Arcade Testing with Arduino Mega ICT

Stumbled across the Arduino-Mega-ICT project in a posting at the UKVAC site. Thought that it might come in useful as I dig in again on fixing up the 3-board stack for my Taito Space Invaders. I wanted to add some additional labeling to the PCB (to make it easier to orient the ribbon cables), so …


NrfLoader – an OTA solution for PIC uControllers

First tests of the NrfLoader are underway. [NrfLoader] is a project to implement an Over-the-Air bootloader for PIC16F1823/25 based devices, via the NRF24L01 RF modules. The NRF24L01 is connected to the PIC via 4-wire SPI interface (MISO/MOSI/CS/CLK), and can provide up to a 2Mbps wireless connection. I have a series of these already in operation, …
