I'm beginning to feel particularly silly, because yet another DIY electronics hobby project has failed to perform as expected... Last year, I worked on an Atmospherics Monitor project. This is a circuit that can detect electrical activity in the atmosphere from thousands of miles away and pre...

How it used to be: Watching test card on TV
Posted:09/02/2012,06:53:53 PM by Clive Maxfield
Nowadays we're inundated with hundreds of television channels. I would say that we are spoilt for choice if it wasn't for the fact that so much of what is presented is such utter dross (but that's a discussion for another time). By comparison, when I was a young lad around six years o...

My favorite quirky chips (Part 2)

[Continued from My favorite quirky chips (Part 1)] The first bit of strangeness was the package, an enormous 50-pin DIP (old-timers will remember the first 68000, which was in an equally-huge 64-pin DIP). That allowed for separate instruction and data buses, and some claim that this was the first...

In some of my previous blogs, I outlined the history of the microprocessor. Two of the important developments were the Williams tube and the Whirlwind computer. Although the Whirlwind originally did use Williams tubes, it became the first machine with core memory. After those articles appeared, I v...

I now have my own robotic ball (and I'm not afraid to use it)!
Posted:31/01/2012,07:48:26 PM by Clive Maxfield
Have you seen my recent column "Robotic balls caught my eye!"? Well, I now have one of my very own ("...my precious, my precious...") And how did this come to be? Well, soon after I had posted my original column I received an email from Tim Davis, who is the president of ASPEN LOGIC. From their w...

There is so much amazingly cool "stuff" to see and do that I'm amazed I find the time to get any real work done. In Max's Cool Beans, I waffle on about books, projects, and the weird and wonderful websites I blunder across.
