Free Stuff - January 2024

The January 2024 recipient for the Great Scott Gadgets Free Stuff Program is Marc, the author of PySDR.org. Marc is interested in learning more about HackRF One and potentially adding a chapter on HackRF One to the PySDR.org documentation. We look forward to working with Marc on this update to PySDR.org and helping even more folks with finding new ways to interact with their HackRF One.

BML FPGA Design Tutorial Part-14ofN : Clocking

2024.08.25 : I’m BSEE Kevin Hubbard from Seattle, WA. When a stranger asks what I do, I typically answer “I design computer chips” and they usually stare at me blankly. I don’t actually work for Nvidia, AMD or even Intel. I use the term “computer chips” generically for “large digital semiconductor chips” which is a mouthful that very few understand. For 30+ years I’ve been designing digital ASICs and FPGAs. I’m giving back now in writing this “Getting started with FPGAs” series which starts here. I hope others may learn a little bit from my experiences going back to the early...

Inside the guidance system and computer of the Minuteman III nuclear missile

The Minuteman missile was introduced in 1962 as a key part of America's nuclear deterrent. The Minuteman III missile is currently the only US land-based intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM), with 400 missiles ready for launch, spread across five central states.1 The missile contains a precision guidance system, capable of delivering a warhead to a target 13,000 km away (8000 miles) with an accuracy of 200 meters (660 feet).

The diagram below shows the guidance system of the Minuteman III missile (1970). This guidance system contains over 17,000 electronic and mechanical parts, costing $510,000 (about $4.5 million in current dollars). The heart of the guidance system is the...

Виниловый звук. Доработка проигрывателя, сборка лампового усилителя-корректора

Отправная точка — преобразование аналогового сигнала (звук) в цифровой, неизбежно приводит к потерям и искажениям, тем более что конечный результат стараются тем или иным способом сделать покомпактнее. Обратный процесс тоже ничего хорошего не добавит. Трагично и поучительно, что и сегодня, для «звуковоспроизведения высокой верности» наиболее близким к оригиналу массовым способом сохранения звукозаписи, как и при царе Горохе, остаётся грампластинка.

Reverse engineering the 59-pound printer onboard the Space Shuttle

https://invidious.privacyredirect.com/watch?v=1SjtmePBZjo

The Space Shuttle contained a bulky printer so the astronauts could receive procedures, mission plans, weather reports, crew activity plans, and other documents. Needed for the first Shuttle launch in 1981, this printer was designed in just 7 months, built around an Army communications terminal. Unlike modern printers, the Shuttle's printer contains a spinning metal drum with raised characters, allowing it to rapidly print a line at a time.

This printer is known as the Space...

Однокаскадный ламповый усилитель для квартирной музыки

Речь идёт об оснащении звуковоспроизводящей аппаратурой, по возможности «высокой верности», небольшой городской квартиры. Своими руками и невеликими средствами. Причём во главу угла решено поставить «звук», манкируя некоторыми эксплуатационными качествами. Здесь: постройка усилителя мощности звуковой частоты (УМЗЧ) в комплект к чувствительным акустическим системам (АС) из гипсокартона [1]. Усилитель выполнен на радиолампах пальчиковой серии и примечателен рядом необычностей. Читать дальше →

FIFOs ( First-In, First-Out )

2024.07.21 : I’m BSEE Kevin Hubbard from Seattle, WA. Starting in 1995 with a 0.35µm (350nm) Xilinx 4036XL, I’ve spent the majority of my 30+ year career designing digital logic chips ( ASICs and FPGAs ) for embedded systems. It’s been amazing watching Moore’s Law enable FPGAs to become more and more powerful over the decades. In many industries they’ve overtaken ASICs for signal processing. It’s been a challenging career for sure and I’ve learned a lot. I’m giving back now in writing this “Getting started with FPGAs” series which starts here. It’s a memoir of...
