Hello, I'm Rick ! born in '88
FaceBook

What I studied :

• • Math (EPFL for 1 year)
  • Computer Science (EPFL for 3 years)

What I'm studying now :

• • (Practical) Electronics (ETML ongoing)

What I will study in the future :

• • Some more computer science and electronics

What I like :

• • My girlfriend
  • Stuff related to Math (= the whole Universe + all imaginable universes)
  • Electronics (and Computer Science)
  • The Go Game
  • VideoGames
  • Music
  • & many other things...

What I'm doing :

• • Collecting videogames
  • Repairing stuff (electronics)
  • Making things (circuits and programming)
  • I work as a freelance now
  • Playing Go (Tournaments and Teaching)

Ongoing Projects :

• • Moving out of my actual appartment ! (I will move twice this summer so my projects won't be my number one priority) Done !
  • Creating my own electronic development&repair company (It will be there before the end of the year so my projects won't be my number one priority)
  • PC2JAMMA (Ongoing... will be finished shortly) Done !
  • Cocktail Arcade Table Restoration (CRT needs to be repaired, the rest is details) Donkey Kong Jr I Bought it for 1 CHF !!! WOW !!! Done !
  • Making my own arcade PCB (a recent one like the CAVE CV1000 would be great ! or something based on a 68k, edit: this will surely be ARM based + FPGA)
  • This summer + year to come : Programming : a Danmaku (manic shooter, bullet hell) on iOS or XboxLive (will be a Heroic Fantasy Magic Punk Danmaku, like ESP Ra De with a D&D setting)
  • Soon : RFID Door-Lock
  • Atari Lynx II repair (to do: get sound, everything else is done) Done !
  • CF based SNES cart (to do: almost everything, choose FPGA or uC, make PCB, use Voltage-Translators, programming, making a little OS, design the cart etc... done : familiarize with CF & SNES specs, block schematics)

What I may be able teach : (mostly basic stuff but useful stuff)

• • Nothing for the moment, I don't have the time nor any money
  • Basic computer stuff
  • Electronics (analog and digital)
  • Acceptability in electronics (when it's OK and when it's KO)
  • Soldering & Desoldering (tips and tricks)
  • How to use Lab-boards, repair & modify PCBs
  • Understanding schematics and analyzing them (mostly digital circuits)
  • How to make documentation and schematics
  • How to do things in a good way (practical electronics)
  • How to read Data Sheets
  • How to use a DSO (Digital Sampling Oscilloscope)
  • How to and how not to measure in electronics (The dos and don'ts with a multimeter)
  • AMA about electronics there may be a 0.01% chance I know :)
  • Using RPN calculators (even using Curta Mechanical Calculators)
  • How to play Go (not how to make a Go AI. Sorry...)

What I want to learn :

• • Many many things... ain't got enough time...
  • A good ASM book (not HLA ! I won't read "the art of assembly programming" !) Finally a reference book is enough
  • 68000 ASM if anyone knows a good book (I do possess the 68030 (including 68020) reference manual...)
  • ARM (for ARMv6)
  • Making my own PCBs easily (work in progress)

What I'm looking for :

• • Having Fun (of course...)
  • Fluke Multimeter (8x series or 17x series) got a Fluke 87V
  • DC Power Supply (something like 0-30V, 0-2A)
  • Wire Wrap tools
  • Dev Boards (any CPU or MCU but mostly RISC)
  • USB Jtag programmers (I need an AVR one like JTAG ICE MKII)
  • USB to ISP
  • JAMMA fingerboards (56 contacts (2x28) 1.57" Spacing)
  • 27Cxxx (mostly 27c801) UV or OTP EPROMS (and a couple 27c1024)
  • (big capacity) EPROM Eraser
  • 2032 batteries (for less than 0.5chf)
  • Anything videogame related
  • RPN calculators
