it is very difficult to bootload Atmega chips when you don’t have proper knowledge about device signature ! each chips are associated with its own Signature.at the beginning I found very difficult in uploading bootloader file to Atmega 328pu and Atmega 328p-pu , although their are many different methods are already available in Internet ,it […]

Clock is one of the most essential house hold things. There are various types of clocks like good old Pendulum clocks, Analog clocks and the now trending modern Digital clocks. Digital clocks has many advantages over the analog clocks like the Accuracy in time, easy reading of time when compared to analog, visibility even in […]

There was a thread on the Raspberry Pi forums about running a 16×2 HD44780 based display off the ATmega chip on the Gertboard.  I normally use a shift register to run my display, so I wasn’t much help to them.  I decided to try and get it setup without the shift register to help out […]

Atmega fusebit doctor, as name says it, device for repairing dead Atmega and Attiny family AVRs by writing fabric fusebits. Most common mistakes or problems are a wrong clock source (CKSEL fusebits), disabled SPI programming (SPIEN fuse) or disabled reset pin (RSTDISBL fuse). This simple and cheap circuit will fix you uC in a fraction […]

In the Internet of Things movement, people across the globe are connecting their stuff – TVs, pets, even houseplants – to the internet and transmitting all sorts of data. If you’re going to be a part of that movement, or want to dabble in creative prototyping on a budget, it’s important to get to know […]

After I wrote several articles about using ATmega microcontrollers (DIP40) in Arduino environment I had some feedback that I was asked how to be effectively put into operation this project. As I came into the Arduino world from classical microcontrollers development world, I have not found necessary to elaborate a method or hardware project for […]

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 […]

Hi everyone! This is my first instructable! After reading hundreds of instructables, I decided to make one myself. Clock is one of the most essential house hold things. There are various types of clocks like good old Pendulum clocks, Analog clocks and the now trending modern Digital clocks. Digital clocks has many advantages over the […]

First, rise and shine, let me introduce you to my project. I’ve crafted an Alarm clock with extended functionality, including a thermometer and a humidity meter. Everything started when my friend (who used to bring me some old electronic rubbish and I used to check if there’s not something useful) brought me some cashing register […]

If you have played games on console you must be knowing what a joystick is. In games a joystick is generally used to control the motion of character or a vehicle (like plane or car). Joystick give a very realistic two dimensional control! Joystick are also used to control the motion of real objects like […]
