The Nintendo Wii Nunchuk was released in December 2006. It features an analog stick, two buttons, and a 3-axis accelerometer. Due to its low price (around $5 for a used or counterfeit Nunchuk) and I2C bus support, it became an easily accessible option for those looking to add an input device to their project without much hassle. Without further […]
Introduction This document outlines a prototype board designed for use with the Atmel Mega644 or Mega32 (PDIP) MCU. The board incorporates essential components such as a power supply, crystal clock, and bypass capacitors. Additionally, it features a six-pin header for flash memory programming from devices like STK500 or AVRISPmkII. All port pins are accessible via

This tutorial will guide us through acquiring the necessary tools and setting up our environment for C programming and embedded development using 8-bit AVR microcontrollers. Specifically, it will cover: The tools required for AVR development using the free Atmel Studio IDE on Windows. Building a simple circuit with an AVR microcontroller and flashing LED. Writing
Introduction This page describes a prototype board for the Atmel Mega644 or Mega32 (PDIP) MCU. It includes a power supply, crystal clock, and generous bypass capacitors. A six-pin header allows flash memory programming from an STK500 or AVRISPmkII. All port pins are brought out to a single row of vias on 0.1 inch centers. A
Researchers from the Smart Management of Infrastructure Laboratory (SMILab), located in the Center for Advanced Research Computing, have developed a new strain sensor as a part of the Low-Cost Efficient Wireless Intelligent Sensors (LEWIS) project. The new sensor, called the LEWIS-S, is easy to use, wireless, and can be offered at about 5% of the cost of
A while back, I posted up a quick and dirty “el cheapo” method of getting started programming the Atmel AVR series chips: Ghetto Programmer (version 1.0) Since then, I’ve vamped, re-vamped, and otherwise improved my setup. Thought it’d be nice to document it. The goal was to get a flexible, compact, portable, use-anywhere, AVR-based microcontroller prototyping
Well most of time i get troubled when i need Arduino in some projects where i need few I/O pinsWell thanks to Arduino-Tiny platform Arduino program can be burned into the Avr-tiny Series like Attiny 85/45 Arduino-Tiny is an open source set of ATtiny “cores” for the Arduino platform. It provides a core that enables
As I write this instructable it is mid winter on the Northern hemisphere and that means short days and long nights. I am used to getting up at 06:00 and in the Summer the sun will be shining by then. In the Winter though, it gets light at 09:00 if we are lucky to have
I know WIZ550S2E solution for monitoring. Recently WIZwiki-W7500ECO platform was announced by WIZnet. So I implemented a firmware of WIZwiki-W7500ECO by WIZ550S2E SW modification because I can handle a source code easily. You can know the status of equipment even if it is so far. Please refer to the following step. Step 1: Prepare Materials
