Little Robots: Tutorial on building telepresence toys
Tony Thompson designed these Little Robots to help keep in touch with his fiancé.
Simavr, an AVR microcontroller simulator
Enjoy programming AVR microcontrollers, but wish there was a better way to debug your programs then blinking lights?
Arduino robot platform
This looks like a huge robot army of fun! Four wheel drive robot with dual h-bridges controlling four motors for differential steering. ATmega168 microcontroller running at 16mhz. Arduino shield compatible headers to allow for stackable shields and protoboards. Zigbee socket for wireless bootloading or USB for wired programming. Quadrature encoders on each side for dead […]
Programming AVRs with Eclipse
MightyOhm points out this tutorial covering some basic setup for using the Eclipse programming software with AVR chips. If you’re not familiar, Eclipse is a cross-platform open-source development environment that uses plugins to expand compatibility with different coding languages. The AVR plugin can be found here and the software can even be configured to make […]
HOW TO – use Arduino as a high voltage programmer
From the MAKE Flickr photo pool If you should accidentally disable the reset pin while programming an AVR chip, you’ll lose the ability to rewrite to it using common ISP programming devices. To make the chip writable once again, you’ll need a ‘high voltage programmer’ that runs off of 12V. With an Arduino and some […]
DIY Gameplay on the Mignonette AVR platform
Evil Mad Scientist Labs introduces the Mignonette AVR gaming platform, developed by Rolf van Widenfelt, Mitch Altman, and EMS’ own Windell Oskay – The Mignonette is designed to be easy to assemble, and uses a rather minimal set of components– the AVR microcontroller, the LED display, and a pair of ULN2003A transistor driver chips for […]
