Ghetto Programming: Getting started with AVR microprocessors on the cheap.

Microprocessors are so cheap these days. If only there were a way to program them up just as cheaply… *wavy dream-sequence lines* In this instructable, find out how to build up a complete AVR microprocessor toolchain: compiler, programmer software, programmer hardware, and some simple demos to get your feet wet. From there, it’s just a […]

Servo Controlled Labyrinth using Microcontroller ATmega32

Do you know this classic wooden labyrinth game with two knobs for X and Y rotation? So, I’ve decided to modify one by connecting two standard servos to the knobs and let a microcontroller (ATmega32) play the game. Credits: – To CarlS www.instructables.com/id/Servo-Controlled-Marble-Maze/ for inspiration. – To the AVR freaks www.avrfreaks.net especially Dean (aka abcminiuser)

Color Changing Digital PC Fan Controller using Microcontroller ATMega168

We’ve all seen LED fans that you can put in your computer to make it look cool.  They usually come in blue, sometimes red or green and consist of a basic PC fan with 4 bright LED’s mounted in the 4 corners.  They source their voltage from the fan’s power input, so if you’re using

Atmel Xmega USB/Serial Arbitrary Waveform Generator

This instructable walks you through programming and using the Boston Android Xmega evaluation board to work as a simple arbitrary waveform generator taking advantage of the integrated 12bit DAC and high speed DMA controller. I have provided precompiled firmware as well as source code which can be loaded onto the device and configured via a

Infrared Proximity Sensing Coffee Table Module & Color Changing Glowing Faucet using Microcontroller ATMEGA48

This is merely an instructable to explain how this device operates. I hope everything is not too obfuscated. This prototype consists of three 8×8” modules. Each module operates independently of each other. Each module consists of 4 “pixels”. Each pixel is 4 inches square and consists of 21 LEDs, two IR emitting diodes, and two

Make a 8×10 L.E.D Matrix using the Arduino and 4017 decade counter

Make a 8×10 L.E.D Matrix using the Arduino and 4017 decade counter

In this instructable I will show you how to build a quite fancy 8 by 10 L.E.D matrix(with scrolling text and animations) using the Arduino and 4017 decade counter. This type of matrix is easy to make and program and it is a good way learn how to multiplex. I have added another part to

LED Binary Calculator using Microcontroller ATtiny2313

LED Binary Calculator using Microcontroller ATtiny2313

You can’t calculate binary values “as is” on most handheld calculators and using the windows one is just a pain, so i decided to make my very own (binary only) calculator. This calculator supports all the basic functions like : NOT,OR,AND,XOR, addition,subtraction,multiplication,division and modulo. So join me as we are going to enter the world of ones and zeros
