Introduction “The sound and experience of drums… Any time, anywhere, with any object.” -Project Soundbyte It’s Friday night and you’re hanging with your friends at home. There are no parties tonight and you have seen everything on Netflix already – you’re bored out of your minds. One of your friends pulls out his portable roll […]

Introduction “An ultrasonic range-finding hat with variable haptic feedback for obstacle detection.” -Project Sound Bite For our ECE 4760 final project, we designed and implemented an ultrasonic range-finding hat that uses haptic feedback to alert its wearer about obstacles in his or her path. The hat is equipped with an ultrasonic transmitter/receiver circuit, which is […]

Rather than using an out-of-the-box capacitive touch solution for my projects, I thought I’d attempt making my own little breakout board. The idea is to use a sensor capable of triggering normal digital input pins using touch. This post covers the selected touch sensor IC, the circuit used, getting a custom PCB made and how […]

This is the second part of my USB tutorial for ATtiny2313 and V-USB library. In the first part we learned how to get 3.3V from USB to power our circuits. In this part, we will expand our setup with following parts: Larger breadboard and additional jumper wires ATtiny2313 12 MHz crystal oscillator Two 27 pF […]

audiogetavarage is a simple library you can use to interface with an audio input. It reads data from an ADC pin and returns the RMS value of the input simply using rms avarage. The root mean square (abbreviated RMS or rms), also known as the quadratic mean, is a statistical measure of the magnitude of […]

audiogetradix4 is a simple library you can use to interface with a ac audio input. It reads data from an ADC pin and returns the RMS value of the input using DFT Radix-4 algorithm. The discrete Fourier transform (DFT) converts a finite list of equally-spaced samples of a function into the list of coefficients of […]

The TSL235 is a light-to-frequency converter. This library reads TSL235 output frequency and convert it to irradiance, and then to illuminance. Irradiance is the power of electromagnetic radiation per unit area (radiative flux) incident on a surface. It’s expressed in watt per square metre, the symbol is Ee. In photometry, illuminance is the total luminous […]

lcdmenu1 is a simple and small lcd menu builder for AVR Atmega. It works with only 4 buttons (up, down, right, left), additional buttons can be added. It can also store values to eeprom User can use button up and down to list menu categories, right and left to browse child and parent. If an item […]

This project is a dust detector that use the GP2Y1010AU0F sensor. Attached you can also find the GP2Y1010AU0F sensor library for AVR Atmega.GP2Y1010AU0F is a dust sensor by optical sensing system. An infrared emitting diode (IRED) and an phototransistor are diagonally arranged into this device. It detects the reflected light of dust in air. Especially, […]

This project is an update to the previous dehumidifier based you can here: http://davidegironi.blogspot.it/2013/04/avr-atmega-dehumidifier-controller.html This update adds some usefull functions. The main issue that i’ve fixed is the microcontroller crash, that happens sometimes. I’ve noticed that sometimes the controller stop running, crash or doesn’t works as expected. After some experimets, i’ve noticed that probem was due […]
