Let There Be Light… Dependent Resistors! - Make it stand out This circuit uses a simple transistor and gate driver to control the LED directly from the voltage supply rails, so it draws nearly no current from the GPIO of the microcontroller. The LED in turn controls the photoresistor, which is used as the R in the RC filter. The output is then isolated, biased to be within the range of the op-amp, and then isolated with a capacitor so it oscillates about 0V rather than 2.5V. It’s not a very good filter, but the opto-isolator is definitely not the part holding it back https://www.umassamherstm5.org/blog/new-stock-connectors-amp-smt-adapters monthly 0.5 2026-02-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6010347bd4e38835c73498e4/f7b02a2b-85ab-4512-bde3-28291c6e7d19/IMG_4977.jpg Blog -

It is important to note that most companies design their boards using proprietary form factor, as these manufacturers have different design goals. In the case of the Pico, the main goal was to provide a cheap board. This meant cutting down on the feature set, which brought the cost down to $4 a board. This is excellent for anyone who wants to pick up and use an RP2040 microcontroller without a high-cost barrier, however, Adafruit saw an opportunity to capitalize on the lack of a standard form factor. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6010347bd4e38835c73498e4/63327df3-e45b-4a83-b73c-84ab3537932d/4884-10.jpg Blog - The Adafruit Feather and the Sparkfun Thing Plus form factor - Make it stand out Shown here is a Feather RP2040, analogous to a Pico in terms of computing power. You might immediately notice the connectors are different. Here we get to see that this Feather board comes with a LiPo/LiPoly 2-pin header next to a USB-C connector (many previous Feather board revisions used the Micro USB-B connector) and a STEMMA QT/Qwiic connector used for I2C protocol (Check out the I2C vs. SPI blog post, and Stemma QT/Qwicc sensor blog post to learn more) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6010347bd4e38835c73498e4/3e3241ff-dd83-4625-bcfd-04e9111941b3/4650-02.jpg Blog - The Adafruit Feather and the Sparkfun Thing Plus form factor - Make it stand out Shown here is a Featherwing OLED, a very common component for any project, displays are usually used to visually provide important information.

Intro to On-Chip Networks - Make it stand out cons of this method: - can be expensive having a new bus / flight for each route → hard to scale - inefficient 2) Arbitration having more routes available only when there is a higher demand. i.e flying to miami only during a holiday/weekends as opposed to a daily New York City to San Fransisco flight https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6010347bd4e38835c73498e4/4c63563b-b0d4-4faf-94a2-db098c2f4722/Screenshot+2025-10-28+at+5.39.30%E2%80%AFPM.png Blog - Intro to On-Chip Networks - Make it stand out there are also multiple types of arbitration: - round robin → where each node gets a turn to use the bus, and then waits till all of the nodes have used the bus to go again - collision-based → checking if one flight is inactive, it cancels and then focuses on other flights and many others….. cons: - the bandwidth is still limited despite not being as heavy on resources - since it is reliant on one bus, if anything happens the entire system falls https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6010347bd4e38835c73498e4/d1aad1f9-45ca-4696-b153-b6f1e0add357/Screenshot+2025-10-28+at+5.52.08%E2%80%AFPM.png Blog -

Ultimately I chose to use a microcontroller as it seemed like the simplest solution. I chose an ATTiny85 as they function well enough with low power draw and cost nearly nothing, then wrote a simple program to poll the ADC, scale it to the expected 0-5 volts, and then output it as PWM. As I discovered in last week’s post, I found that this controller actually has a low pass filter built in, so it was easy to smooth the PWM back into an analog voltage. I also used the EEPROM function to calibrate the throttle rather than hard-code it into the program. This allows me to recalibrate the scaler if, for example, I replace the throttle with one that behaves slightly differently. https://www.umassamherstm5.org/blog/pi-room-spectrum-analyzer monthly 0.5 2025-10-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6010347bd4e38835c73498e4/a2c59d30-1863-4d30-96dc-73b26f7404e8/IMG_4657.jpg Blog - Pi Room - Spectrum Analyzer - Make it stand out Sine wave from function generator, 7.35MHz https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6010347bd4e38835c73498e4/5a468bc5-92c3-4ef3-93a5-b8744d078731/IMG_4658.jpg Blog - Pi Room - Spectrum Analyzer - Make it stand out Spectral power of above signal https://www.umassamherstm5.org/blog/tpl-communication-conquered monthly 0.5 2025-10-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6010347bd4e38835c73498e4/9948fd8c-f592-4332-b247-f14c2c55ab13/IMG20251004172426.jpg Blog - TPL Communication Conquered!

Akshat’s all-terrain buggy now sits out front of M5, and is fully functional. Some caveats still exist in the form of noisy power traces and trouble pushing the nearly 10 amps drawn by the six motors, but it works nonetheless. The events at M5 this weekend were a great opportunity to speak to some of the original creators of these projects, and notably, we have some direction on where to move forward with the repeating errors on the Magichess board. We’re still waiting on parts to arrive for the Open Assist lamp, and the Go board is missing elusive source code and a Jetson Nano needed for operation. https://www.umassamherstm5.org/blog/de-google-my-life monthly 0.5 2025-04-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6010347bd4e38835c73498e4/936dc37c-9e53-4cb9-89f4-3e50a2656d37/Screenshot+2025-04-19+171505.png Blog -
