As you can see, the Maximite Computer doesn't look a whole lot different than the way a Apple Mac Mini does except its far less powerful but can also be so much more fun to use. The fact that you can just plug in Arduino shields is something even a Mac can't do. I hope to have some examples of Maximite programs running my CHIPINO shields soon. When that code is ready it will be posted here and also on the new Maximite Computer website.
I often have so many little projects I'm working on that I get confused on what I should write about, what I already wrote about and what anybody may care about. I hope I'm getting the last one right more than once in a while. The latest thing I've been working on is getting the Maximite Computer ready for resale. By that I mean a website dedicated to support and a proven design ready to be used. I had to make a couple more tweaks to the box and I'm gonna replace the silver screws with black ones to make it more stealth like. I've also tested it on many different monitors but the last step is to get the speakers working. I just need to solder up the audio connector and then test it with the speakers you see in the picture above. It should work but I want to test it.

About ChuckChuck has been programming with PIC Microcontrollers since there were only five devices. Now there are over 700 and growing. He also has a lot of fun 3D printing designs using his Davinci 3D printer and TinkerCad software. In this series of blog posts and occasional videos on his YouTube Channel he tries to help you get started with electronics and 3D printing. Disclaimer |
