programming PIC
microcontrollers, it helped with my career as I landed a job in a small outfit
where engineers are generally involved with all aspects of product design, and
now I’m currently designing hardware and writing firmware for a variety of micro
controllers.
I currently have three projects on the go:
- uCEthernet2 - An extension and improvement to the original project. Details of
this project will be uploaded soon. Board currently at PCB house.
- Wireless Data - Small project to integrating the nRF24L01 with a micro. Will be
used in conjunction with the uCEthernet2 to keep things interesting.
- Wireless Audio - This one has been on going for a while due to a problem
interfacing the SPI EEPROM to the nRF24Z1. I can see a re spin coming soon!
Thankyou to the people that have supported the uCEthernet project, either by
buying a module or identifying bugs in the firmware. Your help is appreciated.
