A (very) long overdue update…

Life has this tendency to get in the way sometimes. I’ve not abandoned this project, just that the available time to work on it hasn’t always been available.

I’ve made quite a bit of progress on building a clone of the DMXter user interface in C, running on an Atmel ATmega2560 AVR processor with a 2 line by 16 character LCD display and some pushbuttons. Development has been done using the avr-gcc tool chain. I have one last block of code that I want to implement before putting this out into the world, along with some clean up and more coherent comments in a few places. I will put this code up on Github when ready for release.

I also have a few other projects that I want to post about. There are a lot of very cool LED type devices to play with, two that I’m playing with are the ubiquitous WS2812 series of RGB LEDs with built in drivers and the other being an amazing 40 watt RGBA or RGBW LED. I’ll post more very soon about these. And maybe some FPGA stuff as well.
