Hardware PWM PIC/AVR
PWM is one of those things that we’ve always done in software. It allows us to set the frequency and duty cycle easily but at a cost of cpu cycles. In fact, until recently we didn’t actually know what frequency and duty cycle meant and because our PWM … Continue reading
Awesome Farnell

POKEY sound chip experiments
The Atari POKEY was the classic soundchip in the Atari 8-bit home computers and many 1980′s arcade games. This clip shows some of my experiments in driving a POKEY from MIDI. A PIC receives MIDI data and two 74HC595 shift registers are used to assemble… Continue reading

Hand-cranked MIDI sequencer from a baked bean can
One empty baked bean tin, some lego and a stack of little magnets… stick magnets on the tin and slide them about to ‘program’ the sequencer, then grab hold of the ‘transport control’ and crank away…. The breadboard contains 5 hall-effect switches a… Continue reading
