The Swiss AVR Knife bundles a number of AVR programming projects together in a single convenient Altoids Gum Tin. Because of the flexibility afforded by microcontroller programming, it also provides a starting point for any number of projects based on LEDs and sound output. The SAK can contain as many programs as the 8K of memory permits and […]

GuGaplexing is a new LED display multiplexing technique. Compared to Charlieplexing, GuGaplexing allows you to control twice as many LEDs, with just a few additional components. GuGaplexed Valentine LED Heart project has 40 LEDs arranged in an ‘Arrow Piercing a Heart” arrangement using only 5 pins of a microcontroller. The project uses an AVR ATTiny13V Microcontroller. All the 6 I/O pins

Introduction The goal of this project was to design and build a gaming device capable of levitating a ping pong ball at varying heights based on the proximity of the user to the device, utilizing a multi-tasking kernel on the ATMega16 platform. The project incorporates a fairly complex mechanical system and utilizes many features of

The reason for making this project is that I was always fascinated by Conways Game of Life. It’s a great demonstration of the fact that simple things with a very simple set of rules can do wonderful things: spawn more of them, modify themselves, do logical operations, even create Turing machines. I suspect much more can be

Introduction Many embedded systems use sensors that combine an accelerometer and a gyroscope. Quadcopter is one of the examples of that. Already-built cheap toy-like quadcopters are available on e-bay around at $25~$30, but many hobbyists and avid AVR programmers build their own quadcopters. We thought building our own quadcopter would give us a good opportunity

Introduction Our project is to make a color video game that runs primarily on the ATmega 1284P. To do this, we adhered to the NTSC standard for color video. The sync signals used for NTSC are generated on the ATmega 1284P itself, and all game logic is implemented on the microcontroller as well. To actually
