Navspark UART/USB bridge

I created a program on the Navspark to send characters at 150 microsecond intervals and then received them on a PC. Below is a histogram of how long it took between characters: The red boxes are how long it took for the UART/USB bridge to send one character in

Navspark timer drift, #2

Second run, this time comparing the Navspark's internal CPU clock against the GPS time. Samples of both clocks are taken once per second, and the amount of time that has passed is calculated for both. The ideal CPU clock would be a perfectly horizontal line at 0.000

Navspark timer drift

The Navspark is a microcontroller with a GPS peripheral. It runs the GPS navigation/timing code as a binary-only library, and uses the Arduino IDE/environment. I have custom code printing timestamp markers on the Navspark, and I'm measuring the timestamp of the first byte of each line

ARM-based router

This hardware has problems - see the Problems section [https://blog.dan.drown.org/arm-router-forwarding-rates/] on the follow-up page. I have an arm system with two gige ports that I want to turn into a router that can forward at least 300Mbit/s (with 1500 byte packets). It's

SSD migration

I aquired an SSD in order to extend my "gaming computer"'s lifespan. It's getting pretty old (5 years!) in computer terms, and the hard drive is always very active. My plan was to clone the old drive to the new drive, because I had
