A “Clapper” is a device that will turn on or off an AC appliance that is plugged into it, such as a lamp or fan when it “hears” you clap twice in approximate succession. Pete has built a Clever Clapper with various task. If user claps twice within one second, the circuit toggles the lamp […]
Introduction The goal of this project was to design and build a gaming device capable of levitating a ping pong ball at varying heights based on the proximity of the user to the device, utilizing a multi-tasking kernel on the ATMega16 platform. The project incorporates a fairly complex mechanical system and utilizes many features of

This ATmega644-based project implements a touchpad input system which takes user handwriting input and converts it to a printed character. Currently, the device only recognizes the 26 letters of the alphabet, but it could be easily generalized to include any figure of completely arbitrary shape, including alphanumeric, punctuation, and other symbols using available training system.

AvrX is a Real Time Multitasking Kernel for AVR microcontrollers written in assembly. Total kernel size varies from ~500 to 700 words depending upon which version is being used. Since the kernel is provided as a library of routines, practical applications take up less space because not all functions are used. AvrX has 40 API

AVR microcontroller uses fuse bits to set its operational parameters like watchdog timer settings and change speed of the internal oscillator. Most fuse bits can be set or reset without worry. You can flash it into one state and then flashed back again using an SPI programmer. However, some fuse bits like RSTDISBL fuse are

AVR-Doper is an STK500 compatible In System Programmer (ISP) and High Voltage Serial Programmer (HVSP). It comes with a built-in USB to Serial adaptor to connect to modern host computers which often don’t have a serial interface. The project implements a low speed USB device in firmware only. No USB capable controller or converter is
Real-time kernel (RTK) is useful to run several task or protocol on one CPU. Since only one task at a time can be executed by MCU, RTK used to make each task think it owns the whole machine. RTK will handle which task has to be saved while other tasks execute. TinyRealTimeis a very small
