Want to slow down your chipKIT Pi just for fun? Simulate an 8-bit MPU with this "kewl" project that implements a 6502 instruction set simulator on a chipKIT Pi development board. The project was inspired by fond memories of the Commodore Plus/4 and C16 home computers (circa 1984). The simulation includes TEDMON (the machine code monitor) as well as the EhBASIC interpreter. Kudos to Darron M. Broad for creating this cool project!

Hello,

I have modified the VirtualWire library originally developed for Arduino in order to be able to run it on PIC32 Microcontrollers. The main changes concern the interruption setup and handling (OC1 and Timer 2).

VirtualWire is a library that provides features to send short messages without addressing, retransmit, or acknowledgment, a bit like UDP over wireless, using ASK (amplitude shift keying). It supports a number of inexpensive radio transmitters and receivers. All that is required is transmit data, receive data, and (for transmitters, optionally) a PTT transmitter enable.

In addition, I have added 2 functions in the

A talented group of hackers thrilled participants of the Hardware Weekend hack-a-thon with their mods to a classic DeLorean DMC-12. Sponsor hackster.io provided the car in honor of the Hack to the Future themed event, which was hosted by Local Motors in Chandler. Special effects installed by the team included cool blue LED lighting throughout the car, and dual alcohol burners with electronic ignition. The complex lighting, fuel pump and ignition systems were controlled by a chipKIT

Can you do it? Yes you can! James at Digilent has put together a post to show how you can run five or more servos on chipKIT uC32 quite easily, as long as you follow some guidelines. The chipKIT Servo library makes the coding easy, so all you may have to worry about is the power consumption. Read on to find out more! :)
