The applied microcontroller is an ATMega8 clocked at 16MHz. This microcontoller can shift out arbitrary wavefroms from its flash or SRAM storage at a rate of 2MS/s (and even faster!). The 8bit data is fed from portD to the AD converter ( Analog `s AD7524) connected as voltage DAC. The USB data lines are shared with the DA data forming a common 8bi

t bus, hence you cannot update the analog output while talking over the USB and vice versa but fortunately, the AD7524 has an internal latch so that it can keep the previous analog value. USB_CTL provides the 4 necessary USB control lines. JP2 provides 3 dedicated user IO lines. These can be freely used e. g. as trigger or status indicators. Note that two of these lines are connected to portC an hence can also be programmed as inputs to the ATMega8 on-board AD converter. Of course, if you don`t use USB, you have additional 4 arbitrary IO lines. And then, there`s LED1, a freely programmable general purpose diagnosis LED. (Very handy, you`ll see. ) Note that this is an updated revision of the circuit. The photos show exactly that revision but it was manually changed after PCB fabrication. This is why the board has e. g. two unused potentiometers.
This project fits more for custom made battery casing that can have more space to hide things inside. This switch with few alterations can be used for any other project as well but is designed based on e-bike needs! This project use a clever functionality of....
The circuit described here uses ultrasonic oscillations and operates based on the propagation velocity of these oscillations in the air. Thus, we can easily determine the distance of two points if the time within which the wave travels this distance is....
Sometimes the precious metals are hidden too deep and are not detected except with complicated devices. In many cases, however, small pieces of precious metal buried near the surface can be detected by relatively simple means. Everyone is very attractive to....
Many times for various reasons we forget or can not water the plants that we have in our homes. And many humidity sensors units just notify us with a beeping sound or with a flashing light, that the pot needs watering. But what if we are away from home? This....
The principle behind a metal detector is really very simple. Proof of this is the circuit that follows, in which it proves that the construction of a metal detector can be done in the minute, with few components that we find very easily everywhere. With the....
The sub-harmonic bass generator is a sound producing unit for guitars. The sound it produces looks very much like that of the bass guitar. The octave generator is sometimes quite unusual since it does not produce any of the usual ways of coloring the sound,....
In the past the sounding (sea bottom measurement) was done with the "bullet", that is, with a heavy lead object that the seamen plucked into the sea hung from a calibrated rope. As soon as the "bullet" reached the bottom, the depth appeared directly from the....
This Amplifier was designed to have the following specifications: Distortion less than 0.1% at full power of 100W even at 20KHz. Power has to be attributed to an extended bandwidth. The output transistors must be protected against short circuits. The power....
A series of LEDs serve to alert the gardener when plants need water. Using two conventional digital integrated LEDs and a series of LEDs, we make a very useful device for gardening. The device detects the amount of water in the pot and alerts the grower.....
