Magnetic Levitation

Magnetic Levitation using the Arduino Using Atmega

It’s been only a couple weeks since I discovered Arduino, an open source microcontroller platform. I was looking for a cheap interface between my laptop and electronic circuits. Arduino with its price $35 and easy to use development environment was the best choice. So after getting my Arduino Duemilanove board and ordering some cheap components from AllElectronics, I had […]

Gmail and RSS Notifiers using the Arduino Using Atmega

I’ve been really interested in doing J4mie’s Physical Gmail Notifier ever since it came out in February. I only recently dropped into the project and got to learn a lot about python, plists, and arduino auto-reset functionality. I’m going to share what I’ve learned because I think there are lots of other people out there struggling to make it

The Arduino Weather Station / Thermostat using ATmega328 microcontroller

I’ve always been interested in monitoring my local weather, and noticed the difference between what weather.com and accuweather.com think my local weather is, and what I see out the window. I also wanted better control over my heating and A/C system. As a computer and electronics nut, I’ve been playing with the Arduino Microcontroller, and decided

Head Controlled Keyboard And Mouse (1)

Head-Controlled Keyboard And Mouse For Disabled, using AVR and ATMega32 microcontroller

Easy Input is a head-controlled keyboard and mouse input device for paralyzed users. The system is built based on AVR ATMega32. It uses user’s head movement to control mouse movement on the monitor and user’s eye blinking to activate mouse click. Two main sensor used for this project are Freescale MMA6560Q accelerometers to detect head tilt and photodiode

Auto Sensing Sous Vide Cooker

Auto Sensing Sous-Vide Cooker using AVR microcontroller Using Atmega

This low cost AVR-based Sous-Vide Cooker is able to auto-calculate the appropriate time for cooking a certain thickness of meat using heat transfer equations. It can maintain a set temperature for extended periods of time. The project implements advanced features such as a water level monitor and automatic timer that can set cooking times depending on the quantity of
