This firmware is intended to run on an Atmel ATtiny2313 operating from a 4, 8, 10, 16, or 20 MHz clock or an AT90S2313 operating from a 4 MHz clock. As far as I have been able to determine, the ATtiny2313 and AT90S2313 versions are interchangeable, and the only difference is that they were assembled using different include files. When connected to minimal interface circuitry, a chip programmed with this interpreter will interact with an ASCII terminal allowing the writing and execution of small Basic programs and hardware debugging by immediately executing commands from the terminal that are not preceded by a line number. Communications with the terminal is via RS-232 (EIA-232) at 9600 baud, 8 data bits, one stop, no parity. Pin 2 (RXD) and pin 3 (TXD) should be connected to an inverting RS-232 interface as shown in the schematic on this page. The Maxim MAX-232 and similar interface chips as well as the discreet interface shown in Atmel's AVR-910 application note are examples of such interfaces.

Programs are typed directly into on-chip RAM and may be saved to the on-chip EEPROM with the SAVE command and loaded back to RAM from the on-chip EEPROM with the LOAD command.
If pin 2 (RXD) is grounded when the chip comes out of reset, either from the application of power or after an external reset, the contents of the EEPROM will be loaded into RAM and executed by the interpreter. If the contents of the EEPROM is loaded when the EEPROM is in the erased state, some of the internal pointers may be set inappropriately, so it is advisable to type ?NEW" to reset the pointers prior to entering a new program. A weak internal pull-up is applied to pin 2, and as a consequence, the 39k pull-up shown in the discreet RS-232 receiver in the schematic is no longer needed.
When power is switched on, you should see it type the greeting line, then drop
a couple of lines and present a prompt:

You can enter commands and arguments at the prompt. Variables can be manipulated and they
are not cleared when the program is run, thus the terminal maybe used to initialize
variables before the program is run, and it can be used to read results
after a program is run, thus saving precious program memory.
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.....
