bluehash 1,581 Posted November 12, 2013 Author Share Posted November 12, 2013 Updated banner. I have to add a few more sponsors - CircuitCo, Elecrow and TotalPhase. All we need are projects. Thanks! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
t0mpr1c3 91 Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 This sounds like a good excuse to get my wireless thermostat project off the ground using those NFR24L01+ backpacks! It's been months since I got them, but now I actually need the heating on. shluzzzoid 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FredrikNyman 3 Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 My project: a small low-cost, battery-powered wireless sensor board based on the MSP430G value series MCUs and the new CC1200 radios. The radio part is based on TI's CC1200 reference design, the MCU part is based on the launchpad: LED and button on the pins you expect; all MCU pins will be easily accessible via pin headers. Working on the schematics/PCB right now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

JWoodrell 285 Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 I'm going to throw my project on here. It is a SD card based audible alarm player. *now with sound quality* the user provides a 24v signal on one of two input wires, and the unit takes that 24v power and uses it to power up the MSP430 and amplifier. It reads the file linked to that input signal and plays it out the speaker. I did a couple of tricks to improve sound quality. right now it is working best with 8kHz 8 bit wav files, but it adapts to other sample rates on the fly. right now it doesn't understand how to read 16 bit files, but this is just the first draft, and that is in the planning. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wJ-gWZK3wAQ bluehash, Rickta59 and shluzzzoid 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

petertux 40 Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 I made a charge controller that transforms solar shininess into gadget juice. details here: http://forum.43oh.com/topic/4611-overengineered-12v-lead-battery-recharger/ why is it over-engineered you ask? because all that schematic can be reduced to one single component. but what is the fun in that? bluehash 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

igendel 27 Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 I might have a project too. It started Arduino-based but won't be too hard to convert. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
