The LameStation can be thought of as divided into six major sections, that is power, core, serial, audio, control, and display.

  • Power - This prepares and distributes power from the battery or adapter to be consumed by the devices on the board.
  • Core - This is the brain of the LS; the Propeller is the computer on which the LameStation is built.
  • Serial - This is a communication system by which new software can be loaded onto the device.
  • Control - The buttons and joystick that provide all user input.
  • Audio - The system that converts the digital output from the microcontroller to a smooth audio waveform, then amplifies it and drives a speaker or headphones.
  • Display - The entire graphics subsystem up to and including the LCD.

 

Warning

Electronics assembly is like surgery

If you make a mistake, your LamePatient could die. Check twice, and solder once!
