However, my needs are kinda picky and it took me many days to narrow down the 'ideal' hacking computer. This computer is for electronics hacking, and its also for business. Yeek! We got two of these, one as a personal workstation for all the web, graphics, programming, etc. And another one as the 'business' machine - for shipping, programming chips, etc. text/html 2009-09-25T18:06:36-05:00 http://www.ladyada.net/wiki/derivatives?rev=1253916396&do=diff I'm not Lady Ada, I've just co-opted a part of her wiki. I created this page because the forum isn't a great place to document work. As our various projects take shape and we are able to document them, let's add the details here so that those who follow after us have a nice tidy resource, rather than just the forum discussions. The forum is great, and a lot can be learned by following long-cold conversations, but that same knowledge can be learned from a wiki, more quickly, and kept current. text/html 2008-01-31T21:06:16-05:00 http://www.ladyada.net/wiki/inventory?rev=1201831576&do=diff Shipping supplies Kit Packaging Office supplies text/html 2009-01-22T13:04:28-05:00 http://www.ladyada.net/wiki/kitmakers?rev=1232647468&do=diff Here is a list of independent Electronic Kit makers. I try to keep this updated often but its certainly not complete. I don't consider these companies to be independent kit makers but I include them for completeness' sake * Velleman * CanaKit * Elenco * E-Kits text/html 2009-11-05T01:02:42-05:00 http://www.ladyada.net/wiki/mdcpickandplace?rev=1257400962&do=diff Hey! Its a wiki! Want to: Make electronic goods at home? Place 0201's with ease? Impress your friends? Then a pick and place may be for you! This wiki is specifically about the MDC 7722FV (7722 with Flying Vision) pick and place machine, but may have useful information for others. That being said, we give no guarantees about any information stated within. text/html 2009-10-13T13:19:41-05:00 http://www.ladyada.net/wiki/microcontroller_annoyances?rev=1255454381&do=diff I love microcontrollers but sometimes they drive me )$*(@! nuts. Here are some of the things that you can look for when you're having microcontroller problems Calculating Fuses WinAVR is great, better than AVR studio but there's no nice fuse selector like there is with AVR studio. Luckily there are two calculators text/html 2008-10-21T17:09:13-05:00 http://www.ladyada.net/wiki/osh_projects?rev=1224623353&do=diff Here is a collection of all the Open Source Hardware projects I've been able to track down In general, a project must have some electronic component and have at least firmware open. Software doesn't count, sorry! "Open source" in this case is strictly defined by the OSI Open Source License definition. Bizarre and/or restrictive licenses don't count. text/html 2007-03-05T18:56:10-05:00 http://www.ladyada.net/wiki/partsprocurement?rev=1173138970&do=diff One of the great frustrations of electrical engineering is part obsolescence, price and scarcity. In accordance with engineering law, half of what's ordered is never used and the other half's not enough. The most popular style of EE hacking that I've seen is a pack-rat approach where everyone amasses 'a few of everything', perferably for free or scavenged. Granted, IC's are relatively cheap for their functionality, ranging from $.60 for a 555 to $15 for a high-speed digital signal processor, but… text/html 2009-10-24T18:00:47-05:00 http://www.ladyada.net/wiki/start?rev=1256421647&do=diff Wiki's have come a long way and while I used to automatically reject them as a collaborative medium there seem to be some specific functions they're good at! DokuWiki is neat because: its PHP/javascript, has ACLs, has a wysiwyg editor, etc. Yay DokuWiki! text/html 2008-06-10T13:13:40-05:00 http://www.ladyada.net/wiki/winavr?rev=1213118020&do=diff WinAVR is a port of the GNU C and C++ compilers to the Microsoft Windows platform. It integrates nicely with the AVR Studio IDE from Atmel. The code generated runs on Atmel AVR microcontrollers. For more information, see the WinAVR website. There are also portable and Mac OS-X versions.
