4.4BSD UNIX™, the last version to be written at Berkeley UC. Shown here with vintage keyboard and vintage monitor, and 3 microcontrollers to glue it all together.

Back in 1999 an old PC ISA NIC card could be upcycled to produce an PIC embedded webserver. Here's one I made back then. Just powered it up - it still works! The two smaller chips are MAX232 serial level converter and 24FC256 EEPROM to store the web pages.

Trying out the new PIC18F27Q43 micro-controller, with its enhanced peripherals and features. Though currently it can only be programmed and debugged using a PICkit4 or ICD4, earlier programmers are sadly not supported.

My homebrew digital VSWR and power meter. The display board shown here houses the LCD display and buttons for the user interface. The PIC is running code written in the C programming language. Thank you K&R.

My homebrew digital VSWR and power meter, shown here while under development. It has a 90dB range, measures from uW to kW. Thank you Microchip and Analog Devices.

Home designed GPS disciplined oscillator now done and dusted. The blue LED on the front panel indicates a DGPS fix. Outputting a locked 8MHz into the frequency counter. I certainly recommend u-blox NEO-M8P GPS modules!

GPS disciplined oscillator taken off yesterday's breadboard and on to stripboard (veroboard). Front panel and mainboard ready to be housed in its awaiting instrument enclosure.

My GPS disciplined oscillator during prototyping. Uses #ublox and #pic18 microcontroller, and a phase-locked-loop to give a rock steady 10MHz output. Plug in USB to work with u-center app. Firmware written in C++.
