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 […]

The Voice of Saturn line of synth kits welcomes a new family member – the Modulator features … […]VCA (voltage controlled amplifier), triangle and square wave generator and AR (Attack / Release) envelope shaper. Together, they can be used to add tremolo or AM (amplitude modulation) effects to audio signals, and also add attack and […]
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 […]
