How DVDs Work
Posted on: 14 Jun 2013
DVD Discs A DVD is very similar to a CD, but it has a much larger data capacity. A standard DVD holds about seven times more data than a CD does. This huge capacity means that a DVD has enough room to store a full-length, MPEG-2-encoded movie, as well as a lot of other information. […]
Leonardo Arduino clone a single-sided PCB using ATmega32U4
Posted on: 13 Jun 2013
DESCRIPTION This project is to make a clone of Arduino Leonardo in a simple way.That is why the distribution of the pin does not match the standard Arduino (have to make many jumpers on the motherboard or use both sides). However, most Arduino Leonardo characteristics are maintained. The circuit is protected by an automatic reset fuse […]
Head-Controlled Keyboard And Mouse using ATmega32
Posted on: 13 Jun 2013
Easy Input is a head-controlled keyboard and mouse input device for disabled users. The system uses accelerometers to detect the user’s head tilt in order to direct mouse movement on the monitor. The clicking of the mouse is activated by the user’s eye blinking through a reflective sensor. The keyboard function is implemented by allowing […]
How to drive 595 shift registers with ATmega168
Posted on: 13 Jun 2013
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 […]
HexiLogger, an Arduino based data logger using ATmega328
Posted on: 13 Jun 2013
The purpose of this project was to create a simple, portable device that would periodically read sensors and then store the sensor data so it could be retrieved later. The result is the HexiLogger, “hexi” because it can support up to six different sensor inputs and “logger” because it will store the input data on […]
Enhancing An FM Transmitter’s Firmware using ATmega48
Posted on: 13 Jun 2013
This hack is about rewriting the firmware of PLL FM transmitters based on AVR microcontrollers to add more functionalities. They’re commonly available on eBay from various sellers and for prices ranging from $40 to $80, depending mostly on the RF output power. If you don’t know if a similar transmitter is based on an AVR […]
4-key keyboard using ATtiny85
Posted on: 13 Jun 2013
Introduction: A good while back, I made the 1-key-keyboard project. Ever since it has always been in the back of my mind that the ATTiny microcontroller, which I used in this project, had still 3 IO ports which were unused. Only recently I’ve found the time to expand my old project in the most obvious […]
RSS Reader using ATmega8 microcontroller
Posted on: 13 Jun 2013
I spent part of an afternoon developing a hardware RSS reader (most of my time was spent on the python side of things). It’s pretty simple and uses an AVR microcontroller connected to a computer via a serial cable. Hardware I am using the Dragon Rider 500 as a development board. This provides all of […]
Teardown: Samsung Galaxy S4
Posted on: 13 Jun 2013
If there is one thing I have learned in my years on this planet, it would be that it is human nature to staunchly choose sides. Whether it is Republican or Democrat, Coke or Pepsi, or Mac or PC, people love to rally behind the products they love and disparage the ones they don’t. In […]
