Cable Work / Bench setup

Sunday, October 29th, 2006

Using BLD and BLS sockets with bulk ribbin cable I created a bunch of header connecting wires.

Created 2 custom cables for the LCD display using 8 wires to controller.  Was able to control the LCD with both the OOPic and BasicStamp 2.

Upgraded the power supply (120mm fan)  on both PCs, however the server is to loud with the case fans running.  Also installed a 4ft wall mount power strip.

Picked up an electronic label maker for $3 at Frys (after rebate).

Blog Site Objectives

Wednesday, October 4th, 2006

Create some kind of online PIM for my hobby robots and other electronics work. Some questions to answer are:

1 - will this be quick and easy for documenting code?

2 - can I get electronic diagrams up easy?

3- does this spell check?

4 - will any information in here be useful to others?

5 - create custom theme for this WP blog
Since I work on various computers with multiple OSs this platform for taking notes maybe the best option.
