Welcome

• 日本語のスタートページはこちらです。

Welcome to the second incarnation of my wiki. I decided phpwiki was a clumsy pile of poo after it managed to thrash all my pages so I've switched to dokuwiki instead. Seems a lot better. ^^ So what do we have here then?.. Basically a collection of stuff that is of little or no interest to most people, I've put it here mainly for myself and people I collaborate with. Feel free to read anything, editing is locked out however.

~dgp 20090615 In the process of cleaning this all up.

• Voxalot; Provides a sort of hosted PBX setup… allows you to register with multiple voice, DID etc providers via voxalot and then setup your SIP devices to register with Voxalot. Missing some features like “forward on no answer”, things like that. :/
• Localphone; Provides cheap international rates via access numbers and SIP services… I'm using this with voxalot.
• mydivert; Sells DID's for a good number of countries, and allows you to forward them to PSTN numbers, SIP addresses and apparently use their SIP services for outward calls (never got it to work). I buy my numbers from MyDivert and peer them with Voxalot.

• Secure Mailable Token Generator; For Java/Groovy with JPA.
• Mod VHOST LDAP; Improved version of mod vhost ldap.

• Hackaday, sometimes has interesting “hacks”, electronic bits and bobs. Sometimes has complete bollocks, worth a look once in a while.

• Rapid Online, has a lot of stuff and is a lot cheaper than maplin. Shipping can be a bit pricey if you're not ordering lots of stuff but it does get to you the next day.
• Bitsbox, limited amount of components *BUT* extremely well priced and shipping is 1.50 however much shit you buy. Recommended.
• Seeedstudio; Chinese company that supply Arduino clones, and other interesting bits and bobs. They also have a cheap pcb service apparently.
• Sure Electronics; Chinese ebay vendor.. good prices on LCDs etc.
• AkizukiDenshi; Electronics shop in Akihabara, has lots of H8 kits. :)
• Chip1Stop; Japanese IC supplier, has lots of Renesas parts, sells single chips and orders over ¥5000 are shipped free.

• avr-libc; There is good GCC support for the AVR, use it! avr-libc is the only other thing you need.. lots of docs here.
• USBasp; USB AVR programmer, these can be had very cheaply from ebay+china.
• AVRDude; Programming software for your cheap USBasp progger.
• ISP Programming info; Useful details and pinouts for getting ISP working on your AVR projects.

• Wikipedia - PIC Microcontroller

• k8048 *nix software for the K8048 kit from Vellman. Note that the k8048 is a pile of shit.

• Helicron Renesas Pages; Lots and lots of good info about the H8 series.
• AkizukiDenshi Boards Info; Japanese site with loads of info about AkizukiDenshi's H8 boards among other things.
• H8 Writer; Japanese site with a Windows H8 writing tool.

• PL-2303; These are found in most of the cheap USB→RS232(Loosely speaking) adaptors that you'll find on ebay for a couple quid from China. If possible get the biggest one you can get.. i.e. the blue moulded ones aren't hackable at all, the bigger ones seem of better quality and generally contain chips you can resolder if need be.

• FTDI FT232 series; I haven't seen these on any really cheap adaptors, all the chinese specials are PL-2303 chipset from what I can tell. The FTDI chips seem to be of better quality and turn up a lot on USB→RS232 cables aimed at people doing micro controller projects. Also present on Arduino clones like the Seeeduino.

• Mystery board number one is this.

WonderDroid

• Groovy; Very nice, Java without the ballache.

• Hardoff; If you've ever bought some retro games from Japan (while not in Japan of course, otherwise you would already know about this ;) ) this is probably were it came from originally and at about 10% of the price you paid for it. I think generally people that work at English schools find that the wages for being a body in a suit are actually quite bad and start flogging games at insane prices to support themselves. Lookout for people that are registered on lots and lots of “arcade/gaming” forums.

• Console-News.org; For the console underground innit.
