So this is meant to be paired with a UART program. This code is not all my own but I could not remember where I found it. I have edited the original quite a bit but the same structure is still there. If someone recognizes it please let me know so I can give credit.
Printf Code (CCS V5)
The case I designed and Chris printed showed up today. This is the prototype case. I had to make some slight tweaks to the design to get it ready for the final version.
You can download the files on the NES Toploader project page and check out the progress of the portable.
I just put the finishing touches on my extensive UART and FIFO library. It uses the MSP430G2553 chip which has a hardware USCI. This can be used for a hardware UART. There are a couple different options to choose from and versions with or without a FIFO.
I will be making a standalone FIFO library so one can be used to store data.
edit: The standalone FIFO library is there now. Not fully tested but should work.
I finally finished the first version of the chassis files. This one is just laser cutting. I will be releasing two more sets, a 3D printed one and a template for hand cutting.
The chassis files will be in AutoDesk 123D format. It is a free 3D modeling program aimed at makers.

First an announcement! I just added a Tools section to the site. The goal is to help new hackers and hobbyist find inexpensive but good equipment.
This is my experience with the X-Tronic SMD Hot Air Rework Station #4040. It is a dual hot air and solder station. I ordered it on Amazon for $140. I chose the X-Tronic over similar stations in this price range for the fact that it has a dual LED read out of the temperatures and had a better looking/more comfortable soldering iron. It also comes with a 1 year warranty against any faults or problems with the unit.
Its here.
Close to 50 parts! msPROBOT project page.
Today I updated all the parent links at the top menu and adjusted some of the links around.
I also open sourced my old Atari Video mods which you can download off this page.
If you check out the PCB projects you will find that each one now has a change log file associated with it. This will help document what changes between each version of the boards.
This is an interesting chip from TI TPS2543. It will allow i-devices to charge at up to 2.1A and supports USB3.0 spec of up to 900mA. Pretty niffty! Look for this chip to be added to the design. A member from Dangerous Prototypes pointed it out.
Some minor tweaks and added some more power headers. This should be the first version in PCB form.
The msPROBOT project page is live!
