Hi, I’m Chris!

I’m an engineer for power-electronics at the University of Kassel. Do you enjoy tinkering with electronics, microcontrollers or FPGAs like I do? Then you might find something of interest on these pages. 🙂

Replacing Viessmann oil-heater with DIY Arduino-Controller

Spare parts for Viessmann-controls are quite expensive. As the control of our oil-heater has broken down, I searched for a

Recycling of old ThermoMix-Reluctance-Motor

Disposing of defective appliances is common practice and repairing them is often uneconomical. However, there are often still very useful

Developing Retro-Softwares for OS/2 using Sibyl

In the last blog-post I discussed developing retro-apps for Windows that can be run under OS/2 using the WLO toolset

Developing Retro-GUI for Win3.11 (Delphi 1) and OS/2 (Visual C++)

Retrocomputing with real hardware is a very nice way to understand how modern computers have learned to run and talk.

FPGA-based Audio-over-IP

Ethernet on Microcontrollers is available without problems: using FreeRTOS or the Arduino-libs is always a good start. But for FPGAs?

FPGA-Audiomixer: IIR-filter for EQs

Without the possibility to adjust the volume of individual frequency bands within an audio signal, modern audio would not sound
