Do you need help getting computers or technology to work for you? Or have a technology based project you want to get off the ground?

If so, we should talk.

Creating the TV-50 A Model TV Simulator

In case you didn't know - I enjoy model building - specifically model railroading.  I have a website - GizmoFoundry where I sell the things I create. I thought I would run through the process of creating a simulator. In this case - the TV-50 which uses one of the...

PIC16F15214 MCU Overview – What You Really Need to Know

The PIC16F15214 is an cost effective upgrade from the PIC10F322.  This MCU will give you two more I/O pins compared to the PIC10F322 - About 14 times the flash program space, 8x the SRAM space, and various other peripherals such as I2C, EUSART, and SPI. The...

Difference between – PIC16F15213 and PIC16F15214

So, what is the Difference between the PIC16F15213 and PIC16F15214? FLASH Program Space and SRAM Size. PIC16F15213 has 3.5K Program Flash Memory and 256 Bytes of SRAM. PIC16F15214 has 7K Program Flash Memory and 512 Bytes of SRAM. You get double the Program Space and...

PIC16F15213 MCU Overview – What You Really Need to Know

The PIC16F15213 is a 8 Pin cost effective upgrade from the PIC10F322. This MCU will give you two more I/O pins compared to the PIC10F322 - About 7 times the flash program space, 4x the SRAM space, and various other peripherals such as I2C, EUSART, and SPI. Don't...

PIC10F322 and XC8 Code – Internal Temperature Sensor – Creative Use Seed Random Number Generator

In the pervious post - we setup the PIC10F322 ADC to read the Internal Temperature Sensor. Mostly the sensor is used to monitor the die to ensure that it is operating within its limits of thermal rating. In enclosed products, the microcontroller’s internal temperature...

PIC10F322 and XC8 Code – Internal Temperature Module – How To Read

The PIC10F322 is equipped with a temperature indicator module designed to measure the  operating temperature of the silicon die. Why is it there - What is the use monitoring the die?  It is useful to monitor the temperature of the silicon die of the...

The Idiot Tube

I had an elementary school teacher that would refer to the TV as The Idiot Tube in the corner. Mind you – at this time TVs where big and did have a tube, vs the flat screens they have today. But lets think about it for a second. You invite this thing into your home...

Technology for Technology Sake

There is a fine line with technology. I grew up with computers – my dad always said a strong back will only get you so far and always encouraged me to learn as much as I could. Technology I can see what it can be used for. But like anything else – there is always a...

Crossing The Great Chasm

I have this picture in my mind of the first people heading west coming upon the Grand Canyon. Nobody has been there, nobody knew it existed. And from ground level, you don’t know it is there until you on right up on it. I think the conversation went something like…...

Tearing The Earth to Pieces

We are tearing the Earth to pieces. We are spewing out toxins, poisoning our waters and the entire planet is reacting. We are at war with each other. Killing – why? Perhaps we need to stop looking at the governments and corporations to save us. It is time we save...

The First Barrier

The First Barrier – This was an image I received while in Salt Lake City, Utah – in 2005. This image, reminds me of how we set out to do something. Maybe the path is paved for a bit things are easy, then we hit gravel, and before long the road ends and there is a...

We Are A Lot More

We Are A Lot More than…. What we can put down in writing in our about section, profile, posting to facebook. What is in our wallets, the car we drive, the clothes we wear, the jobs we do. There are beautiful things in us, that we can’t even began to describe, or have...

The Most Powerful Thing You Can Do

What is The Most Powerful Thing You Can Do? “The most powerful thing you can do to change the world is to change your own beliefs about the nature of life, people, and reality to something more positive … and begin to act accordingly.” – SHAKTI GAWAIN

There Are No Shortcuts and Hacks

I am sure you have heard it… in 3 to 10 easy steps.. Just 5 minutes a day.. You too can have… I don’t want to burst your bubble… but there are no shortcuts.. There are no hacks. These things are made up by people who want to sell you something. Beware of ugly...

Seeing People On The Soul Level

My last post was thinking about awaken vs woke (All These Labels). On that note, my wife received an email from a yoga studio in our previous area. They are in the process of raising money to move from an owner based model to a community owned model. I get that – that...

Buckets With Labels

We spend way too much time trying to put things in nice neat little buckets, with labels. Perhaps if we spent less time thinking and more time doing; more time exploring it will lead to greater discoveries about ourselves.
