Macrofab Engineering Podcast

Podcast Notes First podcast and the first recording in the "Bomb Shelter" (name pending). See Figure 1. Parker is working on an adjustable fixture to work along with the Jig Of Destiny that is currently being used. It will have an adjustable slide to fit multiple panel sizes. The Macro_Duino has been fixed. Parker tied the FT230X's VCCIO to the 3.3V output on the FT230X which is the standard way to do it. The I/O on the FT230X is 5V tolerant so this should be good. The 3.3V regulator on the chip can supply 50mA if you are daring enough to hook some external circuits up to it. Parker's AVR Tag Connect article came out. Go check it out. Stephen has continued his work on his "Synth Engine" that he started while his wife was in surgery last week. Arduino stuff is working well! However the Arduino wasn't working to well for getting high speed frequencies so Stephen moved to the AD9833 - a 28 bit frequency divider. He put a 1Mhz clock generator (ECS-2100AX-1.0MHZ) and can get up to 0.004Hz resolution. See Figur
