My Electronics Background

I'm an Electronics Technician, graduated at the "ENET #3 de Avellaneda", and an Electronics Engineer graduated at UTN FRA. (Universidad Tecnologica Nacional, Facultad Regional Avellaneda)

Since I was a kid, I've liked to design and build everything electronics could be useful for, thing I still like. I worked as an R&D technician in the late '80s, designing prototipes for modems and communications stuff. Since then, due to the fact that getting an R&D job was almost impossible in Argentina, I worked part time on my own

As you can read on the music page, I've designed and built my own equipment. Schematics are on paper, but I will try to put them on a readable format sometime. If you are interested in some effect in particular, email me, I can probably help you.

Most of the theory of sound fx was developed on my own during the '80s.

As you can read on my compu-freak page, I've designed and built computer peripherals for TS-2068, Spectrum and Amiga. Most of the schematics are on paper, I'll try to scan 'em. but some of them are available on electronic form, and I'll upload 'em shortly. If you are interested in a schematic, email me.

As a good audiophile, I've been wandering through "aural exciter" stuff, and I've designed and built a sort of alien that suffices. As before, schematics are on paper and I'll try to scan them.

As a microprocessors fan, I've designed a Z-80 based development platform, that allows me to easily access I/O functions as buffered flow controlled serial I/O and buffered flow controlled interrupt driven parallel output, MIDI support, and internal/external synchronization. A small multitasking kernel I wrote allows performing a couple of simultaneous tasks; I've never upgraded it because of the need of a good priorities scheme, and it's not always a must having multitasking (ask a PC ;) If you need anything related to Z-80, I can give you directions, or might be give you some code, just email me.

Times have changed and now designs are smaller and with microcontrollers. My expertise includes the Motorola 68HC08 and 68HC05, the Texas Instruments MSP430 series, AD2181 and many others . I've designed some kernels and ported some old code to these platforms
I won't be updating this page, so check my resume.
