Story Introduction This is my first Arduino project. My work was inspired by several maker projects that created Persistence of Vision Displays [2,3,4]. Persistence of vision (POV) refers to the optical illusion whereby multiple discrete images blend into a single image in the human mind and believed to be the explanation for motion perception in cinema and animated films [1]. The […]

Story What is a Bootloader? Microcontrollers require a programmer to install firmware on them. A programmer is a device, that when combined with software, loads firmware to the microcontroller. There are many programmers available. I won’t go into to detail about them, but I will say that if you intend to do more than just

Story SSD1306xLED is a C library for working with the SSD1306 display driver to control dot matrix OLED/PLED 128×64 displays. It is intended to be used with the Tinusaur board but should also work with any other board based on ATtiny85 or similar microcontroller. The 128×64 OLED is controlled by a SSD1306 circuit and could be

ATMega32 switch code is extremely simple to implement, and this article looks into how to write the code to make an LED light up when a switch is pressed. The atmega32-switch-code.c program tests the switch input to the ATMega32 Development System. There are many ways to write the code, but I have chosen the simplest

Similar to printing ‘Hello World’ in C or C++, the very first step towards programming a microcontroller is Blinking a LED with a delay. Atmega32 is a very popular high performance 8 bit AVR Microcontroller. For this example project we need to use two registers DDR and PORT. DDR stands for Data Direction Register, it
