Arduino library for the MGC3130
2015-05-13 06:38 by Ian
This post will cover the theory-of-operation of a driver for Microchip's weird and wonderful MGC3130 e-field gesture sensor. I will be using Microchip's Hillstar dev kit for the MGC3130, a chipKIT Fubarino Mini, and MPIDE. But the library ought to work with any other Arduino-esque microcontroller provided it has Wire.h.
MurumLux: Overview
2015-05-12 22:20 by Ian
This is a high-level overview of MurumLux (Latin: "Wall of light"). It is a demo piece I built using Microchip's current top-of-the-line microcontroller. The chipKIT team wanted something eye-popping and fun to use for the bay area Maker Faire (May 2015). This is what I rolled for them.

If you hand-load your own ammunition, at some point you will likely experience a lodged bullet. This isn’t a big deal if you handle it correctly. What follows is my experience removing a lodged bullet from the barrel of my Dan Wesson .357.
Three-minute history of telephony
2014-11-11 12:44 by Ian
This is something I wrote for some coworkers in an effort to describe why the telephone signalling system is full of what appears to be arbitrary cruft and inconsistency. I thought it might be worth poasting.
How to properly abuse a prioirty queue
2014-10-20 21:16 by Ian
My collection of C++ classes has grown to include a priority queue template. Here is that template, and an example of how to make it do something it wasn't written to do: Calculate statistical mode.
