Manufacturing and Test Automation

Many of my consulting projects revolve around writing custom software to run custom manufacturing and test automation equipment.

You can read about some them here.

AVR Development Libraries

I have shared a couple of C libraries I have written for the Atmel AVR 8-bit RISC microcontroller family. One provides functions for USART communications, SPI communications, "gentle" EEPROM updates, and network "endian" conversion. The other provides a preemptive multitasking/multi-threading library written mostly in C.

You can read about them here.

dsPIC Development Libraries

I have shared a couple of C libraries I have written for the Microchip dsPIC family of 16-bit microcontrollers with digital signal processing (DSP) engines. One provides an implementation of the 16-bit CRC-CCITT algorithm, a stand-in for the missing <stdbool.h> and <stdint.h> standard C99 headers, plus a number of useful macros for controlling interrupt priority levels and emitting special microcontroller instructions. The other provides a cooperative multitasking/multi-threading library written mostly in C.

Bigloo Scheme Compiler Patches

I have a number of small patches I use when I build the Bigloo compiler.

You can read about them here.

Guile Scheme Modules

Sometimes I write scripts using Guile Scheme. In the process of doing this, I've created some Guile modules of functions and macros that I have found useful.

You can read about them here.

gEDA and Electronic Design

I use the gEDA suite of tools for electronic design. In the course of working with gEDA, I have written a PCB plug-in to help update footprints in-place, a library to help write scripts that generate PCB footprints, a component renumbering script for gschem, and more.

You can read about it here.

PDF Merge

I have written a simple Windows application to help merge several PDF files into a single PDF file.

You can read about PDFMerge here.

Chinese Zodiac and Calendar

I have written a small Web application and standalone Windows application for converting a date and time to the corresponding Chinese calendar date and zodiacal characters.

You can read about them here.

Old Patches

Some old patches of mine can be found here.
