If you want to use an inexpensive ATmega168 or ATmega328p for your project, but you want the simplicity of the arduino code and codebender, this tutorial will guide you through! A brand new ATmega microcontroller does not come preconfigured to use with Arduino code. So to use one of these you normally need a high […]

The Network Time Protocol (NTP) has revolutionized the world. Suddenly one could have anywhere in the world accurate time and date. NTP is a simple UDP based protocol and can be implemented in a Microcontroller. Using the tuxgraphics ethernet board and a LCD display we build a nice clock which gets time and date via

What is a Prototino™? The Prototino™ is an Arduino clone with a built in prototyping area. Designed to make a permanent version of your project once you have perfected it on a breadboard but without the expense of embedding your original Arduino into your project. The Prototino also makes your project more reliable

This is a projected that I finished development on over a year ago and I’m just now getting around to documenting it. I wanted to program Tetris from scratch and make it modular so it could be used with different displays. Right now I know it’s working with a KS0108 graphic LCD screen. I also

The great adventure that is building clocks continues. Points of interest in this build is that it was the first chance I got to play with the dot matrix display I picked up over winter break, and it’s the first time I’ve soldered and used a surface mount package (albeit I soldered it to a

Driving a shift register using an AVR chip’s built-in hardware is really quite easy. Most of their offerings have an SPI module, or Serial Peripheral Interface. A shift register is exactly that, a peripheral device that communicates via a serial line. All we need to do is hook up our connections and use a few

This ATmega168-based project monitors household power usage and logs it to an SD card. Signals from voltage and current detectors amplified LMC6484AIN quad op-amp and then AVR microcontroller computes the power consumption using the formula P=VxI. The voltage and current are each sampled at 9615 Hz so the integration should be fairly accurate even for

This ATmega168-based digital comb filter built to clean a realtime audio signal. It can remove the ubiquitous 60Hz (50Hz in some countries) hum noise caused by power lines and household electrical wiring. Since the noise is not strictly sinusoidal it is necessary to remove all harmonics of 60Hz, and that is what this filter does.
