Do you know this classic wooden labyrinth game with two knobs for X and Y rotation? So, I’ve decided to modify one by connecting two standard servos to the knobs and let a microcontroller (ATmega32) play the game. Credits: – To CarlS www.instructables.com/id/Servo-Controlled-Marble-Maze/ for inspiration. – To the AVR freaks www.avrfreaks.net especially Dean (aka abcminiuser)

You can’t calculate binary values “as is” on most handheld calculators and using the windows one is just a pain, so i decided to make my very own (binary only) calculator. This calculator supports all the basic functions like : NOT,OR,AND,XOR, addition,subtraction,multiplication,division and modulo. So join me as we are going to enter the world of ones and zeros
