Digitabulum: An introduction
2014-07-18 23:44 by Ian
It is the goal of this project to provide an affordable, general platform on which all other gloves can be emulated, and that does not require a host computer to be used as a high-level tool.
Crosspoint Audio Router with Volume Control

I've been needing this part for a long time now. So I've finally gotten around to doing the design work and making a production-worthy module.

Enough visitors to my home have taken pictures of my workbench to convince me to put pictures and descriptions of things online.
Secondary battery and isolator installation
2013-11-26 08:29 by Ian
I bought a 250A battery isolator on ebay for $70, but when the thing arrived, I realized that I had a serious problem on my hands. The thing was too long to fit in any convenient mounting location. So I had to get creative.
The front panel

The front panel is the replacement face-plate for the radio box. It is the base of the user interface for the car computer.
Locker Override and Undercarriage Lighting

As far as I can tell, this blank space next to the DC power outlets has no purpose intended by Jeep. So I defined a purpose for it.
Android --> GZip --> PHP

Sometimes, you need your android app to ship a large volume of data to a server, and bandwidth is more important than CPU. I ran up against this recently while working on a log-dump function. If the user tries to upload 5000 lines of log, it might be several megabytes of low-density data going over his line.
The top plate

The top plate in the radio box holds the bulk of the custom circuitry for the car computer. Mounted to it, we have the public address (PA) amplifier, the DC/DC for the amplifier, my hand-built filter and audio-level shifter, the main CPU board, the audio board, and a handful of regulators and MOSFETs.
The Heep

If ever there was a mass-produced vehicle that catered to the DIY crowd, the Jeep is it. This entry will serve as the root page for all the modification I've done to my 2006 Rubicon.
