Ghetto Pixels – Building an open source BlinkM Using ATTiny45 Microcontroller

AVR ATmega Projects, Game - Entertainment Projects / Ibrar Ayyub

Unless you’ve been living under a digital rock for the last few years, or just simply aren’t interested in flashing lights, you’ll already know about the awesomeness that is the BlinkM from ThingM. It’s a very small PCB featuring a high power LED that responds very easily and cleanly to commands you give it. Devices like BlinkM’s […]

USB PCB Business Card Using ATtiny85 Microcontroller

AVR ATmega Projects, Interfacing(USB - RS232 - I2c -ISP) Projects, Other Projects / Ibrar Ayyub

This is a business card that will type out some text when you plug it into a USB port. It uses a ATtiny85 microcontroller with V-USB based code to emulate a keyboard. The typing is triggered by the CAPS LOCK status LEDs being toggled 3 times. This instructable will focus on using CadSoft EAGLE to

Using ATMega328 Microcontroller Custom Tron Disc Mod

AVR ATmega Projects, LED Projects / Ibrar Ayyub

In this Instructable, I cover modding the store-bought Deluxe Identity Disc to an upgraded version with 64 leds, controlled by an AVR MCU. The upgraded version is costume-ready and would be an excellent addition to your Tron costume – it’ll also look great on your desk/dresser/etc. My 7 year old daughter watched Tron:Legacy with me

Using AtTiny2313 microcontroller Build an electronic polyhedral die

AVR ATmega Projects, Other Projects / Ibrar Ayyub

Dice are fun. Polyhedral dice used in D & D are even more fun, particularly in big handfuls of different sizes. But a handful isn’t always practical. Ever since I saw the dragon bone electronic die wand advertised in the back pages of Dragon magazine when I was a kid, I wanted an electronic device

Using the 8Pin ATTINY programming shield with an external clock

AVR ATmega Projects, Other Projects / Ibrar Ayyub

Instructables author extraordinaire Randofo created a great programming shield to use your Arduino to program 8 pin ATTINY processors. He was even generous enough to give 50 copies of it out to people who authored instructables using AVR processors. It works great on brand new ATTINYs and any chip that is programmed to use it’s Internal clock.

Picopter using Microcontroller ATmega128RFA1

AVR ATmega Projects, Robotics - Automation Projects / Ibrar Ayyub

Update May 4 2012: I am still working very hard on version 3 of Picopter. The new version’s hardware is already done. There are new 3D printed motor holders. I’ve done some measurements with regards to mass and radio spectrum. I’ve posted stuff to http://www.frank-zhao.com/picopter_forum/index.php including the new design files, so take a look. Update Feb
