Industrial Automation for 24 years, and am currently working with generator controls, field excitation, and protective relays.\u00a0 \u00a0I do expect to have some posts that show how to integrate our circuitry with industrial processors.\u00a0 Particularly, this will be over Serial, Modbus, or Ethernet.<\/p><div id=\"bryce-395192645\" class=\"bryce-afterfirst bryce-entity-placement\"><script async

\n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n<p>Basically, in the early days of electronics, almost all logic had to be performed at the board level, which made circuitry very complex. \u00a0With newer programmable IC&#8217;s, most of the logic can be done through programming.\u00a0 This decreases the amount of components required on a PCB board for any task. \u00a0 In the last few years, I&#8217;ve become more interested in these basic electronic components.\u00a0 \u00a0Obviously we can use them to build, and integrate almost anything we can imagine.<\/p>\n<h2>Projects<\/h2>\n<p>I will continue to write about projects I&#8217;m working on. \u00a0These might not all be projects with the Arduino platform. \u00a0 Some of the posts will be simplified to the component level to help us all understand how the individual components are working in a circuit, so we can understand how they fit into our vision of larger projects. \u00a0For example: \u00a0The Atmega 328 processor alone has a very limited amount of I\/O, but when we understand and\u00a0use it with shift registers or I\/O expanders, our capabilities can quickly become limitless.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve put this website together as a resource to share with those who have similar interests. \u00a0 Feel free to make suggestions for future posts, and to comment on any post that is already written on this site. \u00a0 Every document can be improved upon, and clarified. \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Please enjoy the website, and feel free to ask questions. \u00a0 If I don&#8217;t know the answers, hopefully I can refer you to a resource
