The PCB design for fireCrow v2.0 is finished, I'm just going to double check everything twice or more 😉
There also is a 4 channel plug-in card design finished.
The design is especially made after Lennart's, who's working with special effects at the Gothenburg Opera House, desires and needs.
By the way, I'm very happy to have such a great opportunity to work this close to a possible customer!
It's been a very inspiring weekend indeed!
Today, thanks to the lightning talk, some different peoples came up to me and asked about how and where I made my PCB's, and about wireless applications for home automation and what transceiver to use.
I take that as a sign of success and a great pay off for my first public presentation, that by the way was a close to death experience but I would definitely do it again!
Today I did my lightning talk. It was one of the scariest things I ever done, but I think I did quite well!
I said some stuff twice but I managed to get the crowed to laugh and I think I got through to them -
That you can do anything you want if you are persistent enough! 🙂
Today FSCONS (Free Society Conference Nordic Summit) started here in Gothenburg.
Maybe I'll do a Lightning talk tomorrow on Saturday about the fireCrow platform
OverviewThe fireCrow is an Arduino inspired microcontroller board based on the ATtiny4313 with a modified Arduino-Tiny core. The fireCrow runs at 3.3V and 9.216MHz, it has 12 digital input/output pins (of which 3 can be used as PWM outputs), a 2-pole DIP-switch to turn on battery power and (ARM) external power, a pin out socket with included power and serial TX/RX pins, and an ISP socket. It has connections for a Lithium Polymer battery. A XBee, or compatible Bee series, socket is also available on the board.
Här kommer en annan video som jag varit med och gjort pyro i.
Det var lite trial and error under den inspelningen, men nu vet jag vilket vattendjup som är bra och att man måste ha en Continue reading
Här är några stillbilder från mitt första betalda jobb som pyrotekniker!
Tyvärr så är videon nedtagen från nätet, ska se om jag kan fixa upp bara den delen där det skjuts i framöver.
Jag hade lite problem att få tag på squibs då jag kom in i projektet typ den enda tiden på året som Smålands Krutbruk var stängt och tydligen alla andra, som kunde tänkas ha, hade inga hemma! Continue reading
