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, […]
La forma más sencilla y rápida de programar un micro-controlador (uC) de la familia AVR, usando el programador USBasp, es utilizado el programa eXtreme Burner – AVR de Extreme Electronics. En esta guía te detallaremos como programar tu propio uC. Para esto necesitarás lo siguiente: – Programador USBasp – Driver de fischl.de/usbasp (solo Windows) – eXtreme Burner

Have you ever asked yourself how do hundreds and thousands of fireflies are able to synchronize themselves? How does it work, that they are able to blink all together without having a kind of boss firefly? This instructable gives a solution and shows how this synchronization can be achieved. I have always been fascinated

This instructable is meant to be a more complete explanation than others available online. Notably, this will provide more hardware explanation than is available in the LED Marquee instructable by led555. Goals This instructable presents the concepts involved with shift registers and high side drivers. By illustrating these concepts with an 8×8 LED matrix I

Buggy is a programmable LED craft project using a homemade, single-sided, PCB board, and a programmable AVR Attiny44v microcontroller. Buggy has two bi-colored LED eyes and can sense visible and IR light and emit sounds using a piezo speaker. Not counting the board, there is about $8 USD in parts per bug. I designed this
