Quick update from the iPod
electronics, tech March 28th, 2008Latest news from the iPod (love it by the way) while watching comedy central (Brian Posehn).
So on the electronics front that’s going well. The ADC got wires up a treat - ended up using the builtin pwm on the rabbit to drive the clk pin and used the 8 port D pins to read in a byte at once. Numbers came out - written to stdout once a second - but it’s made it pretty clear the actual integration will need to be on wire wrapped perfboard. It’s too easy to jar a wire loose and too much hassle to figure out where to stick it when that happens.
Sooooo… Ah! Also contributed a logger implementation to castle project which directs output to the system.diagnostics.tracesource. So that’s nice to have built in when the next bits hit the streets.
Going to the Dells this weekend.

I don’t know what sounds better:
> New iPod
> builtin pwm on the rabbit drive
> Going to Dells
They all sound pretty damn good to me.
