The instruction manual for each of the MANY munchkin series of card games always includes a phrase like “you will need a 10 sided die for each player or some other device to keep score.” 10 sided dice are not hard to find in my house, but I took this as a challenge to make […]

Dice are fun. Polyhedral dice used in D & D are even more fun, particularly in big handfuls of different sizes. But a handful isn’t always practical. Ever since I saw the dragon bone electronic die wand advertised in the back pages of Dragon magazine when I was a kid, I wanted an electronic device

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

Using the fact that many microcontroller pins have three states (+V, GND, or “high impedence”). You can drive N*(N-1) LEDs from N pins. So the little 8 pin microcontroller like a PIC12Fxxx or an ATtiny11 can drive 20 LEDs on its five available output pins, and still have one pin left for some kind of

This project gives you a digital voltmeter which can measure voltage from 0v to 25V DC. The values are displayed over the 7segment display. Atmega8 is used and the internal ADC is used to measure the DC voltage. The resistor network is used to reduce the input voltage to the 0-5v. Photo For more Detail:

The 4×4 LED Display was my first project with a two-layer circuitboard layout. The alignment was not 100% optimal, but sufficent. I wanted to make the board as small as possible, so the parts had to be stacked at some places. The square LED’s were painted black on the sides to keep the pixels sharp.
Aim of this project is to present a way to store a large quantity of data into microSD card in files with FAT32 format. Here, ATmega32 is used for data collection and microSD interface. The data is received from in-build 8-channel ADC of ATmega32. One channel is used for reading temperature from LM35 sensor and
