The Nintendo Wii Nunchuk was released in December 2006. It features an analog stick, two buttons, and a 3-axis accelerometer. Due to its low price (around $5 for a used or counterfeit Nunchuk) and I2C bus support, it became an easily accessible option for those looking to add an input device to their project without much hassle. Without further […]

This project explores the functionalities of the AVR ATtiny4313 microcontroller using three different programming environments: Bascom-AVR, GCC, and Assembly language. The focus is on utilizing timers and interrupts to achieve tasks like blinking an LED. Hardware Setup: The project utilizes an ATtiny4313 microcontroller mounted on a breadboard. A crystal oscillator with two capacitors sets the

While most opt for a 16MHz oscillator in a DIY Arduino setup, it’s intriguing to discover that the ATmega328 can function without it. An Arduino typically comprises various elements such as a linear regulator, USB to Serial microcontroller, debug LED, power LED, reset button, RX & TX LED, crystal oscillator, among others. However, a minimal

The ATMega32 is an widely used microcontroller from Atmel. It shares many similarities with the ATMega328P but has a more reduced memory capacity. However, the ATMega32 makes up for this with a greater number of input/output pins available. A key advantage of the ATMega32 is that each GPIO pin can exclusively support either digital input/output

Introduction Typically, we employ a timer/counter to generate time intervals, waveforms, or tally events. Additionally, timers are utilized for purposes such as PWM generation and event capturing. In the AVR ATmega16 / ATmega32 microcontrollers, there are three timers at your disposal: 1. Timer0: An 8-bit timer 2. Timer1: A 16-bit timer 3. Timer2: Another 8-bit

Story A digital clock is a type of clock that displays the time using numerals or digits, rather than using a dial and hands. These clocks typically use an electronic display, such as an LED or LCD screen, to show the time. Digital clocks are commonly found in devices such as radios, phones, computers,

A GitHub user called Wagiminator has posted details about ATtiny84-TinyCalibrator, which is an OSC Calibrator and High Voltage Fuse Resetter for 8-Pin ATtinys. The ATtiny84 was chosen as the microcontroller for the TinyCalibrator because it has exactly the necessary number of GPIO pins. 8-pin ATtinys usually feature few GPIO pins available, so they are usually operated without an external clock.

DC motors are the most widely used motors. These motors can be found almost everywhere from small projects to advanced robotics. We previously interfaced DC Motor with many other microcontrollers like Arduino, Raspberry pi and used it in many robotic projects. Today we learn to control DC motor with AVR Microcontroller Atmega16. But before going ahead let’s know more about

Clock generator I recently build a pulse generator and it does its job well. It produces pulses of variable length and at several frequencies. But the number of frequencies it can produce is limited and for many jobs the length of a pulse is less important than its frequency. E.g. when you are testing a

Kids just aren’t huge fans of brushing their teeth. Not only are they not huge fans, they also are pretty bad at it. Teaching a young kid to brush their teeth is really hard. I created a little contraption that not only times them to make sure they brush for an entire two minutes, but
