16 bit micro controlers with GCC support and a number of fancy features
A longer story will go to the photo stream.
Let’s assume we get access to the HCI interface of the BT module inside the iPhone.
The software to be used then should be similar to the one talking to another BT module with its HCI interface attached to a PC serial port. This approach should make development more flexible and comfortable.
And here’s the hardware to do so - just click on the photo to get more info.
Get the full info at “Internal” BT for Zaurus.
The existing solutions for adding Bluetooth to a Zaurus C860 do typically stick out of the device and make it somewhat clumsy.

Using 0.3 mm insulated copper wire. I solder to the wire tips at approx. 400 degree Celsius first (that burns the insulation) and at 310 degree Celsius finally.
Not too fast though - needs some patience. Again and again I feel like I need to start working with Eagle / PCBs more often.
Nice to not have to run VMWare or boot a Win system for this purpose any longer. The software is available at PICAXE / software download section.
Tested this successfully with a Keyspan USA-19HS USB-serial adapter.
Used to interface to a Wii Nunchuk via I2C.
Various ways to generate and control noise.
To be continued.
Just used the root filesystem that was populated on an NSLU2 (which is officially supported in the Debian install process).
I found some really great and amazing content - “The fat man and circuit girl show”

They have a dedicated website as well.
Thanks to the very good instructions at BeagleBoardBeginners document I got the board up and running in less than 2 hours.
It has output on a TFT monitor, USB keyboard and mouse and even full Internet connectivity via an USB-2-Ethernet adapter.
I worked with Gumstix, NSLU2 and other small Linux systems before - but now, let’s start with a beagleboard.
Will be part of a wearable computer and drive a HMD finally. I’m therefore especially happy about S-Video out and USB OTG.
