Mar 10 97 Some new stuff added; look for the funny icons.

Feb 22 97 I've added a link to the EE Circuits Archive (at washington.edu) that someone forwarded to me; I haven't burrowed too deeply, but from what I saw, there's a lot of sample circuits there. Also, I misattributed Filip G.'s contributions; he was a regular poster on the old newsgroup sci.electronics (now split).

Note: The person named Filip mentioned here does not refer to your head TA, but to Filip M. Gieszczykiewicz, a well-known contributor to the old sci.electronics newsgroup (now split in the news hierarchy). Don't worry, I can't pronounce his last name either.

General (Chips, etc.):

• ChipDir -- Excellent list of chips; take a look especially at their functionally-sorted list.
• Filip's FAQ Links -- Good collection of FAQs for many electronics topics.
• sci.electronics FAQ -- FAQ for the sci.electronics newsgroup. Some good info, but not enough project related stuff.
• EE Circuit Archive -- Lots of circuit examples
• Mark Sokos' Home Page -- PC interfacing guru

LCD

• LCD FAQ -- Great description of character-based LCD modules; says nothing about graphics types.
• LCD Menu -- Filip's jumppoint to a ton of LCD FAQs.
• LCD Lab -- Lab on LCD interfacing at UIUC

MIDI

• MIDI Resources
• MIDI FAQ

Cameras

• mars-cam.com -- Digital Camera Stuff

Telephone

Other

Take a look at the alt.comp.hardware.homebuilt newsgroup if you have time/interest, but be warned; there's some good signal here mixed in with lots and lots of noise.
