Simple 8×8 LED Matrix Board using AVR

I am featuring here a simple project that uses an 8×8 LED matrix and an AVR microcontroller. It is fun to have something like this. Using this, you can make flashing texts, scrolling texts, or any sort of animations that involves texts or graphics. [Read more...]

DIY Digital Thermometer

This project is a digital thermometer that uses a microcontroller with analog-to-digital capability, an analog temperature sensor, and some seven-segment displays. The circuit is pretty simple and it can be powered by a 9-volt battery which makes it very portable.

Please continue to read as I go a bit deeper to the details of what builds this easy project. [Read more...]

8-pin AVR based Mood Lamp

I got a sample of a RGB LED (Red Green Blue Light Emitting Diode). So, I decided to make something fun out of it. Using an 8-pin AVR microcontroller, ATtiny45, I made a simple prototype to control the RGB LED using PWM or Pulse Width Modulation. [Read more...]

USB Development Board

USB has established itself as the new standard for connectivity. That is why USB connectivity has become the “holy grail” of most embedded applications.

Well, let me get straight to the point. If you want to start developing projects with USB interface, you want to have  the  proper development tools. To have the tools that you need, you either have to buy or to do-it-yourself.

If you want to build a USB development board yourself, here is one for you.
