I have seen plenty of Instructables showing how to work with microprocessors, but they all assume that you have worked with them before and know what you are doing. I have not seen an Instructable that takes you from nothing and builds on each step. What we will do here is to start with a […]

This instructable is a crash course in how to use some of the features of the Dragon Rider 500 from Ecros Technologies. Please be aware that there is a very detailed User’s Guide available on the Ecros website. The Dragon Rider is a interface board for use with an AVR microcontroller programmer called the AVR

If you like to play around with micro controllers you know this hustle: You want to test a part of a program and first you need to completely wire up the uC on the bread board. Not with these handy parts any more! These are complete programmable micro controllers that could be stuck to any

* you’ve got your arduino with atmega168 and you bought an atmega328 at you local electronics store. It doesn’t have an arduino bootloader * you want to make a project that doesn’t use arduino – just a regular AVR chip (like the USBTinyISP) – you have a clean attiny2313/attiny48 etc that you want to burn

This instructable was inspired by my first AVR microcontroller project that I’ve been working on for some time now. I wanted to start learning more about the AVR microcontroller and see how much I could do with the minimum amount of hardware… no extra chips, simple components, etc… just my AVR and my code so

If you are just getting into microcontrollers there’s alot to know as you have likely found out. There’s alot of good online tutorials for the Atmel AVR’s and chances are you have see a few of those by now. I recently got into microcontrollers and didn’t know jack about it. I wanted to have some

Lets start off by saying that I am a noob to micro controllers like Arduino. After looking through instructables for a while I saw the things that arduino could do. That is when I realized that I had to get one and learn the whole process of programming. So having said that I will now

Intro: My Nikon DSLR has an infrared remote function (remote sold separately) that is really handy, but fairly limited in range. A while ago, I bought a TV-B-Gone Kit from it’s inventor Mitch Altman, and it can turn TV’s off from a great distance. I thought, “Hey, this thing is open source! I can hack

My last visit to the dentist convinced me that I should really brush my teeth at least two minutes. I decided to build a special toothbrush timer: it would detect when a brush is taken out, measure two minutes and notify when the time is up. I chose to use Atmega328p, a weight sensor, brass cups,
