Wine doesn`t like subzero temperatures, and during wintertime, my "winecellar" got pretty cold. There was an electric heating element, but the thermostat was broken, so it was either full burn or nothing. That`s how the temperature monitor/controller came to.... -
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,.... -
A discussion recently on the mp3projects discussion board, about using DRAM memory with small 8-bit processors without DRAM controllers, got me to take up an old idea. I thought it should be possible to hook up a DRAM to a small processor (in this case an.... -
The circuit is a simple, but accurate Digital Guitar Tuner. It samples the input, which can be directly from the mics of an electric guitar, or from a microphone, it you`re using an acoustic guitar. It can ofcourse also be used for tuning other instruments..... -
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.... -
The presented project is a function generator for sinusoidal and square signals production. The output frequency covers the range from 10 Hz to 100 KHz with a step of 2 Hz. The waveform synthesis is based on the D.D.S. technique (Direct Digital Synthesis)....
