Good ole’ 8051

DIY 8051 SBC 3 Comments »

So I am back with my urge to do something on the hardware side, while being the regular expert in software, micro-controllers are the way to go. So I have some coding involved and less wires and components to debug in a different way ;) this board just works, and the LED shows that it really does :p A lot more to come in this category though.

Microcontroller Projects

I have returned to the workbench after a long time in 2004. Apart from a game-port custom
controller my last work was in the labs for logic design, microprocessor interfacing,
and microprocessor architecture.
My major is computers so the masters degree is going pretty uneventfull, specially when
I have a specialization “Software Engineering”.
Anyways I dived in starting with the famous 8051 microcontroller with a couple of variants
and after the initial testing phase, I am now ready to go to unchanted waters.

TODOs and Ideas:

* A microkernel operating system for 8051 family to ease my application development

* Phone logger, to keep track of complete land line log like mobile phones
and apply provider rules to calculate monthly bills

* Car tracking and utility system (variation of car pc for extremely low power requirements)

* Serial to LAN hardware which can be used to connect a serial modem to a router (wireless)

* Home automation system with support for infra-red remote (with possibility of bluetooth)
