Transform a cheap RC Transmitter with Custom Firmware using ATMEGA64 Microcontroller

The Turnigy 9x is a cheap Chinese radio transmitter widely sold by hobby king and other retailers under a variety of names. This is a computerized radio transmitter and is already a great deal for the price ($53 currently) and pretty capable if you can figure out how to use the stock firmware. The microcontroller running the show is …

AM radio transmission using AVR using Atmega324 microcontroller

When you think about building a radio transmitter circuit, the first thing that comes in mind is it requires too many analog components. But wait a minute, this guy demonstrates an AM transmission using a microcontroller. The interesting part is it uses a plant as an antenna for transmission. This project is based on Atmega324 …

Multifunction 330 MHz Remote Control With an ATTINY2313 Simulating the PT2264 Encoder

This 330 MHz remote control sends timed sequences of control pulses to accomplish complicated tasks. You can probably tell that I used a lot of solder flux on this board. Lots of flux not only helps the solder wet to the copper, but it also greatly reduces solder bridges. You can probably tell that I …
