  1. Now: my open-source #OpenCV compatible #FPGA Stereo Vision Core: 30 FPS VGA in #Xilinx S3E 500; 1080p in Spartan-6 LX75! wp.me/pv3Yx-bg
  2. Overview of my ongoing #FPGA Stereo Vision project; compatible with @willowgarage 's #ROS and #OpenCV : wp.me/pv3Yx-9u
  3. My Spartan-6 BGA test board, featuring a #Xilinx #FPGA and DDR2 memory on a low-cost 4-layer PCB: wp.me/pv3Yx-9j
  4. A detailed writeup on my toaster-oven reflow-soldering controller (using solid-state relays, thermocouples, and an AVR): wp.me/pv3Yx-92
  5. My MT9V032 LVDS camera board - featuring an Aptina VGA CMOS image sensor and Atmel AVR microcontroller: wp.me/pv3Yx-8Q
  6. A writeup on my 3-phase brushless DC motor controller board: wp.me/pv3Yx-8F
  7. Just posted a writeup on my FMC-LPC to SATA adapter board - designed for the #Xilinx SP605 Spartan-6 #FPGA board: wp.me/pv3Yx-8m
  8. Apparently Xilinx's Spartan-6 #FPGA AXI PCIe core uses AXI4-*stream*; so I have to write a whole new bus wrapper anyway (probably plain AXI)
  9. Oh, that's just brilliant. Whoever assembled my Xilinx SP605 board managed to load the molex power connector backwards (12V on 5V!).
  10. 12 chapters of "Linux Device Drivers" down - http://lwn.net/Kernel/LDD3/ - just a few more to go...
  11. Just received my remaining MT9V032 camera boards - http://flic.kr/p/8TRkRW - now I actually have enough to do stereo vision.
  12. Okay: I'll give this Twitter thing a shot.
