		<title>Joining the Arduino collective</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Keeping tabs on the &#8216;maker&#8217; community, Arduino as a development platform is certainly very popular.

I initially dismissed it when I first started learning about microcontrollers as I was learning on the Atmel ATmega8, which the Arduinos of the time were based around, and figured that I wanted to learn at a &#8216;pure&#8217; level and not [...]]]></description>

		<title>Motorola StarTAC SED1530 LCD driver IC</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A long time ago, when I discovered the 4D Systems line of OLED serial-controlled displays I was very impressed &#8211; an awesome screen with an easy to understand interface was just what I wanted to play with.

Now that I&#8217;ve had one for a while &#8211; the uOLED-160-GMD1 &#8211; I find that I&#8217;m stuck in a [...]]]></description>

		<title>ATmega8 talking to uOLED-160-GMD1</title>
		<description><![CDATA[With renewed enthusiasm I have progressed on the coding of my RetroTAC project.
Today&#8217;s result: my little Atmel ATmega8 is telling the 4D Systems uOLED-160-GMD1 where to go! Or rather, what to say.


Using the ATmega&#8217;s USART hardware serial port, controlled in software by some USART routines written by Mihai Galos, I wrote a subroutine based on [...]]]></description>

		<title>New forum, website updates</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have made some updates to the website &#8211; the Wordpress theme and header logo primarily &#8211; including those nifty little navigation buttons now say what I want them to say.
I&#8217;ve also made a forum to foster discussion about my projects and whatever anyone who joins wants to talk about! Running on phpBB3, check it [...]]]></description>

		<title>uOLED progress</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Months ago I purchased 4D Systems&#8217; 1.7&#8243; uOLED from Sparkfun. As you can see it&#8217;s an amazing little piece of hardware.

The resolution is 160&#215;128, 65K or 262K colours, and the interface is serial RS-232 making it easily wirable to a microcontroller or pretty much anything that can send serial commands.

I struggled to get it to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Telit website, datasheet updates</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Telit are the makers of a series of &#8220;m2m&#8221; (machine to machine) cell network interface modules. That is, little all-in-one modules that you can put in your own electronics project to give you cellphone capabilities. Thus there&#8217;s one in my plan for the RetroTAC.

Telit GE863
Telit have recently updated their website and it is a LOT [...]]]></description>

		<title>RetroTAC</title>
		<description><![CDATA[RetroTAC Cellular Phone
This project is all about replacing the guts of a classic 1990&#8217;s cell phone, the Motorola StarTAC, so that it works on modern GSM networks and can be used day-to-day.

It is based around the Telit module GE863 which supports quad band GSM, serial interfacing and even has a SiRFIII GPS chip inside. It [...]]]></description>

		<title>Again with the website</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well it&#8217;s back &#8211; I reinstalled the Wordpress blog after seeing this lovely Mac-like theme for it and I&#8217;m going to give it my best shot at using this site to publish whatever it is I publish.

Electronics. It&#8217;s what I&#8217;m into these days and I think it&#8217;s a hobby that&#8217;ll stick. So I&#8217;m going to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Home Movies with a bit of Nerdism for good measure</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As a treat, instead of still pictures this month you get motion pictures!
I made this movie with my brother and our friends in 2002. It is plot-thin, and was primarily made for fun, and to test my skills at video editing and post-production special effects. I cringe at several things when I watch it, but [...]]]></description>
