12Abigail Krich | Self-Powered Solar Data LoggerAbigail designed a microcontroller-based, self-powered solar data logger that uses a photodiode to measure solar insolation levels. The system converts the analog signal to a digital value that's stored in flash memory.Download: Krich-198.zip |
20Nick Lott | QuickComsAn MC16C/62P-Based RS-232 AnalyzerAlthough RS-232 is disappearing from new devices, you'll probably have to work with it from time to time. You can connect Nick's M16C/62P-based system to an RS-232 device to determine the correct data rate, wiring, and encoding scheme. You can also use it to monitor a serial link.Download: Lott-198.zip |
26CJ Abate | HTML The Atmel AVR Design Contest 2006 Winners AnnouncementThe Atmel AVR Design Contest 2006 was an excellent opportunity for designers to work with the Atmel AVR family of flash memory microcontrollers and test their design skills against the world's best and brightest engineers. Last February, designers from all corners of the globe started working with the parts and planning their projects. After thoroughly reviewing each submission, the judges awarded prizes to 12 projects based on their technical merit, usefulness, originality, design optimization,and cost effectiveness. |
30Nial Stewart | Multi-Input Temperature LoggerNial designed an FPGA-based multiple-input temperature logger with an innovative USB interface. In this article, he describes the FPGA logic to drive the sensors and the flexible one-pin USB interface used to connect it to a PC.Download: Stewart-198.zip |
40Dhananjay Gadre Pushkar Sareen Subodh Prabhu Suhas Chakravarty | ArbyAn Arbitrary Waveform Generator with a TwistThe Arby is an arbitrary waveform generator that can easily generate any waveform. The eZ80F91 microcontroller-based system enables you to input waveform requirements in the form of an object-based program written in any text editor and transmitted via the Internet.Download: Gadre-198.zip |
46Stuart Ball | Voltage SolutionsHarness the Power of Voltage ConvertersAdding voltages to your designs doesn't have to be a complicated task. Stuart explains voltage converter technology and describes the basic principles behind the use of voltage converters in simple designs. |
Applied PCs50Fred Eady | Dive Into the ZigBee PoolAn Easy Way to Start Moving MessagesYou don't necessarily need a ZigBee stack to move small messages from point A to point B. Fred shows you a simple way to get moving with the ZMD wireless sensor starter kit. |
From the Bench56Jeff Bachiochi | Green EnergyWhat better time than now to get serious about the ways we approach our power and energy consumption needs? Jeff takes a look at "green" technology and describes a few alternative power sources. |
Lessons from the Trenches60George Martin | Hello World ... Want CookieGeorge is on a mission to walk you through the process of creating an embedded system, writing code in C language, and then testing the design. In this article, he takes a fresh look at C language and points you in the right direction. |
67Mark Bereit | The Power of FlashFlash Memory Techniques for Your ToolboxYou use flash memory to store code, but did you know that there are other uses for it? Mark describes several other ways to use flash memory in your embedded designs.Download: Bereit-198.zip |
