Projects Index

Below is an overview index of all projects available from zws.com. Please note that the icons in the "Supported Platforms" column indicate platforms with which the corresponding product has been tested; this does not necessarily imply the existence of a specific version for the indicated platform. For example, most DOS programs will work in OS/2.

Important: Unless specifically indicated on a product page, I do not sell or support these projects. I provide information on how to build them solely for the convenience and interest of the hobbyist.

Product	Supported Platforms
Polyceph Mk.I A useful development and prototyping platform for AVR, MSP430 and 8051. This board is referenced in my fourth engineering book.	ATmega (various), MSP430, 8051
DOSFS Embedded FAT12/16/32 Filesystem in C Sourcecode and documentation for a DOS-compatible FAT12/16/32 filesystem, aimed at midrange 8-bit embedded applications.	Any embedded system with ~1K RAM and ~4K ROM.
EPROMr 1.0 EPROM Reader - DEVELOPMENT DISCONTINUED An EPROM reader project for beginner electronics hobbyists; you can download hardware assembly instructions and free control software for DOS. The hardware design is adaptable for most computers with a parallel I/O capability (e.g. PC, Commodore Amiga, Atari ST, etc.)
EPROMr 2.x EPROM Burner - DEVELOPMENT DISCONTINUED An EPROM reader/burner project for electronics hobbyists; you can download hardware assembly instructions and free control software for DOS. The hardware design is adaptable for most computers with a parallel I/O capability (e.g. PC, Commodore Amiga, Atari ST, etc.)
EPROMr 3.x Intelligent Serial-Controlled EPROM/EEPROM Burner - DEVELOPMENT DISCONTINUED EPROMr 3.x was intended as the successor product to EPROMr 2.x. It is a more advanced serial-controlled burner.
Nidificate Embedded Archiver Utility This product is a freeware file-conversion and archiving tool, part of a forthcoming free embedded GUI suite of programs. Includes all sourcecode, as well as precompiled Win32 binaries for the host-side tool.	N/A
LectraRef A handy electronic book of IC and connector pinouts. LectraRef is an incredibly useful reference to have on your pocket computer if you're an electronic engineer or service technician.
Picxie A simple project for beginners interested in learning about the PICmicro PIC16C84, Picxie is a 4x4 LED billboard project with some interesting preprogrammed animations. Originally designed for an illuminated Christmas card, the applications for this kit are numerous.	N/A
Picxie 2 Picxie 2 is a logical extension to Picxie, and offers an 8x8 programmable LED matrix. Supplied code implements a bouncing-ball sprite (the kernel to a future game), overscanning, and smooth scrolling among other effects. Although the Picxie 2 circuit is very simple, building it requires good mechanical skills (and patience!), so this should be considered a project of intermediate difficulty.	N/A
Re39 Re39 is an interactive disassembler for Rockwell C29/C39 code. These enhanced-6502 microcontrollers are used as supervisors in a large number of modems; with Re39 you can examine the supervisor firmware for such modems. The user interface of this product is styled after the 6510 debug/hacking cartridges once sold for the Commodore 64 and similar micros.
