A big improvement of dsPIC33e series micro-controller from its predecessors is the re-mappable peripheral IO. This allows great flexibility for circuit board design, but also requires slightly more efforts to use…
First of all, let’s take a look at the video clip below (link) to find out how it is possible to reflow solder components without stencils. [youtube=”http://youtu.be/AXBflP_4fdQ”] I talked about DIY…
First of all, let’s check out how easy and sweet it is to remove the supportive raft from your 3D print. All you need to do is just to follow…
First of all, let’s see the video of the heated print bed in action! This table is built for Type A Machine 3D printer, but it should works for all…
My reflow oven in action! Although I can skillfully solder as small as 0.5mm pitch QFN package chip by hand (post, video), more and more space saving components appearing on the…
If you have read my “Designing bootloader for Microchip dsPIC33E/PIC24E micro-controller(2)” of this series, you should be able to extract all the necessary information from the hex file compiled by…
I sent out a new circuit board design to a PCB fab house last week, but was put on hold multiple times for the reason of “insufficient copper to copper…
If you want to customize your own remote controller for Panasonic HD video camera HC-X900M, or build it into your own system to control multiple camcorders just like my old…
In my last post “Designing bootloader for Microchip dsPIC33E/PIC24E micro-controller (1)“, I talked about some basics of bootloader and picked up one of the architectures as my solution, which is…
When speaking about good bootloader product for Microchip’s various MCU product series, I put my two cents in “ds30 Loader” from Mikael Gustafsson. However, “ds30 Loader” is no longer available…
