Gordon David Dick

 

Location: Stony Plain, AB, Canada (Stony Plain is suburb of Edmonton, home of the Oilers)

Education: MS, the University of Saskatchewan in Saskatoon, SK, Canada

Occupation: Gordon is semi-retired. He used to be an Electronics Technology and Computer Engineering Technology instructor at the Northern Alberta Institute of Technology in Edmonton.

Member Status: Gordon says he used to have Circuit Cellar issues dating back to 1995. “We were getting issues under the ‘college program’ then,” he explained. Later, his department subscribed to the magazine and the issues came directly to Gordon. Then he obtained a personal subscription. “I still have my paper copies containing my own articles. And we bought the CDs to get all the back issues.”

Technical Interests: Gordon has always been interested in electronics, both as a hobby and as a profession. He focused first on audio, then turned to microcontrollers. He has built a few microcontroller-based instruments, some of which have been the topics of his Circuit Cellar articles. “For a time, I was involved in building microcontroller-based dog training equipment. I built a microcontroller-based weather station, which I also wrote an article about. I have several microcontroller-based projects in my home that are specific to my needs. My cold-room temperature controller is microcontroller-based, for example.”

Most Recent Embedded Tech-Related Acquisition: Gordon bought a SparkFun Electronics FG085 frequency generator kit.

Current Projects: He is working with a Freescale Semiconductor MPL3115 pressure/temperature I2C transducer for his weather station. “It has amazing barometric pressure resolution,” Gordon explained.
