Analogue to Digital Conversion

Analogue to Digital Conversion on an ATmega168

Many AVR microcontrollers are capable of doing Analogue to Digital Conversion. The ATmega168 has 6 ports (8 ports on the SMD packages) that can be used for analogue input. This tutorial shows you how. The circuit The Breadboard layout is based on the Atmega8 breadboard circuit which is described in Atmega8 breadboard circuit Part 1 and Atmega8 breadboard circuit Part …

Wireless PICAXE based water tank level sensor (1)

Wireless PICAXE-based water tank level sensor

Over the last few months I have prototyped and built a water tank level sensor for my 9000L rain water tank. The design is based entirely on Silicon Chip’s PIC-Based Water-Tank Level Meter, but instead of programming PICs, I prototyped using an arduino, and built the final version using PICAXE microcontrollers. The sensor consists of …

Wireless Communication

Wireless Communication Using Cheap 433MHz RF Modules and Pic Microcontrollers. Part 2

On the first part of this instructable, I demonstrated how to program a PIC12F1822 using MPLAB IDE and XC8 compiler, to send a simple string wirelessly using cheap TX/RX 433MHz modules. The receiver module was connected via a USB to UART TTL cable adapter to a PC, and the data received were displayed on RealTerm. …
