How to program a AVR (arduino) with another arduino using atmega168 microcontroller

This instructables is usefull if: * you’ve got your arduino with atmega168 and you bought an atmega328 at you local electronics store. It doesn’t have an arduino bootloader * you want to make a project that doesn’t use arduino – just a regular AVR chip (like the USBTinyISP) – you have a clean attiny2313/attiny48 etc […]

The 74HC164 Shift Register and your Arduino using GD74HC164 microcontroller

Shift registers are a very important part of digital logic, they act as glue in between the parallel and serial worlds. They reduce wire counts, pin use and even help take load off of your cpu by being able to store their data. They come in different sizes, with different models for different uses, and

Using a Dot Matrix LED with an Arduino and Shift Register

The Siemens DLO7135 Dot matrix LED is one amazing piece of optoelectronics. It’s billed as a 5×7 Dot Matrix Intelligent Display (r) with Memory/Decoder/Driver. Along with that memory, it’s got a 96-character ASCII display set with upper and lower case characters, a built-in character generator and multiplexer, four levels of light intensity, and it all

Interfacing ATmega32 with an LCD and a DAC

Hi techies!! This is one more of my circuits, interfacing ATmega32 with an LCD and a DAC. it also includes two general purpose push-buttons and In System Programming connector. The controller is operating with 14.7456 MHz frequency crystal, convenient for generating standard baud rates (for RS422 communication whic i used in my actual project, not
