Marimokkori doll, something like a mascot for Hokkaido?

We saw it all over the place while we were in Hokkaido, never knowing what it was exactly... Especially the "mound." Apparently Marimokkori is a green algae cluster?

We were all suprised when we found out you could pull the "mound" and he vibrates and giggles.

Our final project for CMPEN352w. Motion sensing Tetris on a PIC 18F4520... Tiltris.

We originally wanted to use to MUXes to control the rows and columns of the LED matrix. Also, we were going to use an RTOS (Real Time Operating System) approach but that was shot down... Easily changed back to a normal sequential program.

The accelerometer is not the best around, and I need to play a little bit more with the values so its not too sensitive. The Y-axis is used to move the block side to side, the X-axis is not soldered correctly (better than my board ;( ) and the Z-axis is used for rotation. I'm not sure if you can hear it but to rotate the blocks I tap the back of my breadboard.

A simple program that uses the pulse width multiplier on timer2 of the PIC18F4520. (With assistance of a DAC)

Using interrupts and assigning various points of a sin wave to an array. it was relatively easy. Then using the joystick you could select between: my attempt of the Victory theme from Final Fantasy VI (felt it was appropriate) my attempt at the Bicycle Ride music from Pokemon Yellow, Red, and Blue (nostalgia FTW) lastly you could simply play an octave

The speaker is pretty crappy so it doesn't sound too good, I should have given the Peizo speaker a shot. It was pretty hard to hand solder the new resistor into the DAC since it is so small and I did such a good job of using as little solder paste as possible so I had to heat up the whole pad before removing the old one.

What will bonejaw come up with next?!

Let Bonejaw know what he needs to do by dropping him a line like it's hot.

I play "Hot For Teacher" on guitar in order to let METAL be popular
