Setup Arduino Software for Atmega328P with Internal Crystal on Breadboard

Development Board - Kits Projects / Ibrar Ayyub

A breadboard Arduino will require an Atmega328P controller for these instructions. Note the “P” at the end of the name. You cannot use an Atmega328 because it has a slightly different device id number. It will require a different board configuration. Instructions for that are outside of this tutorial. Go to the Arduino tutorial website […]

Burn BootLoader into Atmega328P using Arduino Diecimila

Other Projects / Ibrar Ayyub

I have an old Arduino Diecimila and some new Atmega328P-PU chips. Shouldn’t have but I brounght some without bootloader to save some dollars. What next? search instructables to see if I can burn bootloader to ths chips. Unluckily not working. An error message “avrdude: stk500_getsync(): not in sync: resp=0x00 avrdude: stk500_disable(): protocol error, expect=0x14, resp=0x51”

HUB ISP – Solving the USB-Only "Chicken or Egg" Problem using ATMEGA328P

Many excellent ISP (In System Programming) designs exist for 8 bit AVR microcontrollers. However, most require a pre-programmed microcontroller, or the “Chicken or Egg” problem: you can’t program microcontrollers unless you have one already programmed. Parallel Port or Serial Port solutions have existed, but many modern computers no longer have these ports. The FTDI USB-to-serail

AVR-GCC LCD library – mixed pin support using Atmega328P

AVR ATmega Projects, LCD Projects / Ibrar Ayyub

Some time ago we have posted alphanumeric AVR-GCC LCD library. It works fine in 8-bit and 4-bit modes. But it has some limitations that some people may find annoying. One of them is requirement that LCD pins has to be byte aligned for instance in 8 bit mode LCD_D0 … LCD_D7 pins has to be

Vintage Toothbrush Timer using ATMega328p

AVR ATmega Projects, Medical - Health based Projects / Ibrar Ayyub

My last visit to the dentist convinced me that I should really brush my teeth at least two minutes. I decided to build a special toothbrush timer: it would detect when a brush is taken out, measure two minutes and notify when the time is up. I chose to use Atmega328p, a weight sensor, brass cups,

The $9 Quasi-duino (Almost-duino)

Circuits / Ibrar Ayyub

Do you currently have an Arduino and want to make it smaller for cheap? The Quasi-duino is for you (Italian for almost-duino). This makes a functional “almost” Arduino, in a very small form factor using the narcoleptic library for pico-power operations on a pico-space breadboard. This ‘ible will use Arduino 1.0. All of your Arduino

How to Read Binary/Hex Thumbwheel Switch with an AVR Microcontroller

AVR ATmega Projects, How To - DIY - Projects / Ibrar Ayyub

This instructable will show you how to read the number on a binary pushwheel or thumbwheel switch using LED’s or an AVR microcontroller (I’m using an ATmega328p but this can be adapted for any AVR or probably another microcontroller of your choice). Multiple thumbwheel switches can be strung together to make an electronic combination lock,

Telnet to your Arduino/AVR!

AVR ATmega Projects, Internet - Ethernet - LAN Projects / Ibrar Ayyub

The other day I was wanting to check on one of my AVR‘s but I was upstairs and god knows it was too much of a hassle to go downstairs to where the microcontroller was. But, there were two idle computers sitting upstairs next to my lazy butt, so I had a half-day from work

16-key Keypad Decoding with an AVR MCU

AVR ATmega Projects, How To - DIY - Projects, Interfacing(USB - RS232 - I2c -ISP) Projects / Ibrar Ayyub

This instructable will show you how to interface a 16-key keypad to your AVR microcontroller and read the key when a key is pressed. I’ll introduce the keypad first, then the 74HC922 16-key decoder IC as a pin-saving mechanism, then finally how to take the data and massage it so that you get the correct
