I used to work during summers for a bricklayer. I learned one thing there: air conditioning is pretty good stuff. (We should do more of it.)
Some people think bricklaying would be a great job, kind of like playing Tetris all day, except with real blocks. But here's what the …
In my previous blog posts, the SKiDL circuit descriptions were flat. In this post, I'll show a bit of how to describe a circuit hierarchically.
Hierarchy is typically used when there is some subcircuit that needs to be replicated several times or which can serve as a module in several …
In my previous post, I showed how to use SKiDL to describe the circuit for a simple USB-to-JTAG interface circuit. That circuit used a PIC32MX microcontroller in a 28-pin SSOP package:
and the corresponding SKiDL code was:
pic32 = Part(pic32_lib, 'pic32MX2\*0F\*\*\*B-SSOP28-SOIC28-SPDIP28',
footprint='Housings_SSOP:SSOP-28_5.3x10.2mm_Pitch0.65mm')
I …
This post describes using SKiDL for a USB-to-JTAG interface that was taken all the way from concept to physically building a device.
The interface is pretty simple. It's built from the following stuff:
