About the website

This is my little place about computer and electronics technology. I created this website to host all of my projects. All of them focuse on:

  • Educational embedded platform
  • USB technology
  • Audio & Video
  • Realtime embedded operating system
  • Wireless & Network
  • Programmable logical device
  • Simulator & Virtual Machine

The programming language is C and Assembly. The major hardware equipments I am using include:

  • MCS51 (AT89S, P89LPC, CH55x)
  • Microchip 16bit (dsPIC33, PIC24)
  • ARM Cortex-M and -A (STM32, LPC43xx, Allwinner V3s)
  • Xtensa (ESP8266, ESP32)
  • Xilinx FPGA (XC6SLX9)

Some of the chips are made in China and some of the boards are designed by myself. I am trying to make all of these to be praticable. That means all of these projects are open source and I will chose a suitable licence for them. In addition, I will provide some kits in the future to help you build them by yourself.

About me

I was a computer engineer from China. My name is Zach Lee, it is my chosen name when I immigrated to Canada. I became a radio amateur when I was 12 years old. My first production was a tiny radio with two transistors. (It's not designed by me. I just made it.)

When I was 16, I bought my first personal computer, an IBM compatible PC with a NEC V20 cpu and 640KB memory. I learnt BASIC language at the beginning and start to study assembly language after a year. My first assembly program was used to active the CGA mode of my MDA video card, then I could play some games on my monochrome monitor. The first game I played is DIGGER.

I got these pictures from https://www.digger.org/animate.gif and https://www.myabandonware.com

I studied Mechatronic Engineering at Beijing University of Technology. My former employer, FEITIAN Technologies Co., is a good enterpress who provides IT security production to protect the online banking services. At this company, my major work is designing the software embedded into the security chip and smartcard. In 2014, I immigrated to Canada with my family. Today I am living in Victoria BC. The beautiful city gives me a peaceful environment, making me focus on the works I have been dreaming to do:

  • To help kids enter and enjoy the electronics and computer world.

Thank you for your help

Because I am a Chinese, the English is not my first language. If you find any error on this website about vocabulary or grammar, please tell me where it is and how to correct the mistake. My email is zach.reanimator@gmail.com. I apprecite all things you do to support my adventure in this new land.
