Who am I?

I have
devoted time over the last six years to hobby robotics and programming of the Atmel AVR® series of micro controllers. It was a return
to my roots as a designer of embedded processors for
industrial, medical and communications industries. As a result of my work I
have developed a small real time operating system (RTOS)
that I call AvrX, short for AVR Executive. AvrX has undergone three
major revisions over the years. The latest is tuned to work
with the GNU and IAR C compilers. I use AvrX as
the foundation for all my non-trivial AVR projects. There is a
yahoo mailing list for AvrX users:
www.yahoogroups.com/group/avrx. My hobby
robotics activities has expanded into various contract jobs and related
product developments. I designed and wrote the s/w for the various
Open Source Motor Control group (www.yahoogroups.com\group\OSMC)
controllers (MOB,
uRRC and uRRC 2.0)
and the heart of these controllers lives on in
www.robot-solutions.com
products. I also sell direct, and through resellers, a selection of
small motor controllers and
robot development boards.

06-May-2005
 | Added paper on generating large numbers of R/C
pulse outputs using very simple code & a decade counter (74HC164).
AVR RC Output.pdf (360k) |
| Discontinued the uRRC
2.0 Robot Controller. Design files are available for
non-commercial use, or for commercial use with a license agreement. |
20-Jan-2005
| Check out my FIRST
robotics activities. |
| www.SeattleRobotics.org
has added a robot kit + lesson material based upon the ARC
board. Because many SRS movers & shakers are busy with
their own FIRST teams, this project will be in suspended animation
until March or so. But do check back! |
| motor/wheel
combo is no longer available (sold them all to SRS for their
robot!) |

30-Nov-2003
| Added a small experimental project to interface
standard LEGO sensors (light, rotation and touch) to an AVR
processor. |
14-July-2003
| Added the ANT150
controller. Exactly the same form factor and general
specifications as the ANT100, but with the addition of a variable
output 15A switch for simple weapon control. |
02-June-2003
| ANT controllers are now available again. The
newest controller, ANT100, is a simple,
inexpensive, 2x5A controller for ant weight combat robotics.
ANT100 controllers also work well in any application that needs to
control small dc motors with R/C style signaling (i.e. Basic stamp
or other type controllers). |
