AVR Multimedia Board

When I was able to produce a beep tone using a microcontroller for the first time, I was very proud of myself. Later, I learned how to interface an LCD module to a microcontroller. Those were the days when I was just starting to step into the world of microcontrollers and the little accomplishments that I had always drove me to learn and do something better.

I love sound and graphics very much. I love it even better if I make them work with microcontrollers. That is why I said to myself that I want to build a microcontroller with a touchscreen TFT LCD module and an audio driver. That way, I would be able to do a lot of projects that involves sound and graphics. Hence, the AVR Multimedia Board was born.

Motion Activated Message Display

Recently, I tested the 0832 LED Matrix Board that I purchased from Sure Electronics. Since I have a simple AVR microcontroller breakout board and a PIR sensor that senses motion, I decided to make something fun using the 0832 LED Matrix Board. [Read more...]

LPC1343 Breakout Board

The LPC1343 is a low power ARM Cortex M3 microcontroller targeted for embedded applications. It has 32KB of flash memory and 8KB of SRAM. On-chip peripherals include I2c, SPI, UART, Timers, Interrupts, ADC, USB, etc. It includes both UART and USB bootloader. Believe me, the USB bootloader is cool. [Read more...]

tinyPOV – Yet Another AVR POV Project

This microcontroller project is another version of a persistence of vision or POV toy. It has 8 LEDs and it is powered by ATtiny2313 (AVR microcontroller by Atmel) operating at 2 x AA batteries. This is a tiny toy and it can be carried easily inside your pockets.

Breakout Board Collection

I make a lot of breakout boards that I usually use in my hobby projects. Most are input/output devices but some are microcontroller breakout boards.

Let me share them with you.
