Bananaphone: A Touch Capacitance Synth - Vimperator
Turn your Quickstart and Eight Bananas into a Synth! I was recently inspired by a Kickstart project which used Bananas as sensors to control a video game on a PC. I've done some video game controls using the Propeller in the past, but I thought this would make an interesting synthesizer project. Make a connection from each of the Propeller's P0-P7 I/O pins to the stem of each banana using the aligator clip jumper wires.

Having heard that Atmel actually produced three variants of the AT90SC3232 device, we did some digging and found some of this previously never-seen-by-Flylogic AT90SC3232CS. We had already several AT90SC3232 and AT90SC3232C. We assumed that the CS was just a 3232C with an extra IO pad. Well, one should never ass-u-me anything!

I went along to PYCON UK 2011 this weekend. I went for a few reasons. One was for a talk about BBC.Codelab. I also wanted to speak to encourage people to get involved in teaching children (and adults) to program. Finally I needed to find out if there are any Python UK members who might help me understand what Python on the STM32F ARM chip might be. The talk about BBC.Codelab by Alan O’Donohoe, a secondary school head of ICT.Liquidware : Open Source Electronics - Vimperator
With over 1.5 billion Dhrystone operations per second and vector floating point arithmetic operations the BeagleBoard C5 is a low-cost, high-expansion hardware-hacker focused single-board computer. $125. Rapid custom solutions Liquidware’s engineering expertise makes for rapid technology solutions. With access to the latest technology, we can quickly create custom solutions with ‘wow’ and deliver them as final products.
Bigger scale microcontrollers like STM32F103ZET6 are stuffed with lots of features that enable to run complex project. Practically it is advised to stick with some RTOS to keep project modular and maintainable. FreeRTOS doesn’t take much of processor resources but benefit a lot like allows parallelize functions/tasks with ease. Scienceprog takes us through process of building simple applications by using FreeRTOS on STM32 microcontroller. Each task here is programmed individually without worries how it will be run, because while writing each it is supposed that all processor resources are available. And this is so because each task is managed by scheduler which takes care of business.

Rickard's electronic projects page - How to generate composite video signals in software using PIC. - Vimperator
During the Christmas holidays 1997-1998, I started on a small project, trying to generate a video signal with a PIC16C84. I had seen some video clock generating video signals in software, and thought it was a quite interesting idea, and wanted to take it a step further. I didn't know much about video signals back then, I basically just had seen how a single scan-line works.
