Have you ever been chugging away at a project(s) and the project keeps growing and growing, while you add more things to it (we call that a Feaping Creaturism)? On a recent project, I was building a frequency meter and added a five function signal generator/frequency synthesizer. I soon wound up with more switches than […]

If you’d like to test the waters of microcontroller programming, the new AVR Dragon by Atmel Corporation is a nifty, low-cost entry-level development tool. Unfortunately, right out of the box, the AVR Dragon is not the definitive answer for the beginner looking for an all-in-one solution. Rather, the AVR Dragon is a great microcontroller programmer

This is a mutli-mode clock project based on attiny2313. it employs a 8×8 led matrix as display. with the limited resolution, this 12 hour clock shows time in 6 different modes. The circuit employs row and column multiplexing to drive the leds, one row at a time, this gives a 12.5% duty cycle when “sets”

Description With this circuit you can drive a unipolar stepper motor. It operates in full step mode. You can get a stepper motor from an old 5.25 disk drive. The AVR attiny2313 micro controller controls the pulses for the stepper motor. The pulses are amplified by the ULN2003 driver. The driver accepts 5V inputs, the

This project displays the temperature on an LCD display with an resolution of 0.06degrees. DS1820 is used for sensing the temperature. It can measure temperature range from -55deg to +125deg. But i take care of only the possitive temperature. There are 3 switches to change the alarm temperature, the user can increment the Alarm temperature

Description The PCF8583 is a clock/calendar circuit based on a 2048-bit static CMOS RAM organized as 256 words by 8 bits. Addresses and data are transferred serially via the two-line bidirectional I2C-bus. The built-in word address register is incremented automatically after each written or read data byte. Address pin A0 is used for programming the
