Here is the latest update on my work on the brainwaves appliance controller. Last update I showed how I designed a new prototype board, which probably will be the last prototype until I design the final product. In the meantime the board...
Last update I discussed the problems I ran into when I combined the infrared remote control code learner with the brainwave appliance controller. As a refresher, previously I built a brainwaves appliance controller in a PSoC5LP chip part ...
This is update number nine of my brainwaves appliance controller project. To summarize this work, first I want to mention that I started this project as part of Element14’s PSoC4 Smarter Life Challenge. After the challenge ended I continu...
This is the fourth blog update after I started to build the infrared remote control code learner in a Cypress PSoC5LP chip. I am happy to see it working now. It was a quite difficult job, much harder than I expected. In my previous ...
This is the third blog update after I started to build the infrared remote control code learner (here are links to the previous posts: 1, 2, 3 ) . I thought it would go faster, but it turned out to be a quite difficult task, which I am s...
In my previous two blog posts I showed how I started to build a “code learner" for infrared remote controls in a PSoC5LP chip. This code learner captures the infrared signal from a remote control, decodes the signal, and compresses it in a form...
In my previous blog post I showed how I started to build a “code learner" for infrared remote controls that I would then implement in my brainwaves appliance controller project. This way users can “teach” the brainwaves appliance controll...
This is an update to the Henrietta Project, which was a design entry in the Smarter Life Design Challenge sponsored by Cypress Semiconductor and Element 14. The Henrietta Project was a smart thermostat with a variety of interfaces and features intend...
I thought building a “code learner" for infrared remote controls is an easy job; well, it is not. I started by constructing a code learner function in my brainwave appliance controller project that I built using the PSoC5LP as I described...
Henrietta's Daughter BackgroundCypress Semiconductor expressed interest in converting the Smarter Life Challenge projects to use the new PSoC4 Prototyping Kit to showcase the rich capabilities of this much lower cost module. The Henrietta Projec...
Good day comrades!As you probably know today is a playday in Russia. So I can try to fly Me and Vassili left the city and went to the country. And today we have not forgot a good camera and the tricopter! Today is +25C and Russian nature looks a...
I have found a way to solve the technical issues described in my previous blog and now my brainwaves appliance controller implemented in PSoC5LP works. To get around the noise problem I implemented the front-end amplifier using a IN...
This is a quick report on the Embedded World Conference where the award for the Smarter Life Design Challenge was presented at the Cypress Semiconductor booth and attended by element14, who had a booth in another hall.There were about 900 exhibitors ...
After Smarter Life Challenge ended I took a break and now I’m back working on my Brainwave Appliance Controller. My plan is first to try to implement the project into a PSoC5LP chip and then to expand the project by adding two more electrodes o...
Android keyboard emulation on my hardware players.brightcove.net/.../index.html This is quite good learning process. I mean, it is simple, but at the same time it is quite complex. Like i can't use coma more than one time, and if i dele...
2 days work on exterior and today i can say, it turns out better than i expected . Now only UI programming is left, RTC, PID,PWM are working and i can do reflow soldering even today, but i need to make clean UI.Still don't know how can this project b...
Thanks a lot Linas, for your interest. I have got my internet recharge an hour back and writing a reply. I have attached a zipped file of the project here. I wanted to check the project by programming the kit. But I kept the kit in my college. On Mon...
Now, I am writing the final update though I really do not want to write it at this stage. But somehow I have to do it by tonight. My internet service pack will be over by 12 midnight and I have to recharge. I may not have the facility tomorrow.Object...
First and foremost, many congratulations to all our finalists; their progress on their projects has been thrilling, inspiring and also enjoyable.Sadly, all good things must come to an end, and the Smarter Life challenge has concluded. Cypress' ...
Subject: PID is working!! I am very happy to tell you that PID is working. But lots of loose contacts. I put the discrete components on bread-board. I could not get the right kind of bread-board wire. What I have got is multi-strand wire n...
