Reading Switches with using Attiny microcontrollers

Leave a Comment / AVR ATmega Projects, Other Projects /

There have been several Instructables dealing with outputs from the ATtiny2313 and similar AVR devices. For example, http://www.instructables.com/id/Ghetto-Programming%3a-Getting-started-with-AVR-micro/, http://www.instructables.com/id/Drive-a-Stepper-Motor-with-an-AVR-Microprocessor/. Working on the latest one from The Real Elliot, which showed how to control stepper motors, I found that it would be really helpful to be able to run alternate sections of code in the same […]

Halloween Robot using Attiny microcontrollers

Leave a Comment / AVR ATmega Projects, Robotics - Automation Projects /

Halloween Robot controlled by an old wingman joystick. I don’t reccommend this for beginners with electronics only because some things like joysticks and power adapters are not all the same and must be modified. Additionally I provide programming code which will only be useful for particular stepper motors without modification. **This is still unfinished, but

ISP Breadboard Header using AVR microcontrollers

Leave a Comment / AVR ATmega Projects, Interfacing(USB - RS232 - I2c -ISP) Projects /

When I was first working with AVR microcontrollers, I relied a lot on tutorials I found on the web, but nearly all of them raised the question of how to attach a programmer to the microcontroller when you aren’t using a development board. Most of the time, I would see people shoving pieces of wire into the

Atmega8 measures ambient temperature and relative humidity using HSM-20G sensor

Leave a Comment / AVR ATmega Projects, Temperature Measurement Projects /

In one of my previous posts, I discussed about Sensirion’s SHT11 and SHT75 sensors, which are capable of measuring both temperature and relative humidity. They are digital sensors and provide fully calibrated digital outputs for temperature and relative humidity. I also illustrated how to interface those sensors with a PIC microcontroller. Shawon Shahryiar from Dhaka, Bangladesh shared this project

Have you played with Arduino’s and now have a taste for microcontrollers? Have you tried to go beyond Arduino but got stopped by the dense datasheets? This is the instructable for you! I was working on an instructable for the epilog contest which would wirelessly link two smoke alarms. I wrote all the code and

Building a digital light meter with a calibrated LDR using Atmega8 microcontroller

Leave a Comment / AVR ATmega Projects, Metering - Instrument Projects /

Measurement of light intensity is a prime necessity in several occasions.  The diversity of such needs make their way to various branches of physics and engineering as well as in media. For instance, in engineering, such kinds of measurements are needed to design optimum lighting conditions of a room. In photography, light intensity measurements ensure

Intelligent temperature monitoring and control system using AVR microcontroller

Leave a Comment / AVR ATmega Projects, Temperature Measurement Projects /

Controlling temperature has been a prime objective in various applications including refrigerators, air conditioners, air coolers, heaters, industrial temperature conditioning and so on. Temperature controllers vary in their complexities and algorithms. Some of these use simple control techniques like simple on-off control while others use complex Proportional Integral Derivative (PID) or fuzzy logic algorithms. In
