VS Electronics and Embedded Development

While wordpress is nice as a blog, it feels like a crude content management system for electronics projects that might have many images (pictures, schematics) and extra files (code, schematics). Also, I never liked the size wordpress scaled uploaded images to, or where it stored the images (although there might be a third party plugin or modification to better customize this process), so I’ve always been reluctant to upload images and then manually scale them to my preferred size with “convert.”

Recently I’ve launched a development wiki powered by DokuWiki. It’s not really a wiki, since I’m the only one that can edit it, but I think it will work as a good backend for my project site. You can find the development wiki here: http://dev.frozeneskimo.com/.

I’ve already moved most of the projects from my blog to my wiki, and even added a new one (the Parallel SRAM one). This blog isn’t going anywhere, I think it’s great for news/project updates and the like, but the actual project content will be stored on the wiki.

A typical parallel SRAM chip has always been on my list of things-to-interface-with so I decided to take up this mini-project a little while ago. It’s pretty straightforward. I’ve put the explanation, schematic, and source code for interfacing an ATMega32 to a 32 kilobyte SRAM chip, you can find it here: http://dev.frozeneskimo.com/embedded_projects:parallel_sram.

And here’s a picture (can’t forget it):
