		<title>Y-axis for CNC Machine</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve mostly completed the y-axis now.  Just got to do the x-axis and attach a tool and then a few touch ups.

I used the motor control and optical encoder stuff from my plotter to control it for the video.

		<title>Z-Axis for CNC Machine</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m in the process of making a CNC machine out of aluminium. The finished machine should be able to work with a 400&#215;400x60mm volume, I&#8217;m making it small because aluminium is very flexible and I not sure if I&#8217;ll be making anything much bigger than that. I&#8217;ve almost finished the z-axis mechanism. It uses a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Printer to Plotter Conversion</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
This is my latest project. Converting a broken Brother MFC-425CN into a small plotter. I used the paper feed mechanism and the printer head with the optical encoders and stripped everything else out of the printer. There are a lot of gears and stuff that are used for cleaning the print heads and pumping away [...]]]></description>

		<title>Hardware Random Number Generator with 18F2550</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is a hardware rng I made over the weekend. It uses my PSU based power supply for the 12v and -5v and USB for 5v.
It&#8217;s based on http://robseward.com/misc/RNG2/. The voltage is read using the ADC on a 18F2550 and the bits of the voltage are XORed together to create a single random bit. Von [...]]]></description>

		<title>18f4550 and 18f2550 with Piklab and Ubuntu</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been trying to compile some usb examples for my little 18F2550 micro-controller for the last few days and now I&#8217;ve finally got it working. Here&#8217;s a few things to watch out for.
Don&#8217;t try and port mcc18 code to hitech&#8217;s pic18 compiler. I tried without any success even trying to use examples other people had [...]]]></description>

		<title>Power Supply</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Ok, first post of the year. That&#8217;s pretty bad, nevermind. Just posting my latest endevours.
Here&#8217;s a pic demonstrating it working. A 300w power supply being used to light an LED  
It really isn&#8217;t that difficult. I followed the guide to make it here:

		<title>Lunchbot II</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I made my first microcontroller based robot over the weekend. It is far from finished. But it can drive around randomly. Getting something to move randomly was harder than it should have been. I realised overnight that I don&#8217;t actually need a random number generator if I want it to appear to move randomly. I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Apple &quot;Tart&quot;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I thought apple tart was apples on pastry with something sticky like egg to hold it all together. This recipe is a bit different. It&#8217;s more like apples cooked in soft dough. I made a few adjustments. The reason why I made it was to use up some apples so I didn&#8217;t use the canned [...]]]></description>

		<title>LOLCode</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So I found an interesting competition yesterday. Write a program in LOLCode to find square roots. I&#8217;ve never heard of this programming language before. It looks like the sort of programming language I would write. It&#8217;s kinda fun to play with. Although I do have a headache now. I wrote a small program to find [...]]]></description>

		<title>Blueberry apple muffins</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been undertaking some more cooking adventures and the resulting muffins deserve a photo. I can&#8217;t say the same about my blueberry, apple and custard pie, but I think I&#8217;ll include a photo of it anyway. I used this recipe with a diced apple added and some blueberries subtracted. I only added the sugary topping [...]]]></description>
