• My introduction to microprocessors.

• General purpose infra red controlled battery powered portable unit.

• My first project which is now an EPROM programmer.

• A midi mixer.

• A programmer for the MC68HC705C8A and gnu/linux with complete source code.

• Current projects
  • Writing an MC68HC908 programmer for gnu/linux and FreeBSD.
    • Currently it works and supports all 0.1 inch feedthrough types.
  • A thermostatically controlled "Bread Proofing Box" using a DS1620 temperature chip, a Microchip PIC and a 180 Watt hair styler.
    • This is working but I used an MC68HC705KJ instead of the PIC.
    • Future enhancement will use a Peltier device so that it can retard too.
  • PC keyboard morse generator using a PIC16F628 connected to the clock and data lines of a standard PC keyboard.
    • This design uses very few components, the PIC a decoupling capacitor and key-click filter.
    • The keyboard LEDs are used as indicators.
    • Now working on a 908QT version.
