Reflow Soldering Oven

The Reflow Soldering Oven with LCD Display using ATmega32

Introduction Our project consists of making a reflow soldering device using a normal toaster oven with a graphical LCD display for control and GUI. Soldering is an important and difficult task for custom printed circuit board design especially for integrated circuits that come as chip packages that are impossible to solder by hand. This is …

Power your Arduino/AVR with a Hand-Cranked Battery Using Atmega

If you’ve ever wanted to power your Arduino or AVR from a battery for development testing (batteries have different power delivery qualities than, say, transformed AC or even a regulated wall wart in DC) testing but were tired of going through batteries (Hey, I admit I’ve sucked batteries dry in hours because of a slipped-up design before …

Power Your Arduino From Your Car using AVR microcontroller Using Atmega

The Arduino — and AVRs in general — have a wide range of power supply options ranging from around 1.8V to 5.5V. The choice of voltage is usually determined by the desired clock speed or power consumption requirements. The Arduino and its many variants have power jacks that allow connections from big, clunky “wall warts.” …

Rechargeable Battery Capacity Tester using ATMega168 microcontroller

Do you have a pile of AA rechargeable batteries in your drawer? Some are old, some are new, but which sets would you bring with your camera on your next trip, and which ones are past their useful life? I like using rechargeable batteries, but I’m certain that some of them are not living up to …

Interfacing Atmel AVR with Graphics Liquid Crystal Displays (GLCDs)

AVR SED1520 Library This is a C-library for avr-gcc/avr-libc to access SED1520-based graphics-LCDs. The modules used to develop the library only support “write to LCD”, read-modify- write on the display RAM is not possible. So this Library uses a “frame buffer” which holds the display-content in the AVR’s SRAM. For a 122*32 pixel display around 500 …
