Don't get too excited. The Beast is a guitar effects distortion pedal I helped design and prototype during my junior year at Calvin College. A friend still had the project files, so I figured, why not post the project on my website? This guitar effects pedal is a simple dual op-amp circuit and actually didn't sound half bad. Head over to the project page for more information.

I just added some information about a project I worked on during my junior year at Calvin College. IRLink is a simple wireless analog transmitter and receiver using infrared light. Unfortunately I don't have any pictures of the finished prototype, but there are a couple of schematics of the transmitter and receiver on the project page. Check it out, IRLink.

I ditched my old website in favor of the Drupal content management system. So far I am really enjoying how simple it is to add content. The installation was highly automated and incredibly simple. Head over to drupal.org and check it out for yourself. I played around with Drupal 6 for a while, but Drupal 7 has some great enhancements that I just couldn't pass up.

I just posted some new content for the TankESC project. Phase 1 is mostly complete.

NathanBrinks.com has been released to the web! Welcome to NathanBrinks.com, my personal website. Check out the projects sections for projects I am working on. There is some content here already and new content will be added from time to time. Anytime new content is added I will let you know on the NathanBrinks.com homepage.

So, browse around, take a look at whats coming up. Let me know if you find any typos. Also, I would love to hear some suggestions of things I could change or new content I could add.
