These are simple AVR programmers. I designed and built four different programmers for various envilonments: LPT controlled parallel programmer, LPT controlled ISP adapter, COM controlled ISP adapter and COM controlled generic SPI bridge. Additionaly, COM controlled adapters can be used as a communication cable between host PC and target board,... .
This is the timekeeping test circuit. It includes a one-transistor circuit to switch in the 5V power supply when present and drop back to the 3v battery the rest of the time. That loop of blue wire-wrapping wire is a lariat used to quickly and easily pull the chip out of the socket during development without damage and without having to reach... .
A composite stereo signal, as transmitted by FM radio stations, is composed of at least three parts: A base band mono signal, a double sideband channel difference signal, and a pilot carrier. The signal composition is somewhat analogous to an NTSC composite color television signal. I said "at least three parts" because some stations transmit... .
A frequency reference for tuning up the RS-232 to 100 MHz RF desktop channel adapter elsewhere on this site, when I found this Saronix crystal oscillator in my junk box. A few minutes with AVRStudio produced an ATtiny12 to make a tone - even fewer parts than using an NE-555. With the addition of a transistor to gate the output, I was set to go.... .
This is the low cost AVR programmer using attiny2313. The schematic diagram is given below. First setup the circuit as shown. One important care taken to make fuse bit avrdude -c usbasp -p t2313 -U hfuse:w:0xdf:m -U lfuse:w:0xef:m If you use serial port to write the program , use stk200 command instead of usbasp. .
Is it possible to use DRAM with microcontroller AVR? Yes, it is possible. Jesperh has proved it. He hooked up a DRAM to a small processor (in this case an Microcontroller Atmel 8515), and handle the RAS/CAS sequencing and refresh in software. The type of DRAM is Hitatchi M5M44800, a 512k*8 DRAM!. Bigger than the original memory of...
Recently, I have needed to measure inductances in the hundreds of microhenries to several millihenry range. Though I have a pretty good LRC meter and an excellent bridge on my workbench in Mesa, Arizona, I wanted to make these measurements in my home in Thailand, thus I decided to put something together. The RF Inductance meter on this website... .
Useful as a transmitter tune-up meter or an RF sniffer, this is an RF field strength indicator that is loosely based on the Broad Band RF Field Strength Probe, described elsewhere. It detects RF via a square law detector, basically its a crystal set with gain. The bias circuit for the detector is significantly modified from the probe to reduce... .
The Atmel AVR series are very good microcontrollers with quite a rich instruction set, rich enough that lots of folks have good compilers for them so we don`t have to learn their assembler. A very rich compiler available is the BASCOM/AVR compiler from MCS Electronics. I`ve used this compiler for prototyping the software on my 90S2313 robot... .
This is an experimental work to monitor a spectrum pattern of radio band, and is a continuous project from Audio Spectrum Monitor. To analyze the spectrum of an input signal, I chose an Atmel`s AVR microcontroller used in Audio Spectrum Monitor to process FFT. When think it easy, it can be thought that sample an input RF signal directly and... .
All resistors are 1/4W.The circuit is powered by 9...15V DC or AC. When In Circuit Programming (ISP) connectors are used, is possible the programmer to be powered from target?s power source. Diodes D2 and D6 protect the regulator LM7805, when target?s power is used. ?PIC JUMP? is used to switch between Microchip?s PIC and ATMEL?s... .
To program some AVR microcontroller unit (MCU) you will need an AVR programmer. The better way to do that, is to buy some development kit like STK-500. This kit have the advandage to give you serial port, LCD connector, SRAM socket, 8 switches, 8 LEDs, connectrors for all of the ports of MCU and more, to one board. I sugest to beginers, to... .
This is a simple display controller. It can be controlled with a small microcontroller, such as MCS51, 68HC11, Z80, AVR and others. Several years ago, I found an article that controlling a TV with only a PIC micorcontroller, and I surprised to it. It is very interesting to attempt to synthesize video signal with a micorcontroller. However,... .
CodeLock AVR electronic combination lock is realised with Atmel AVR microcontroller AT90S2313 or ATtiny2313. Program in hex code is 2 kB long. User code is consisted of 1 to 4 digits. If you buy the chip than user code is consisted of 1 to 8 digits. If the code is entered in the correct sequence, then after 1 second the relay and the electric... .
An In Circuit Programmer is a very valuable tool. Not only does it allow you to program you AVR's with ease, you can update your program without having to remove the AVR (very use full when working with surface mount devices). Also, an ICP allows you to use one tool to program possibly every AVR available today. .
This Project Digital Calendar using Microcontroller is an advanced digital calendar, which displays the Date, Day, Month over the LED display. It has an 8 bit Microcontroller which runs on the Program embedded on its ROM. Separate LEDs are provided for the date, day, and month. The system has an battery backup so that it can run over all the... .
A simple count-down LED timer that counts in minutes and seconds. Three buttons below the LED provide control of the unit, allowing you set the desired countdown time in minutes and seconds and a start/stop button. Completion of the countdown is indicated by an alarm that starts when the countdown has finished and the display reads zero. .
Digital visitor counter is a reliable circuit that takes over the task of counting Number of Persons/ Visitors in the Room very Accurately. When somebody enters into the Room then the Counter is Incremented by one and when any one leaves the room then the Counter is Decremented by One. The total number of Persons inside the Room is displayed on... .
This Project Components tester can be used to check the electronic components such us Diode, Transistor, Capacitor, IC555, IC741 and Continuity. The whole circuit was controlled by the Microcontroller AT89C52. The circuit has an LCD display it was used to display the Text messages over it. The system will display the conditions of the device on... .
This project Digital gated Emulator using Microcontroller is used to emulate the basic gates such us NOT, OR, AND. The system has the selector switch by which we can select any gate. The system has two inputs and one output. We use two SPDT switches for the inputs and for the output we use an LED. .
This is a power generating method from sunlight.This method of power generation is simple and is taken from natural resource. This need only maximum sunlight to generate power. This project helps for power generation by setting the equipment to get maximum sunlight automatically. This system is tracking for maximum intensity of light. When there... .
The main objective of this system is to transmit message or text through ordinary Land Line Telephone from one end (source) to another end (designation). This is get achieved by the DTMF technology. It has two sections one for editing the text and to transmit the edited text and the other section consist for receiving the text message. The... .
