The reason for making this project is that I was always fascinated by Conways Game of Life. It’s a great demonstration of the fact that simple things with a very simple set of rules can do wonderful things: spawn more of them, modify themselves, do logical operations, even create Turing machines. I suspect much more […]

These tiny controller boards are build to provide a quick start for projects with 8 and 20 pin AVR microcontrollers, e.g. ATtiny13, ATtiny45, ATtiny85 and ATtiny2313. They don’t include any fancy stuff, they are just as simple as possible. Where is the problem? Whenever I was prototyping on a breadboard I was annoyed by all

This is my first time using the AVR. I like to learn using the ATTiny 2313, because it is faster than MCS-51, cheap and the circuit is very simple. The chip has only 20 pins. I was interested because I want to build a simple line follower robot controlled by this MCU. Board Construction The

INTRODUCTION AVR910 is a very useful programmer. It can program almost complete range of AVR chips. The original version made by Klaus is here, http://www.mikrocontroller-projekte.de/Mikrocontroller/AVR-Prog/AVR-Programmer.html. The programmer uses ISP capability of AVR chips. AVR910 first appeared in AVR910 application note by ATMEL. It is one of the fastest programmers for AVR. We can use AVR

A simple, low component count phase locked loop that locks onto and detects the amplitude of an incoming baseband 7 bit Barker code using a switched resistor demodulator that is driven directly by a microcontroller’s output pins. Balanced modulators using resistors and a microcontroller’s output pins. Locking into oncoming Pseudo-noise (PN) stream. Microcontroller modulates its

My microcontroller-powered prime number generator/calculator is virtually complete! Although I’m planning on improving the software (better menus, the addition of sound, and implementation of a more efficient algorithm) and hardware (a better enclosure would be nice, battery/DC wall power, and a few LEDs on the bottom row are incorrectly wired), this device is currently functional

LED Dog Collar So this is a pretty simple project, but I thought it was a clever idea. I have 2 dogs, a lab and a lab mix. The lab “Sunshine” likes to runaway a lot if we let her outside at all. She always comes back, but we can’t find her whenever she leaves.

Atmel described a simple programmer based on the AT90S1200 (NOT the AT90S1200A) controller in their application note. AVR910 (a modification to use the AT90S2313 is also given below). The circuit is so small and simple. I was able to put two of them together without using a printed circuit board. Taking only about an hour

The DS protocol was designed to provide firmware-based bidirectional host-to-slave inter processor communications for situations in which no hardware solution is available and the host and/or the slave in incapable of tending the interface in real time. The only specialized hardware required is two bidirectional I/O ports on each chip (alternatively two input ports and
