Been awhile
Its been awhile since i posted last… been pretty busy after an awesome weekend at home…
unfortunately its only going to get more busy this week… i have a test on friday for physics which covers a lot of material i have to go over and all as well as some homework assignments that i have to do which just needlessly take up time..
Got 2 posters hung up in my room which adds a lil more character to the room… ill take a picture and post it later on…
Well my current project that i am working on is building a 64 port controller for christmas lights… the project will be based on a series of shift registers which allows for pretty much limitless expansion of the system… the list to do:
- buy chips and connectors
- build a prototype on breadboard
- write a program to test the prototype and determine if i can write the program using c++ using linux, otherwise ill have to go to java and relearn all that
- build the rest of the circuit, build a controller box w/ DB9 connections for the SSRs
- once tested and working, build 48 SSRs (already have 16 at home)
- test SSRs
- build rack of receptacles and control box and SSRs
- final test
That is about how its going to go… i hope to have the controller box built by thanksgiving… atleast 16 ports of the controller box… i probably wont have time to build the rest of the SSRs… But i will have atleast 64 channels by christmas 2006 and maybe even more depending on time/money… the control box will control atleast 80 circuits…
ill post updates as the project continues…
