Numbers Game | A simple numbers game to find the an equation to produce a desired result. |
Nonogram Solver | I was doing some Nonograms, and thought writing a Nonogram Solver would be more fun. |
Desk Calendar | Free Standing Desk Calendar. |
Etching Machine | CNC PCB Etching Machine (draft design in POV-RAY only so far). |
Music Toy | A Musical toy for my daughter - basically a framework for making toys that can play music or speech in response to buttons and so on. Prototype AVR with DAC and speaker working, but I need more flash to play longer music, so I want to build a PCB, hence the Etching Machine project. |
Sungroper | We built and are developing a solar car to compete in the World Solar Challenge. We raced the car in November 2001, and covered 2300km under our solar power. |
Model Yacht | Nikola & I are building two model yachts (very slowly!). |
Electronics | Electronics projects I've been involved with. |
Woodworking | Woodworking projects I've been involved with. |
PVR | Personal Video Players - A device with harddisk, ethernet, IR remote,
CD/DVD drive, 2 x TV tuner, TV output, and radio tuner that can play DVDs (region free),
Play TV, record TV to harddisk, pause live TV, play video from harddisk, play CD (audio & MP3),
Record CD (audio & MP3), play audio from harddisk, jukebox functionality,
web based interface for operating/programming, IR based interface for operating/programming. Sean Cleary adds that he wants: 2 x HD digital receivers, picture in picture, 2 x outputs to watch live and recorded on two TVs, interoperate with firewire and USB Digital Video camcorders and Still cameras, 5.1 audio out (and more). |
Marquetry | My dad has done some marquetry, and I'd like to do one one day. |
Steam Engine | Steam Engine. |
Electric Engine | Electric Engine. |
Candle Driven Toy | A candle driven windmill or other sort of toy. |
Train Set | I have a fair amount of HO train gear, but it is all packed away - one day that will have to change. |
Water Feature | Water wheel, loch, waterfall? |
Wooden Toys | Wooden Toys. |
Electric Model Glider | I have flown petrol powered model planes and also model gliders, I'd like something in between (easier to launch than a glider, but less messy than a petrol powered model plane). |
Robot | I have been involved with various robotic projects (with fairly minimal success generally) and will hopefully build another one in the future. |
Candy Dispenser | Candy Dispenser. |
Coin Collector | Coin Collector box. |
Model Plane | I've built and flown various model planes (petrol powered and gliders). |
Computers | I've designed and built various computers based on Z80 and NS 32000 processors. Usually these days I just use Atmel AVR microcontrollers. |
ARMODA | My Comp Sci honours project was the design and implementation of an optimizing compiler for a launguage we designed which was loosely based on Modula II and Ada. |
