Introduction Our project measures and analyzes the electromechanical properties of tissue using a probe containing a microarray of electrodes, to aid as a tool in predicting the health of the tissue sample. “Despite significant efforts to develop early detection strategies for breast cancer, the diagnostic efficiency remains poor. Approximately 1 million breast biopsies are performed […]

I love the Atmel AVR microcontrollers! Since building the Ghetto Development System described in this Instructable, I’ve had no end of fun experimenting with the AVR ATtiny2313 and the ATmega168 in particular. I even went so far as to write an Instructable on using switches as inputs, and extended the Ghetto Development System concept to CPLDs. During a recent project, I

The programmer I use is built from a kit I bought at Tuxgraphics. There are several reasons I bought this kit. It is open source, works with avrdude. It connects to USB. It is a lot faster then my old programmer (Programs an ATMEGA8 in about 5 seconds). It is cheap. I bought the kit to support

The DS protocol was designed to provide firmware-based bidirectional host-to-slave inter processor communications for situations in which no hardware solution is available and the host and/or the slave in incapable of tending the interface in real time. The only specialized hardware required is two bidirectional I/O ports on each chip (alternatively two input ports and

For measuring motos speed there can Optical interrupter used like H21A1. This is a device where IR LED and photo-transistor is coupled in to plastic housing. The gap between then allows interrupting signal with opaque material and this way switching the output from ON to OFF. This device can be connected to Microcontrollers ICP pin and

The purpose of this project was to create a simple, portable device that would periodically read sensors and then store the sensor data so it could be retrieved later. The result is the HexiLogger, “hexi” because it can support up to six different sensor inputs and “logger” because it will store the input data on

Introduction We created a handheld mouse device that measures its tilt and then wirelessly transmits the data to a base unit, which is connected to a PC through a USB cable and can be recognized by certain modern computers as an actual mouse. The purpose of this project was to explore the possibility of creating
