Constructed the winker-blinker electronic and woodwork project.
I drilled the printed circuit board and sanded its edges. The resistors,
transistors and capacitors were soldered by me. I drew and painted
a design on the pine panel. I drilled two holes for the light emitting
diodes and the screws which fasten the panel to the base.

please visit www.swcelectronics.com > projects > winker-blinker.
Constructing the Tree electronic and woodwork project, including an
original Baltic birch plywood clock or box design. I painted and
varnished this project. To view a Flickr album of photographs and
related project information, please visit www.swcelectronics.com >
projects > tree.
Constructing the Snake maze game from basic parts and materials.
The maze design is my own. I masked, etched, drilled and populated
the printed circuit board. For a Flickr album of project photographs,
please visit www.swcelectroncs.com > projects > snake maze.
Constructing the Gnat walking robot from basic parts and materials.
This quadrupedal robot has two tactile sensors. Four 74AC240PC
integrated circuits control and power its two clutch drive motors.
The chip is an octal buffer with tri-state output. I masked, etched,
drilled and populated the printed circuit board with basic parts (not
a kit). To read more about this robot or to view photographs and
technical drawings – visit www.swcelectronics.com > projects > gnat
Constructing the Churbie mousebot from basic parts and materials.
This robot has three tactile sensors: two whiskers and a tail. Two
infrared sensors are used to follow a flashlight beam. I masked,
etched, drilled and populated the four double-sided printed circuit
boards (not a kit). An operational amplifier and an electromechanical
relay control the motors. The robot reverses and changes direction
when it encounters an obstacle. For photographs, a circuit schematic,
and other details, visit www.swcelectronics.com > projects > churbie.
Constructing the Insectronic robot from basic parts and materials
(not a kit). This programmable hexapod navigates with the aid of two
infrared sensors. Its legs are driven by three CS-60 Hobbico servos.
An electrically erasable microcontroller (Microchip PIC 16F627A)
directs all of its functions. The robot moves around obstacles.
A printed circuit board software application was used to design the
controller and sensor boards. I masked, etched, drilled and populated
2
the boards with electronic parts. I also did extensive troubleshooting
to ensure that it worked. To view photographs and technical drawings,
please visit www.swcelectronics.com > projects > insectronic.
Constructing the serpentronic robot. This programmable robotic snake has
seven segments, including head and tail. An infrared sensor detects
obstacles. Its sinusoidal movements are driven by six CS-60 Hobbico
servos. An electrically erasable Microchip PIC 16F627A microcontroller directs all of its functions. The robot will move around
obstacles. With a special printed circuit board application, I designed
the controller and sensor boards. I also masked, etched, drilled and
populated these boards. To make my serpentronic work, I conducted
intensive troubleshooting. For a video, circuit schematic, and other
details, visit www.swcelectronics.com > projects > serpentronic.
Constructing the MP3 headphone amplifier. This project fits inside a
small mint tin which serves as a Faraday cage. The circuit uses a dual
channel operational amplifier, either the Burr-Brown OPA2134 or
OPA2132PA. It is powered by two AA batteries. I designed the
printed circuit board mask using Proteus Ares, a CAD application.
This do it yourself pcb was masked, etched, drilled and populated with
electronic parts. For more information, visit www.swcelectronics.com
> projects > mp3 amplifier.
Constructing the minty boost auxiliary power charger from basic parts and
materials. This small device will charge an MP3 player, camera,
cell phone, and almost any other gadget that plugs into a USB port to
charge. Its LT1302 chip provides 5 volts at 500 milliamps. With the
Proteus Ares printed circuit board application I drew my own pcb
mask, based on Lady Ada’s original design. For more information,
visit www.swcelectronics.com > projects > minty boost.
Constructing the programmable TV-B-Gone from basic parts and
materials. Two narrow beam and two wide beam infrared light
emitting diodes control televisions at up to forty-five metres. A
microcontroller, the Atmel ATTINY 85V, stores over 230 codes. The
device is powered by two AA batteries. The printed circuit board
mask was produced with the aid of Proteus Ares, a pcb design
application. I masked, etched, drilled, and populated this project with
electronic parts. The program was compiled and installed using an
AVR programmer. Please visit www.swcelectronics.com > projects >
tv-b-gone for more information.
Constructing the programmable bicycle persistence of vision (POV)
project from basic parts and materials (not a kit). The three main
parts of the device are mounted on the spokes of a bicycle wheel.

As the wheel turns, two hundred light emitting diodes project a pattern
or message that fills the circular area. I produced the double-sided
printed circuit board with Proteus Ares, a computer assisted design
application. Then I masked, etched, drilled, and populated each of
the three boards. The program for the image was compiled and
installed on the microcontrollers using a T-Pic programmer. For more
details, please visit www.swcelectronics.com > projects > bicycle pov.
Constructing the iambic keyer. The printed circuit board layout is my
own, and was produced in Proteus Ares, a computer assisted design
application. An iambic keyer transmits Morse code by producing
alternate dots and dashes when both paddles are pressed. The left key
produces dits and the right dahs. I designed and built the enclosure
and paddles. The microcontroller is a PIC ___________ (?)
