RISC-V has become somewhat of a buzzword in the electronics space in the last few years. What is it? Why has it become so popular? and more importantly, how can I make cool stuff with it?

Digicams (ie. 2000s digital cameras) are making a comeback. In this entry, I explore how I’ve been navigating this new landscape of old and broken cameras, updating decades-old firmware and learning a couple of new things along the way.

Electronic speed controllers are used to drive brushless DC motors. But how is this tool applied in the real world amidst the jumble of protocols, standards and years of piling technical debt? In this post, I try and find out how.

In this journal entry I document my first steps with the Raspberry Pi Pico. I go over how I stumbled upon the Pico, get the blink sketch working, and start a new LED panel project with the Pico. I talk about a few of the key concepts behind ADCs too!

Learn how to use the Rasberry Pi Pico’s pulse width modulation blocks to produce analog-like signals for dimming LEDs, timers, and more!
