The GI SP0256 chip is an early 1980s bit of technology. It’s a 5V (to 7V) NMOS chip which is compatible enough with the 5V TTL circuity common in that era. 5V TTL disappeared for a while, then came back with the Atmel _28-based Arduino boards, many of which run at 5V. The SP0256 chip

I developed the camera trigger unit in order to synchronize various events and actions during free-flight experiments with hawkmoths in the wind tunnel described in a previous post. More specifically, the goal was to trigger multiple high-speed cameras and have LEDs that indicate the exact timing of electrical stimuli delivered via a miniature stimulus chip

Using Arduino tide predictions

Using Arduino tide predictions using arduino

Home Automation Project Ideas / By

In the previous post, I outlined some Arduino code to generate tide height predictions for a NOAA tidal reference station. Now let’s do something useful with this newfound functionality. In the experiments I run, it’s useful to keep intertidal animals like snails and limpets on a natural tidal cycle. In addition, some animals like high-shore
