GGLABS and our good friends at plugg.ee labs will be at the Bay Area Maker Faire. Following the tradition started last year the event will be 3 days from May 20th to the 22nd. If you plan to attend the faire feel free to stop by and say hi. We will be showing some of our current projects and a few prototypes still in development.
The Minipro TL866 is very popular among hobbyist because of its low price and ease of use. Its list of supported chips is however somewhat limited compared to more expensive professional programmers. The E2R16 adapter adds support for the ROM pinout compatible EPROM of the 27C400 series which are compatible with Amiga computers and many arcade machines.
The GGLABS A521HD is a high performance RGB to YPbPr converter to directly connect an HDTV with component inputs to the A2000/A3000/A4000. The A521HD plugs into the video slot of the big box Amiga.
The GGLABS A520HD is the HDTV equivalent of the classic Commodore A520 TV modulator. Instead of encoding the Amiga video signal to a low quality composite output it converts the RGB output to a high quality YPbPr signal compatible with HDTVs with a component input. The A520HD connects to the Amiga 23-pin video port and is powered directly from the system.
Both the commodore 64 and the 128 have a software UART implementation that limits the useful speed to 2400 bauds. To work around this limitation Dr. Evil Labs and later CMD produced the SwiftLink232 and Turbo232 cartridges based on the 6551 ACIA chip. Both of these have been out of production for a very long time. GLINK232 is a modern replacement for the swiftlink232 allowing the commodore 64/128 to communicate at speeds up to 38400 bauds.
GGLABS and our good friends at FLIRC will be at the Bay Area Maker Faire. This year the event will be 3 days from May 15th to the 17th. If you plan to attend the faire feel free to stop by and say hi. We will be showing some of our current projects and a few prototypes still in development.
High power LEDs require a constant current power supply for optimal operation. GLED1 is designed to drive 10W white LEDs (9 diodes in series) from a 12V or 24V supply. The board can be used down to 3V but the maximum output power will be reduced in this case. The design supports discrete level dimming using a two or three way switch or continuous control using a PWM signal. The design is based on the ON Semiconductor NCP3065/3066.
GGLABS and our good friends at FLIRC will be sharing a booth at the East Bay Mini Maker Faire on October 19th. If you plan to attend the faire stop by our booth to check out the features and ease of use of FLIRC and other miscellaneous GGLABS projects. We will be also showing some projects still in development stage that have not been published yet.
ProtoJS is small (5x5cm) board with a minimal S08JS implementation and a standard 100mil prototyping area. While similar in features to our microJS, protoJS is more suited to permanently wire simple one off USB projects.
A new release of SDCC, the portable optimizing compiler for 8051, DS390, Z80, Z180, Rabbit 2000, HC08, STM8 and PIC microprocessors is now available. Sources, documentation and binaries compiled for x86 Linux, x86 and x64 MS Windows and x86 and PPC Mac OS X are available.
