LEAP#269 Boldport Cordwood

The Cordwood Puzzle evokes an era of stuffing massive components into small spaces! Chunky LEDs and massive 2W resistors result in a final build that has a really nice heft to it. As always, all notes, schematics and code are in the Little Electronics & Arduino Projects repo on GitHub hero_image

LEAP#268 ChainBlocks

My neighbour is developing a prototyping system called Chain Blocks by PrexLab, and passed me some to try out. Since I’ve got digital pots on the brain at the moment .. time for yet more doodling on an oscilloscope! So I made an “X-Y Plotter Chain Block”.

LEAP#267 Cuttle Scope Graffiti

Blinking an LED is a pretty mundane test for the beautiful BoldportClub Cuttle. For something more interesting (if not useful!) I decided to get it to write its name on a digital oscilloscope. The X-Y scope inputs are controlled with an MCP42010 digital potentiometer. As always, all notes, schematics and code are in the Little Electronics & Arduino Projects repo on GitHub hero_image

LEAP#266 The BoldportClub Cuttle

The Cuttle is a bare-bones Arduino-compatible kit from The Boldport Club. But not just any clone .. this must be the best looking board I have! I now have three of them for prototyping with style;-) As always, all notes, schematics and code are in the Little Electronics & Arduino Projects repo on GitHub hero_image
