description PCB design and firmware programming for the Logos Foundation. I have worked during the past years on upgrading all existing music automata from being controlled by several dedicated laptops via their (legacy) printer port to embedded microcontrollers listening to 'normal' MIDI. In close cooperation with Godfried-Willem Raes of course. And all new machines are designed with microcontrollers from start. The latest innovation is using dsPICs for tone generation.

The dsPICSynth is a set of assembly routines for Microchip dsPIC for PCM audio synthesis. dsPIC is amongst the least advanced chips that is capable of sound synthesis. I mean real sound synthesis, not sample playback or bit-bang squarewave generation.

2007-09-09T00:00:00+02:00

The dustbunnies is a project by Boutique Vizique , in which I contributed the electronics design and the firmware. In this project I use a dsPIC (20MIPS, 16bit DSP) for audio synthesis in a special way: the speaker is not driven by a usual audio amplifier, no digital-to-analog converter chip is used, but I selected a motor-control-oriented dsPIC (dsPIC30F2010), and use a H-bridge to drive the speaker directly. …

description i_robot is a Virtual Reality installation that gives you the experience of being a robot. The visitor is immersed via a head-mount display in live video images, coming from a camera on the robot. As the robot copies the movements of the headset, your body is its remote control. Your turn to the left causes the robot also to turn left, so your see left from the robot's perspective.

USBPicStamp differs from Arduino a lot: * It is a doughterboard, not a motherboard * Uses a Microchip PICMicro with USB on-board, not an Atmel AVR plus FTDI USB-UART chip * I'm using it with the standard Microchip tools (MPlab, MCC18, ICD2), no open-source toolchain * No stripped-down IDE
