Nintendo Wii Nunchuk for Input PCBA Devices

Nintendo Wii Nunchuk for Input PCBA Devices

The Nintendo Wii Nunchuk was released in December 2006. It features an analog stick, two buttons, and a 3-axis accelerometer. Due to its low price (around $5 for a used or counterfeit Nunchuk) and I2C bus support, it became an easily accessible option for those looking to add an input device to their project without much hassle. Without further […]

Ghetto Development Environment

Ghetto Development Environment

A while back, I posted up a quick and dirty “el cheapo” method of getting started programming the Atmel AVR series chips: Ghetto Programmer (version 1.0) Since then, I’ve vamped, re-vamped, and otherwise improved my setup. Thought it’d be nice to document it. The goal was to get a flexible, compact, portable, use-anywhere, AVR-based microcontroller prototyping

IoT Device for Serial to Ethernet by Using TCP

IoT Device for Serial to Ethernet by Using TCP

I know WIZ550S2E solution for monitoring. Recently WIZwiki-W7500ECO platform was announced by WIZnet. So I implemented a firmware of WIZwiki-W7500ECO by WIZ550S2E SW modification because I can handle a source code easily. You can know the status of equipment even if it is so far. Please refer to the following step. Step 1: Prepare Materials
