		<title>StarTAC SED1530 LCD and Keypad hardware, Telit GC864 cellular</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Finally an update! Gotta slip one in before the end of June, so it&#8217;s not been a year between posts. Lots has happened since I last posted including a burglary at our rented town house which triggered us to look for another place to live. We ended up buying a house (!) and moving. Finally [...]]]></description>

		<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 [...]]]></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 [...]]]></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 [...]]]></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 [...]]]></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 [...]]]></description>

		<title>RetroTAC</title>
		<description><![CDATA[RetroTAC Cellular Phone This project is all about replacing the guts of a classic 1990&#8242;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 [...]]]></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 [...]]]></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, [...]]]></description>
