High-speed ADC pHAT for Raspberry Pi

kelu124 designed this board to add high-speed analog inputs to the Raspberry Pi:

20Msps+ ADC RaspberryPi extension

We haven’t tapped yet into the full potential of the Raspberry Pi in terms of ADC. Some have shown that the first gen of Raspberry could go to 10Msps [..] My take is that the new Raspberry Pi’s  can surely go above. And I want to try it, either with this old CA3306E or with more recent kick-ass ADCs.

Flash Memory Adapter for some Game Boy Cartridges

You only need to solder 3 or 4 wires and the adapter board to an old cartridge, PCB adapter boards are manufactured on OSH park to ensure the best quality of castellations.

Compatible Cartridges:

  • DMG-A02-01: MBC5 + ROM (256/512/1024 KB) + RAM (32KB) + Battery
  • DMG-A06-01: MBC5 + ROM (256/512/1024 KB) + RAM (8KB) + Battery
  • DMG-A07-01: MBC5 + ROM (256/512/1024 KB)

JRodrigo has shared the board on OSH Park:

E-Paper Breakout Board for Teensy

Breakout board designed in KiCad to connect Pervasive Displays 2.15″ E-Paper (E2215CS062) to Teensy 3.2 or Teensy LC. Based Teensy E-Paper Shield by Jarek Lupinski in EAGLE.

My goal is to create a name badge I can wear at conferences and Maker Faires. This was first step to verify the KiCad schematic and KiCad footprints work. I will post more information as the badge project progresses.

3D Printed USB Connector

chmod775 on Hackaday.io designed this simple 3D Printed USB Connector compatible with PCBs from OSH Park:

3D Printed USB Connector

I’ve made this 3D USB Connector because I want to remove the chunky and complex standard metal USB Connector from my new upcoming project.
The design it’s made to be simple and with the height reference from the OSHP ark PCB’s.

Biomed Shield for Arduino 101

A sweet Arduino shield with a ton of cool sensors for physiological parameters such as heart rate and breathing rate

The features include:

  • Heart Rate Monitoring with the MAX30101
  • Pulse Oximeter with the MAX30101
  • Electrocardiogram, Electromyogram, and Electrooculogram with our Super Simple EXG Circuit
  • Bioimpedance with the AD5934
  • Body Temperature with the MLX90614
  • Ambient Light with a CdS Photocell
  • Ambient Temperature with a Thermistor

Crazy Circuits is a non-soldering electronic learning platform that allows people to create circuits from almost any material they can imagine. Crazy Circuits are designed to pop onto LEGO™ bricks, enabling your LEGO™ creations to shine, move, and make noise. Use Crazy Circuits to construct paper crafts with conductive tape, use conductive thread for sewing, and create art with conductive inks and paints. You can even program sketches with Arduino compatible Crazy Circuits boards. No matter what you want to build, Crazy Circuits brings it all together.

Build a Synthesizer with Darcy Neal in Chicago

600_459740602.jpeg

Darcy Neal will lead a workshop in Chicago on building your own synthesizer:

https://www.meetup.com/Solder-Stitch-And-Code/events/238959615/

We’ll learn about some of the building blocks of creating a synthesizer using the 4046 VCO and the classic 40106 CMOS ICs. The 4046 is a well documented and powerful IC that can be turned into a modular synth voice with just a few added components. Participants will learn to solder together their own prototyping PCB, build a circuit on a breadboard from a schematic, experiment with sensors, and learn the basics about how to produce custom circuit boards using design software like Kicad and Fritzing. No experience is necessary, but basic electronic knowledge or a strong interest in synths will be helpful.

We are trying to figure out what direction to take this blend of technology and art — should we offer pieces for sale, or offer a service for making your own pieces from your own artwork, for instance. We’re certainly going to continue to explore it from a technology and art creative point of view. If you feel inclined, please take a moment to leave a comment, we are interested in your feedback!
