Introduction ProxiMIDI is a MIDI code generator, that takes its inputs from a user using Atmel’s Capacitive touch and Proximity technology. It can generate sound signals for 4 notes of 3 instruments and vary the tempo, volume and sound depending upon the proximity inputs. The signals generated from ProxiMIDI can be connected to any MIDI […]

What We Did We created an autonomous robot that explores the world in linear trajectories while avoiding obstacle using IR range-finding. The robot is a Venom RC car altered to be controlled by an Arduino Uno programmed in AVR Assembly (a very low-level programming language specific to the type of hardware used). The Arduino communicates

1 Starting Forth Forth[3] is a flexible, stack-based programming language that is ideal for embedded use. It has an amazing power to weight ratio; it can do a lot with limited resources. Forth zealots take this as one of many signs that Forth is the One-True-Language. I disagree; modern desktops and laptops are so powerful that

This project was done in order to experiment with the Automotakit breadboard board which is based on the ATMEGA256A3U chip. The use of a DAC, ADC , low pass filter, PWM, basic I/O, current control, clock setup, and interrupts on an Atmega chip are some of the topics explored here. In order to experiment around, the datasheet

I have been working on input and output devices communication for weeks. For those weeks, I spent so many times on the ESP32 debugging and got nothing solved, which makes me be so despair about the foreseeable failure of my final project. This wildcard week, however, saved my final project. I joined the advanced embedded
1. Programming Board Blinking Code using Arduino environment CODE: I started with code code from Jaclyn Berry’s page : const int buttonPin = 7; const int ledPin = 2; int buttonState = 0; void setup() { pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT); pinMode(buttonPin, INPUT); } void loop() { buttonState = digitalRead(buttonPin); if (buttonState == HIGH){ digitalWrite(ledPin,HIGH); } else{ digitalWrite(ledPin,LOW);

Introduction This page attempts to describe a procedure for installing a complete GCC-based toolchain on a modern Windows system. I’ve developed these instructions on my Windows 10 machine, but they should work for versions of Windows as far back as Windows 7. On older versions, you might want to use WinAVR. WinAVR used to be the preferred way to get

Code explanation for MASTER Controller: Step 1: Initialization of master. Initialization of MASTER means to set the TWI clock frequency (SCL). It is done by setting bit rate in TWBR and pre scaler bits in TWSR. Fig. 2: Equation Of

Step 1: Components and Where to Start I’ve started from the Arduino official site: https://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/Standalone where I’ve taken this picture, and where there is the list of all the components that you have to buy. Just the components that are showed in this picture. ( At the link, there are also others steps after this

Step 1: The Beginning Last week I decided to make a classic Arduino clone with an ATMEGA328P-PU. I seemed to be so easy and quick but a very bad surprise for me: I odered the cheaper ATMEGA328-PU (non P!!) that is to say: non pico power. The difference: this IC needs a bit more energy
