Introduction For our ECE 4760 final project, we implemented an interactive CPR training dummy which can coach the trainees through the CPR process with a LCD to display instructions. The prototype CPR training dummy built is a budget-friendly one that contains a re-programmable Atmel ATmega1284 microcontroller and other hardware components so that it can interact […]

Overview You cannot imagine to use microcontroller without using any of its i/o pins. Finally its all about : taking input , processing it and generating output ! Thus i/o registers and their correct settings is indispensable part while learning to program any uC. We will learn how to use Atmel AVR’s GPIO ports and actually

The Classic ATtin85-20PU is a very simple project that is also very fun to make. It really is perfect for a parent/child combo because it’s quick! Builds in minutes. But it does teach several electronic hobbyist skills.There is a story behind my decision to become infatuated with signal lights. My friend invited me to his

I love LED chasers. A bunch of LEDs neatly turning on and off on a precise timing – lights running one way, then the other way… It’s relaxing, soothing, and hypnotic. There are so many LED chaser/scanner/sequencer circuits out there, some are made with discreet transistors, some based on logic ICs, and more and more

Some time ago I presented the Electronic Quiz I made when I was a kid. It can be used to solve quiz sheets. The big drawback is, that each number is hard-wired to one letter so there are 26 fix combinations. Those are fast to memorise, even more so if you are a kid. So I came up

One way to extend the functionality of the micro:bit is to use a board called moto:bit by SparkFun Electronics (approximately $15-20). It looks complicated and has many features, but it isn’t hard to run servo motors from it. Moto:bit allows you to run more powerful motors than the tiny micro-motor that you can run from the micro:bit

Who does not want to have stunning lamp which can display animations and sync with other lamps in the house? Right, nobody. That’s why I made a custom RGB lamp. The lamp consists of 256 individually addressable LED’s and all of the LED’s can be controlled via a smartphone app. Additionally, you can build multiple
