Recommended Blog 4 - Vassilis Serasidis


- This blog is belong to Mr.Vassilis Serasidis
- It has many good project based on atmel microcontroller.
- Some of his interesting project is :
- Generic experimental AVR board - Infrared remote control receiver - USB AVR In-System-Programmer - AVR based oscilloscope - 2 channel RF remote control - SMS remote control - Visual Basic & AVR serial interface

Tutorial 11 - Using the AVR Analog-Digital Converter


- This tutorial will show on how to do an analog-digital conversion with AVR microcontroller.
- AVR will receive data from the it's serial port.
- Then the AVR does a Analogue to digital conversion on channel 0.
- Then transmits the results back via the serial port in ascii hex.

Tutorial 10 - Quickstart Tutorial for ATMEL AVR Microcontrollers


- The goal of this tutorial is to get you up and running as quickly as possible.
- You can get to exploring and modifying on your own without having to fiddle with hardware, software, parts, or settings.
- It's suitable and recommended for beginner microcontroller player.

Recommended Project 9 - Inertial GPS with an ATMega 128


- This project was conducted by the student of Cornell University.
- This project's goal is to determine the user's position with a commercial GPS system aided by MEMS accelerometers and gyroscopes.
- The additional MEMS sensors allow for prediction of the user's movement in between and in absence of the absolute GPS updates.
- The primary use of this system would be for in-car GPS where velocities are relatively high (>~1 m/s).

Recommended Blog 2 - Reverse Engineering of ATmega169


- Those people at Flylogic Engineering has done a good and adorable job in reverse engineering method.
- Below is some of their artwork.
  
- Their feeling of curiosity lead them to tear down TQFP package for review.
- Delayering the device is one of the steps in analyzing any substrate.

Recommended Project 7 - AVR Thermostat


- This thermostat is built around an ATMega164P and a TC1047A temperature sensor.
- It controls your furnace and air conditioner.
- It is not programmable, although it has a clock and is capable if some additional code were written.
- The unique feature is used of single rotary encoder, for a very simple user interface.

Tutorial 9 - Example using the two-wire interface (TWI)


- The two-wire interface consists of two signal lines named SDA (serial data) and SCL (serial clock).
- All devices participating in the bus are connected together.
- The pullups must be small enough to recharge the line capacity in short enough time compared to the desired maximal clock frequency.

Software 2 - PonyProg


- Simple but powerful programmer .
- Serial device programmer software with a user friendly GUI framework available for Windows95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP and Intel Linux.
- Its purpose is reading and writing every serial device.
- Supports I²C Bus, Microwire, SPI eeprom, the Atmel AVR and Microchip PICmicro.
- SI-Prog is the programmer hardware interface for PonyProg.
- With PonyProg and SI-Prog you can program Wafercard for SAT, eeprom within GSM, TV or CAR-RADIO.
- Furthermore it can be used as a low cost starter kit for PIC and AVR.

Recommended Project 6 - ATmega 128 Prototyping Board


- Uses 64-pin ATmega128/1281/2561.
- USB-serial interface via FTDI FT232RL.
- Selectable power (USB/External/VTarget, external could be 5V or 3.3V).
- Selectable clock source (crystal or clock from FT232RL).
- All ports are avaiable at pinheaders.
- Direct interface to GU300 Graphical VFD's.
- Port D, E & F are laid out identical to the STK500.
- Port A, C & G are in a single header, making it possible for future memory expansion.

Recommended Project 5 - simple vga/video adapter


- Owner of this site wanted a design that would be capable of displaying at least 15x15 characters on a VGA monitor using standard VGA frequencies.
- The data itself is to be received by the microcontroller via its USART port.
- All using a 16 Mhz clock for the AVR.
