Concept of Touch LCD LC7981 using ATMega An on/off controller is the simplest form of a temperature control device. The output from the device is either on or off, with no middle state. An on-off controller will switch the output only when the temperature crosses the set-point. For heating control, the output is on when the […]

Having done half a dozen V-USB tutorials I decided it’s time to whip up something cool. As USB keyboards were an area untouched. I decided to make a small USB HID keyboard device that types a password stored in EEPROM every time it’s attached. A new password can be generated just by tabbing CAPS LOCK

Around time when I was beginning to learn about microcontrollers. I had exchanged my laptop with a senior at college for his desktop – that’s because the only way I knew how to program an ATMEGA chip was through either a serial port or a parallel port. USB programmers were not available widely and were

Part 1: Introduction For some people, interrupts are a mystical thing that they think they will never understand. To that I say non-sense! And to that effect and to help us also better understand VGA, let’s see if we can’t output some basic VGA signals like we’ve done before, but this time using some interrupts!

The classic pong game. Two players. Press the buttons to move paddles up/down. Ball bounces back and forth. If you fail to catch it, your opponent gets one point. Score difference is showed with blue LEDs. Blue LED = lead by one point. If you then win another point, you win the game, and your

Last week on hack-a-day I saw their post on an LED Menorah that was powered by a 9v battery with the lights controlled by dip switches. I thought to myself, “gee, that’s not a very creative design”. There was redemption in the minimalist designs linked too showing a menorah soldered to a tiny2313 and one

History I decided to do this project for several reasons: Frst I like music, second I have a huge collection of MP3, and third I wanted to be able to play them anytime in my living room. I began the project with one major restriction. The printed circuit board of MP3 player MUST be single

Driving a shift register using an AVR chip’s built-in hardware is really quite easy. Most of their offerings have an SPI module, or Serial Peripheral Interface. A shift register is exactly that, a peripheral device that communicates via a serial line. All we need to do is hook up our connections and use a few

This is an evaluation use of a small graphics LCD module. Last summer, SG12232C graphic LCD module has been sold sold for 1500 Yens from Akizuki Denshi and I bought it. However I could not find good application for the LCD module and it was going to go to junk box 🙂 so that I
