In the last days I had a lot of work and, as you probably know, a lot of work means a lot of stress… In order to relieve this stress, I have been playing the Sauerbraten game ;-) . It is the best free linux game and it is open source, so we have the access to the source code of the whole application / game, and hence we can modify it.

Today I am going to be a bit more commercial. Having cleared up my storehouse I found a few components that remained after the production of small series. I have 100 pcs of Atmega8A-PU, 100 pcs of MAX232 RS232 converters and 100 pcs of DS18B20 temperature sensors for sale. MAX232 and Atmega8A-PU in DIP package and DS18B20 in TO92 package. The price list is shown below. If you have any questions or doubts… go ahead and write me!

Potrzeba matką wynalazku! Co zrobić gdy potrzebujemy zaopatrzyć nasz układ oparty o mikrokontroler (np. At90s2313, attiny2313 i pochodne) w prosty przetwornik A/D, przy czym akceptujemy błędy pomiarowe na poziomie +/- 5% ? Naturalnie można podłączyć zewnętrznego ADC na I2C, ale w przypadku gdy chcemy tylko zorientować się jak wygląda napięcie lub dokonać jego nie dokładnego [...]
