Summary of AVR Music Player with Alarm Clock using AT90USB1286 microcontroller
This project is an AVR-based music player and alarm clock centered on the AT90USB1286 microcontroller. It features a VS1033D decoder for audio processing, a 16×2 LCD display, a DS1307 real-time clock, and an IR remote interface. The system demonstrates communication between the MCU, memory, computer, and various peripherals.
Parts used in the AVR Music Player with Alarm Clock:
- AT90USB1286 microcontroller
- VS1033D music decoder
- 16×2 character LCD display (ST7066/HD44780 compatible)
- DS1307 real time clock
- IR remote
- Memory module
This music player project built based on AT90USB1286 microcontroller. It uses VS1033D music decoder which integrates music file decoding and digital-to-analog output. Other main part including 16×2 character LCD display, ST7066/HD44780 compatible, using 3.3V instead of 5V and DS1307 real time clock.
By finishing this project you can understand the communication between the microcontroller, memory, computer, LCD display, RTC, IR remote, and the music file decoder, said Frank, project designer.
