How to Add Image to Cadsoft Eagle Schematic
January 14, 2012 at 2:06 pm | Posted in Eagle PCB, idea, Tutorial | Leave a commentTags: bitmap, Eagle, tutorial
Few days ago, I wanted to put a logo to EAGLE schematic.
There are couple of ways to add image to EAGLE PCB. You could use Bitmap to Eagle converter tool or you could use the import_bmp.ulp.
But, there is limited online tutorial or tips on how to import image to schematic.
I experimented the import_bmp.ulp a little bit, and I’d like to share my technique.
In this video, I show how to import a Creative Commons license logo as a device in a Eagle library which can then be added into schematics as a part. Now, you can add any image to schematics. Personal artwork, company logo, license, or even your photo.
Soldering is Easy – Menyolder Itu Gampang (Indonesian Translation)

I cannot remember exactly when I started to learn soldering.
But since, I now know how to solder SMDs. I can handle 0402 very easily.
If you are a complete beginner and never done soldering before, this is a great comic and illustrated teaching instruction on how to solder that you should check out.
Soldering is Easy by Mitch Altman, Andie Nordgren and Jeff Keyzer.
Until today, this comic has been translated into Russian, Chinese and Portuguese.
I was born in Indonesia. So, I decided to translate this great comic into Bahasa Indonesian making it more accessible to wider community!

Ya adik-adik semua, selamat mencoba menyolder ria!

Data logging using ez430-Chronos watch (Part 3: svn external)

Few people had problems when trying to combine the zedgraph and ez430chronosnet libraries into the Chronoswatch Downloader project.
I just committed the Visual Studio Solution files into the Sourceforge directory and added the svn:external properties to automatically download the zedgraph and ez430chronosnet from different repository addresses.
So, thanks to svn:external property, now if you do SVN export from https://ez430watch-dl.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/ez430watch-dl
it will also automatically export the zedgraph and ez430chronosnet.
Hope that you should be able to open the solutions file in Visual Studio and do Build without any problem.
Cheers!
Data logging using ez430-Chronos watch (Part 2: Downloader)
November 21, 2010 at 4:16 pm | Posted in Uncategorized | 19 CommentsI am glad that there are few people actually use the firmware to log the accelerometer data from the ez430-watch.
Some of them asked when I can release the Windows application to download the data to PC and setup the watch.
So guys, you can now download the code as I just released them.
http://ez430watch-dl.sourceforge.net/
Remember, you need to include the ez430chronosnet and zedgraph libraries to your project/solutions.
Cheers.
Data logging using ez430-Chronos watch (Part 1: Firmware)
November 6, 2010 at 1:37 am | Posted in ez430 chronos, MSP430, My Projects | 39 CommentsTI provides sample program for data logging using ez430-Chronos watch.
However, the code only logs ambient temperature and altitude.
It does not log the triaxial accelerometer data.
So, I modified TI’s data logger sample project (CCS) to record x-y-z data.
Go to the bottom of this post for the link to download the code.
A simple Windows application is also written to setup the watch: date-time, sampling period (1s), and the datalog mode (ACCELERATION + ALTITUDE + TEMPERATURE).
This same application also download the data from the watch, save into csv file and plot them in separate graph.
Special thanks to Wonderful libraries: ez430chronosnet to talk to the watch and zedgraph to plot the data.
Current issue:
The watch only have enough memory to store up to 20 minutes worth of x,y,z,temp, and alt with 1Hz sampling rate.
Below is the sample data collected from playing Badminton last week.
Go HERE if you want to download the source code for the firmware.
I will release the code for the windows application on my next post.
