So as you may have noticed, I have not updated this project for a while (and my code is far from complete or full featured). As a quarterfinalist in the Hackaday Prize, I was working hard on it to try and make it to the semi-finals, but I didn't. I still want to finish this project at some point, but it is not my top priority at the moment. I mainly worked on it during the summer, but now I have school, so I have less time for my electronics projects, and whatever time I get for electronics I am usually working on my more recent or self-educational projects. If you want to see my other awesome embedded systems, electronics, Microcontrollers, and computer projects, just check them out through my profile, or here .

Some of my continuing projects:

using_8085_processor_for_something : Project to try to figure out and do something with an Intel P8085 processor that I salvaged. Building a minimal 8-bit computer.

chibios-tinkering : tinkering around with ChibiOS/RT mostly on STM32

lpc800_adventures : Adventures learning and messing with NXP's LPC800 Series ARM Cortex-M0+ Microcontrollers using open-source tools.

Moppy_AVR : Port of SammyIAm's Moppy (Musical Floppy) Arduino code to AVR C for select AVR MCUs. Will be compatible with the Moppy Java client.

sound_chip_AVR : Using fast PWM capabilities of some AVR MCUs to make sounds using DDS.

Mostly finished/stagnant projects:

GameOfLife_ht1632c_display_AVR : displaying Conway's Game of Life on a ht1632c-based 32x8 LED matrix using an AVR ATtiny26 mcu

And some projects that I haven't yet built or prototyped any hardware for yet, but am brainstorming/planning:

GPS_device-logger_STM32 : Making a simple(ish) GPS device and logger using an STM32 MCU and Delorme gps2058 module.

MY_SONIC_SCREWDRIVER : Making my own custom Sonic Screwdriver device, similar to the tool used by The Doctor.
