Embedded RSS

Parsing RSS on an 8-bit Micro
One of the most common questions asked of my Embedded RSS Reader is how to process the XML data of an RSS feed on the 8-bit microprocessor. In a conventional application, it is trivial to use an XML library to parse the data into a tree-like structure. In PHP5, for instance, you could simply write: [...]

A Better Real-time Library for Arduino
For my project I required a simple timer library for the Arduino development environment, something with a simple-but-powerful interface to schedule tasks to complete in the future or at regular intervals. There doesn’t really seem to be anything suitable online – a host of over-complicated APIs that use several classes, structs and rely heavily on [...]
Another Step Forward
I now have all the component parts in place for my Embedded RSS reader, Ethernet, TCP and the liquid crystal display (who knew the pin-out was backwards?). The software is almost complete too, just a morning of integration and a little testing then there should be something to post here in the form of a [...]
AVR Development on the Arduino
I have just started using an Arduino for my project. I hadn’t considered it as a platform before, but I am starting to love it for rapid development. It is so usable – no loose wiring to connect up programmers or power supplies – it’s all integrated into a single unit. I very nearly have [...]
