Interfacing Atmel AVR with Graphics Liquid Crystal Displays (GLCDs)

AVR SED1520 Library This is a C-library for avr-gcc/avr-libc to access SED1520-based graphics-LCDs. The modules used to develop the library only support “write to LCD”, read-modify- write on the display RAM is not possible. So this Library uses a “framebuffer” which holds the display-content in the AVR’s SRAM. For a 122*32 pixel display around 500 […]

3D Graphene Could Make Solar Cells Cheaper

Electronics News Updates / Ibrar Ayyub

PORTLAND, Ore. — Some day we may say good bye to expensive platinum in solar cells. Researchers at Michigan Technological University, in Houghton, Mich., have found that it’s possible to use a 3D graphene structure as a cheaper and more conductive alternative. Graphene is by definition a flat, planar monolayer, but by combining it with

Hacking a cheap LED voltmeter

Electronics News Updates / Ibrar Ayyub

I’m planning to build a EEVblog-ish constant dummy load for battery and power supply testing. Dave in his build used a LCD voltmeter for the display. In the senseless pursuit of difference, I tried other display solutions including character LCD, graphics LCD, OLED, TFT, AMOLED, IPS, which resulted in several previous blogs but nothing ends up
