This project is an instance of the UsbProg project created by Benedikt Sauter. Bene released the schematics, board layout and firmware as an open-source project. I took that project and made these modifications: Or, optionally, place a jumper across JP3 pins 2 and 3 so that LED1 is controlled by PD7. This frees up PA4 so that all 8 pins of PORTA c

an be used. PORTA is available via CONN3. When the jumper is in this position, the UsbProg-SHARP board is no longer compatible with stock UsbProg firmware and requires a special version of the firmware that has yet to be created. The board works when connected to a Win32 PC and with an update to the firmware, enumerates on a Macintosh as well! However, there is still no Mac OS X driver; work shall begin on that soon. 2007/08/12: Benedikt emailed me a new firmware binary for avrispmk2klon this morning that allows the UsbProg-SHARP to enumerate on a Mac! By the end of the day, Bene had put the new code in the subversion SCM. 2007/07/29: The board communication problems were due to 3 ATmega32 pins not making contact with their pads. Reflowing those pins solved the issue. The board is functional. Fuses were set so the ATmega32 will use the clock from the USBN9604. 2007/07/28: Etched and populated the board rev 2007/07/26. Attempted to flash the ATmega32 via ISP, but niether AvrDude nor AVR Studio could communicate with the board. An effort is underway to debug the communication problem. 2007/07/22: Changed the footprint of the two 2x5 Headers to be through-hole. Arty felt that the surface mount headers might peel-off when subjected to the forces on a ribbon cable. I created the board layout from scratch. I did this because my goal is to make a layout that can be etched using home-brew techniques. This means I have put as many...
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.....
