In part 1 and part 2 of building my first VanSpoof prototype, I managed to flash the microcontroller on the PCB with a blinky demo. This time round, let's see about sending and receiving some serial data.

Let's look at building a prototype PCB for my VanSpoof project. I really want to get better at soldering SMD components, so I'm going to try to use as few through-hole parts as I can get away with.

Simplify VCD is a tool designed to make working with Value Change Dump (VCD) files more efficient and faster. This tool enables users to clip sections of VCD files, trim irrelevant data, and reduce the resolution to a more manageable timescale, significantly improving processing speed and usability.

My latest blog post: VanSpoof β A-Muntzing We Will Go

With my first few VanSpoof prototypes assembled, I had noticed that the L78L05 was sometimes getting a little hot. Instead of knuckling down and calculating more suitable component values, I turned to the tried and tested method of Muntzing to get my power draw down.
