![]() Other areas of study include robotics, microcontroller theory and design, FPGA development with VHDL and Verilog, and image and signal processing with DSPs. Following his previous background in making the Atari 2600 video mod, Parker decided to take more board layout classes and circuit design classes. After realizing electronics was his passion he switched majors in 2007 to Electrical and Computer Engineering. In 2006, Parker enrolled at The University of Texas at Austin as a Petroleum Engineer. Over a thousand Atari video mods where produced by Parker from 2006 to 2011 and the mod is still made by other enthusiasts in the Atari community. The following year he designed and produced an Atari 2600 video mod to allow the Atari to display a crisp, RF fuzz free picture on newer TVs. He got his start in 2005 by hacking Nintendo consoles into portable gaming units. Parker is an Electrical Engineer with backgrounds in Embedded System Design and Digital Signal Processing. Microchip will be boosting the Atmel AVR8 product line later this summer.The ARM founder isn’t to happy about the deal. Parker and Stephen talk about the implications of this purchase. ARM was purchased by SoftBank for $32 Billion.Stephen is now willing to try out the EDA tool. KiCad will be adding built in SPICE simulation to the schematic portion.EFM8 series has tons of built in peripherals. Uses the EFM8SB10F2G in a QFN-20 package. Parker finished programming the new revision of the MacroWatch V2.He would like the software if it didn’t cost $15K. Stephen has been working with Altium this past couple weeks while doing DFM work for customers.He just needs to solder the through hole onto the board. The Macro Amp that Stephen has been working on is almost done. ![]() Stephen has completed the SSPS Analog board.Stephen and Parker rant (again) on bad datasheets, ARM being bought out by SoftBank, and general project updates. ![]()
