Overview The SmartBlinds system uses a microcontroller to control the angle of a set of miniblinds used at home, in the classroom, or on the job. Using SmartBlinds, a user can more effectively control the light coming into the room, or have an alarm that opens at a specified time. We’ve noticed that despite the …
This is an extremely simple “Hello World” C++ code for the ATMega32 that you can follow using AVR Studio. You do not need any hardware such as the chip or even the ISP programmer cable because AVR Studio simulates the inputs and outputs, and you can see for yourself how the ports behave. This is …

How to make a shark puppet with blinking LED lights for its eyes! The two LED lights are going to turn on when the shark’s mouth is closed the first time, after the first time the lights come on, the LEDs are going to blink when the mouth is closed. Step 1: Preparation Things you …
This board is designed to safely drive a 3.3V microcontroller and connected accoutrements. It supports primary and backup power sources and provides numerous over and under voltage safeguards. The microcontroller here is a bare-bone, no-frills Atmega 328P-PU with no leds, driven by a 16 MHz crystal. An 8-Pin female connector is wired up to the …
Who does not want to have stunning lamp which can display animations and sync with other lamps in the house? Right, nobody. That’s why I made a custom RGB lamp. The lamp consists of 256 individually addressable LED’s and all of the LED’s can be controlled via a smartphone app. Additionally, you …
I love LED chasers. A bunch of LEDs neatly turning on and off on a precise timing – lights running one way, then the other way… It’s relaxing, soothing, and hypnotic. There are so many LED chaser/scanner/sequencer circuits out there, some are made with discreet transistors, some based on logic ICs, and more and more …

The Classic ATtin85-20PU is a very simple project that is also very fun to make. It really is perfect for a parent/child combo because it’s quick! Builds in minutes. But it does teach several electronic hobbyist skills. There is a story behind my decision to become infatuated with signal lights. My friend invited me to …
