Been to a seminar on the new Windows Phone 7. Looks very nice. Downloaded Microsoft Windows Phone Developer Tools to get Silverlight, XNA Games Studio, Visual Studio 2010 Express, Windows Phone Developer resources etc. etc. And started developing. Have to download Blend yet. A real phone will be out around Xmas… Can’t wait…
This is great. A Solar Energy Harvester Evaluation Kit. With a EnerChip CBC5300. From www.cymbet.com Have to do some testing with other sources of energy like Peltier and small dc-motors as a generator. But the kit is running right out of the box. Will connect this module to an AVR. Kits comes with a CD with datasheets of a whole bunch of modules.
Extra set of hands you never knew existed…
Graphic Display with SED1520 controller, Bascom-AVR compatible, for only 1 euro. 122 x 32 pixels in two rows. Used in MP3-players. New. Check www.vandijkenelektronica.nl
There is a backlight EL-folie also for 1 euro and a powerconverter.
Will add the Bascom-AVR code to this topic later on.
There is a nice RFM12 calculator from www.technofun.org With it you get a real good idea what is going on with the RFM12 while initializing it.
Made a test with the RFM12PB, works great. First we have made a connection between two Kamami ZL15AVR boards. Sending three synchronisation bytes AA, a ‘magic’ word, and a string of characters. It is received by the other board without any problems. 434 Mhz, 134 Khz bandwidth. Without the power amplifier at this moment, we will test for distance later on. Code written in Bascom-AVR and we have to rewrite it for Bascom-8051, which has no function-command, to have it work on the other board, the iMCU7100EVB with the W7100 on it.
Central Board in it’s case with two Field-devices on their DIN-rails.
Got a mail from Igor Funa. He has written a free Turbo51 Pascal compiler for the 8051. Looks very good. It can be found at http://turbo51.com
