On May 12th you celebrated Arduino Day, the Worldwide Celebration of Arduino's Birthday!

On April 14th you celebrated the first birthday of Project14!

On May 4th you celebrated Star Wars Day by agreeing that many of the truths we cling to depend on our own point of view!

On May 25th of this year you celebrated the anniversary of the release of the original Star Wars movie and the release of the Solo movie with a winners announcement!

This program is dedicated to the community members.

A highlight of the first year was the DIY Test Equipment competition and it was off to a bang with Cyclops-1000: An Electronic Eye for Rotational Speed Measurement by shabaz. shabaz 's project gave the program a shot in the arm at a time of great uncertainty.

It was also during DIY Test Equipment that Jan Cumps introduced the Project14 audience to the Programmable Electronic Load project that he, jc2048 , and Robert Peter Oakes were working on:

USB Programmable (electronic DC load) Test Equipment

and it inspired ipv1 to do his own diy programmable DC Load test equipment project:

Project14's DIY Test Equipment: DIY Constant Current Load

The Open Arduino brought back fond memories of the DIY Test Equipment when Jan Cumps revisited Programmable Electronic Load by making The Birthday Special a part of the history of the prototype that he is working with along with jc2048 and peteroakes .

To extend the capabilities of his lab this member is creating repeatable and automated test setups. The goal is to control the lab instruments and have all measurements logged to a document. The PSU and scope are programmable, a programmable DC load has been designed, what’s missing is a programmable switch that can be used to turn signals on or off:

Using SCIP library introduced by jancumps , jc2048 worked on a resistor to resistor network. R-2R sounds like it could be a robot from the Star Wars Universe, but in electronics it's the name of a resistor network that can be used to make a DAC (digital-to-analog converter):

Part 1: Arduino: R-2R Experiment
Part 2: Arduino: R-2R: Sine On You Crazy Diamond
Part 3: Arduino: R-2R: Buffer, Attenuate, and Filter
Part 4: Arduino: R-2R: "We Interrupt This Programme..."
Part 5: Arduino: R-2R: "Resistance is..."?
Part 6: Arduino: R-2R; "A Sweep is as Lucky, as Lucky Can Be..."
Part 7: Arduino: R-2R: Setting the Signal Amplitude

The work done on the resistor to resistor network became the basis of jc2048 Project14 and Arduino Birthday Present:

A Simple Arduino Music Box

He used it to play the theme song of a certain popular scifi movie that has become a reoccurring theme of the Project14 program:
