How you can make a simple RPM Meter using AVR ATmega8. The RPM meter we will be making is a contact less type, i.e. it measures the RPM of a rotating object without actually making any contact with it. An IR reflectance sensor will be used to sense the speed. You have to attach a

An interesting project that can be done using Microcontroller is a LED message scroll er. It teaches you a quite lot of things. So I decided to make one. I made the hardware design modular and cascadeble That means the whole display is made up of several 15×7 modules. Each module has everything to drive

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

What is an AVR ? First of all AVR stands for: Advanced Virtual RISC. The founders are Alf Egil Bogen Vegard Wollan RISC (also forms AVR). An AVR is a small microcontroller (chip, IC) which is switching digitally (controller) by means of so called i/o’s (input/output pins) The i/o’s do all the digital switching. The
