I run a embedded systems development company, Xtal Design Labs Inc. Many of my larger embedded
projects make their home here.
PalmDAQ - Palm Data Acquisition
-
An introduction to data acquisition and storage using a Atmel microcontroller
connected to a PalmOS device via the STK500 evaluation board. This pages supports
an article written for Circuit Cellar issue 159
(October 2003). Also provides a good introduction to serial processing on the Palm and
Atmel platforms with open source tools.

OpenGL Example Programs - Mazemaker2D, MazeGen3D
-
OpenGL programs developed as part of CS4735, Computer Graphics. They
demonstrate some important concepts without being to complicated, such
as object picking and selection, opengl lighting and shading, projections,
primitives, object oriented approaches to 3D, etc. I've also got numerous
OpenGL utility classes for perspective and orthographic cameras, lighting,
etc.

OpenGL Fluid & Soft Object Simulation
-
This is part of a term project in Compuer Graphics that attempts to simulate
fluids, soft solids, (e.g. gels) and other flexible structures in opengl.
At it's core is a mass-spring-damping model that allows for tremendous
flexibility in the scope of simulation while still being a relatively
simple and scaleable model.

Java DCT Image Compression Libraries
-
This is a set of libraries that I wrote some time ago to do DCT
based image compression using Java 1.0. It probably is of some use
to someone and is well documented. I won a top 25% placement from
JARS, for what that's worth. At any rate, enjoy. DCT is the algorithm
used by JPEG and many other applications (in fact, this is nearly
compatible with JPEG and JFIF).

Athlon Watercooling Adventures
-
This is a review of the water cooling kit that I purchased to get my
athlon a lot more reliable at sane temperatures. Also covers the
installation and customization of the kit into my mid-tower case, an
adventure in itself.

Honda Accord DRL Module Repair
-
How to repair a Honda DRL module from a 5th generation Accord. Similar models are on other makes from the same years. There is a common failure caused by cold solder joints that eventually unseat themselves, requiring a $250 replacement or a easy repair.

80188XL High-Speed DMA Engine Tachometer
-
This project was completed as part of my microprocessor design course
that I took as part of the EE undergrad requirements at UNB. I built
a high speed tachometer using a quick ADC chip in C++ using an old
8088 derivative CPU. I look here whenever I think wire-wrap is still a
good idea :).

Solutions to the Year 2000 Problem
-
This paper was part of a term project that I wrote in a Numerical Methods
& Computing class at the University of New Brunswick. I had no idea of the demand and interest
that this paper would generate. I had taken it offline, but after many
continued requests to post the paper, I've decided to put it back online.
Perhaps it will be more relvant as 2038 approaches?
