Do you currently have an Arduino and want to make it smaller for cheap? The Quasi-duino is for you (Italian for almost-duino). This makes a functional “almost” Arduino, in a very small form factor using the narcoleptic library for pico-power operations on a pico-space breadboard. This ‘ible will use Arduino 1.0. All of your Arduino

OH NO!!! You’ve screwed up and now the Arduino bootloader on your ‘duino is gone! What are you going to do? Go spend money for a programmer??? Well don’t! I’ve got a solution that only requires your ‘duino and some wires! So its not the end of the world, it is just a minor glitch

This Instructable will be about designing a music player from using various building blocks. You will understand the communication between the microcontroller, memory, computer, LCD display, RTC, IR remote, and the music file decoder. I will try my best to to teach you in a way so that you can design your own projects using

I’ve been meaning to make something cool for my dorm room this coming semester and decided that some custom closet lights would look great. In this Instructable, I’ll show you how to make some nice-looking LED lights that will turn on automatically using a hall effect sensor and a magnet. Edit: I’ve noticed a lot

This instructable is a crash course in how to use some of the features of the Dragon Rider 500 from Ecros Technologies. Please be aware that there is a very detailed User’s Guide available on the Ecros website. The Dragon Rider is a interface board for use with an AVR microcontroller programmer called the AVR

* you’ve got your arduino with atmega168 and you bought an atmega328 at you local electronics store. It doesn’t have an arduino bootloader * you want to make a project that doesn’t use arduino – just a regular AVR chip (like the USBTinyISP) – you have a clean attiny2313/attiny48 etc that you want to burn

This instructable was inspired by my first AVR microcontroller project that I’ve been working on for some time now. I wanted to start learning more about the AVR microcontroller and see how much I could do with the minimum amount of hardware… no extra chips, simple components, etc… just my AVR and my code so
