Personal Projects Advent Calendar 2018 | | Thursday, December 27th 2018, 00:00 |
So this December (or tbh, many were shot during November), I pulled together and made videos for 25 of my projects. They date from very recent (November 2018) back to my school days (2007), so there's quite some variation to the style and type of project. I hope that you will enjoy (at least some of) them.
FlySky FS-i6 as PC Joystick | | Updated Friday, October 18th 2019, 17:44 |
In this post, I will explain how to use the FlySky FS-i6 RC remote control as a game controller / joystick on Linux. This post covers how to connect the FS-iA6B receiver to a computer and how to compile the driver and support software.

In the first video of this series, I show how I got the LCD of the Brother LW-35 Typewriter working with an Orange Pi PC Linux SBC.
USB VFD (HCS-12SS59T) | | Updated Saturday, March 24th 2018, 18:05 |
When ordering at Pollin Electronic, there is this unwritten rule of at least throwing in one probably useless item, one that you might never even get to work (or that is broken in the first place). In my last order, this was a Samsung HCS-12SS59T vacuum fluorescent display[1]. I absolutely love this kind of display and they were cheap at only EUR 1.75 a piece. So why not?
In this post, I will showcase the project that this display became.
Lattice MachXO2 Based FPGA Development Board | | Updated Monday, November 27th 2017, 18:37 |
The Tiny-XO2 is a small, versatile and cost-effective development platform for Lattice MachXO2 field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs). It is built around a MachXO2-1200HC FPGA which features 1280 LUTs, 64 kbits of EBR SRAM and one PLL besides various other features[1]. The development board extends the functionality by providing a USB-to-serial converter and a crystal to allow quick and easy prototyping. All I/O pins are available on the .1 inch headers and labelled directly on the board. Figure 2 provides an overview of all the board's functions.
GCC is Scary | | Tuesday, May 23rd 2017, 19:58 |
Recently, I had an interesting bug in one of my C applications where the application would work in the debug build but not in the release build (-O3 etc.). It turned out to be a really stupid mistake of mine where I went 'How could that ever work?!' after finding it out. However, this opened my eyes to how strong gcc's optimization feature really is.
In this article, I will explain the mistake I made, how I went about solving it and what I learned about gcc in the process.
