Instruments I’ve made from 2014 to 2019 (two chanter types – to some degree liberal replicas of the two chanters found in Museum of White Carniola in Metlika): Walnut, cherry…

Preprost PLC krmilnik na osnovi okolja Arduino (2010)
My bachelor’s thesis from 2010, describing a prototype of a simple Programmable Logic Controller and the corresponding graphical programming environment, implemented with Arduino development framework and a compatible microcontroller board.
Razmišljanja k rekonstrukciji glasbil iz Belokranjskega muzeja – pol desetletja kasneje
Dva starinska napeva iz Bele krajine
V kontekstu rekonstrukcije glasbil iz muzeja in iskanja spremljajočega arhaičnega glasbenega izraza Bele krajine, podajam dve starinski pesmi, ki sodita v starejšo plast belokranjske glasbene estetetike. Prva je znana Tri jetrve,…
Istrian mih bagpipe chanter
An Istrian mih chanter. From a rough wooden blank to its final shape. Made in 2013.
Bagpipe of Northern Čičarija (plum and cherry wood)
A reconstruction of a “mih” bagpipe of village Golac, based on a preserved chanter fragment, displayed in the Slovene Ethnographic Museum. The instrument is essentially a slightly distinct type of…
Sorbus aria
Years ago I played with a spalted log of a whitebeam tree (Sorbus aria). Not so impressive wood by its hardness, but visually appealing.
“Belokranjske dude” – rekonstrukcija glasbil iz Metliškega muzeja
V letu 2014 sta bili na pobudo KUD Oton Župančič iz Vinice po sto letih premora izdelani repliki glasbil iz muzeja. Čeprav se zvočni zapisi igranja, ki bi jih zanesljivo lahko povezali z glasbiloma iz muzeja, niso ohranili, hrani Glasbenonarodnopisni inštitut nekatere posnetke igranja na piščali dvojnice in primere petja, ...
White Carniolan diple chanter (walnut and limewood)
A White Carniolan (Bela krajina, Slovenija) diple chanter made of lime wood I made in 2014. The wood is not much impressive by itself. But it does turn out pretty…
Tying a bagpipe bag in one-two-three
Here are some pictures of a mih bagpipe I’ve made years ago. After finishing the wooden parts comes the assembling part. Images tell more than a thousands of words.
Updates on the “Arduino PLC”
Several people have contacted me regarding the “Teensy++ PLC”, either with the idea of extending it, or porting it to other microcontroller architectures, or developing it further as a true…
IDE update
After some joyful time I’ve had playing with GUI concepts and visuals, I threw that initial code away and started doing it the right way. At the time being, I…
A “better” IDE for Arduino
That’s my new project I’ve been working on for some past weekends and afternoons. Yes, there are some similar projects that have already been started. And yes, there are some…
Programmable Logic Controller – initial sources release
Finally, here are the sources I was talking about for so long! This project page wouldn’t be complete without it, would it? The zip file below contains complete sources of…
How much AVR resources does your little program occupy?
If you’ve ever played with WinAVR, you have probably noticed the pretty resource usage info printed after each compile. You may miss that candy if you compile with GCC on…
Teensy++ (AVR) PLC controller – version 1
Here it is! The AT90USB646-based homebrew programmable logic controller. It’s not quite a Simatic S7 (and it’s not even completed in most parts), but it’s a nice start. A more…
That PLC thing…
Ehm… that PLC. What’s new? O.k. I canceled the ST compiler part. Not that I don’t like the idea of doing it, I just don’t have the time. So here…
Changing device names of NIC adapters
Ubuntu Server (and others) If you play a lot with servers or networked PCs with multiple NICs and change and switch network cards often, you sooner or later end up…
The PLC update
After looking at the Beremiz iec2c compiler source, I decided that modifying it to fit into this project is probably not the way to go. At this time, I’m deep…
SSH service availability using Upstart
Platform: Ubuntu Server When we access a machine remotely over SSH, we sure do not want its daemon to crash and leave us without the means to access the system.…
