4×4 Matrix Key-board Interfacing with ATmega32

Here is a project for beginners to interface a 16-key (4×4) keypad with ATmega32 using 8-pins i.e. one port of the microcontroller. This is useful particularly where we need more keys but don’t want to spend more uC pins for interfacing. The 4×4 keypad is a standard one available in the market. I’ve used here one from my earlier project. The LED shown

Thermometer using DS1621 and Nokia 3310 LCD interfaced with ATmega8

I am presenting one application with the Nokia 3310 LCD: Designing a thermometer using DS1621 temperature sensor IC. DS1621 is 8-pin sensor from Maxim, with temp range of -55 to +125 degree C, which can be interfaced with microcontroller over two-wire serial i2c bus. It has operating voltage range from 2.7 to 5.5v. I’m operating it here at 3.3v, same as the one

AVR/Arduino RFID Reader with UART Code in C using Atmega

RFID is the craze, found everywhere – from inventory systems to badge ID systems. If you’ve ever been to a department store and walked through those metal-detector-looking things at the entrace/exit points, then you’ve seen RFID. There are several places to find good information on setting up RFID, and this instructable focuses on installing the Parallax RFID reader (Serial TTL)

How to drive 595 shift registers with AVR hardware SPI using ATmega168 microcontroller

Driving a shift register using an AVR chip’s built-in hardware is really quite easy. Most of their offerings have an SPI module, or Serial Peripheral Interface. A shift register is exactly that, a peripheral device that communicates via a serial line. All we need to do is hook up our connections and use a few
