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

In this article I will describe how to interface a Ultrasonic Range Finder Module with a AVR ATmega8 microcontroller. I will provide a HEX file which you can burn into your ATmega8 directly to quickly test this whole setup. Ultrasonic range finder modules helps find the exact distance to an object. This can have vast

AVR microcontrollers are the advanced microcontrollers. From 1996 onwards these are come into existence. In AVR family there are so many controllers are available. Mainly the AVR family is sub grouped as ATmega, ATtiny, Xmega, UC3, SAM3 and SAM4. In these form 8 to 32 bit controllers are available. All the controllers having some common
embRACE, a game developed on the embedded platform, entirely coded in assembly language. The game has been programmed on an ATMega16 micro-controller, interfaced with a 16×2 LCD display module. The game possesses an interactive user interface and exclusive features like: -Main Menu -Pause Menu -Real Time Score display -Life Indicator LEDs -Non-volatile High Score storage
