Aaaaaarrrrggghhhh
Well... The database got trashed and the site is mostly lost. I was stupid and didn't have proper backups. And the worst part of it is that I think I did it to myself by accident, futzing around with something.
Oh well, stuff happens... I'm starting to rebuild it today. We'll see how it goes...
MPR121 Board
I designed a keypad board for the Freescale MPR121 Capacitive Touch Sensor Controller chip and received it in my latest batch of boards from dorkbotpdx.org. I'm really happy with this one. The MPR121 is really easy to use and, though it has tons of internal adjustments and controls to suit almost any sensing job, works perfectly with all default settings for my little board.
SIRC With the LPC-P2148
To decode Sony SIRC codes output by my Harmony 880 remote control, I connected a Panasonic PNA4602M infrared sensor to P0.4 (CAP0.1). It's a 38kHz type sensor, so it works great with standard remote controls. Rather than work blind, I connected a 16x2 character LCD in 4-bit mode with busy flag checking to display the codes.
2-Wire LCD Board w/DS3234 RTC
I got tired of building the Myke Predko 2-Wire LCD circuit over and over and/or having one breadboard always used up so I'd have one handy. So I designed a PC board with the circuit on it. And, since I had tons of extra space under the LCD I added a Maxim DS3234 RTC and a battery holder under there.
