Burning Arduino Bootloader with AVR USBASP
This article shows the simplest way to burn the Arduino’s bootloader fimware to the ATMEGA328P on arduino board.
Control and Monitor via SMS
By WW Kong (RH2T Magazine Vol.7, Dec10) In volume 5, we discussed about Smart Home technology. One of the features of Smart Home is that we can control the household appliances and monitor the condition of our house remotely by just using a mobile phone. This is no rocket science and can be easily …
Getting Started with SKPIC32
SKPIC32 is designed to support Microchip’s most advanced 32-bit PIC MCU (at the time of this writing). Unlike others SK series, Cytron has soldered 100-pin surface mount packages of PIC32 MCU, PIC32MX795F512L, on the board by default.
How to program Arduino by using USBasp without bootloader
By using USBasp, we are able to download the program directly to the Arduino Duemilanove board or others AVR microcontroller without pre-program bootloader. AVR USBasp is a USB in-circuit programmer and it can use to program most of the ATmel AVR controllers. It simply consist of an ATMega8 and a couple of passive components such as resistors, capacitors, LEDs and ect. The programmer uses a firmware-only USB driver and there is no special USB controller is needed. In this tutorial, we will show how to modified the Arduino Software so that you can use it to program AVR microcontrollers without pre-program bootloader.
How RC Servo Works?
Since many students and hobbyists are using RC servo in their projects, let’s take a look at the RC servo (servos for short). The purpose of this information is to give an overview of how servos operate and how to communicate with them.
PINGUINO
Pinguino: A set of tools that works with Microchip USB chips. Similar to the popular Arduino, Pinguino has some advantages. It utilizes the USB MCU to provide USB bootloader function, saving the cost and trouble of using USB to UART converter chip.
How to create PIC16F/PIC18F/dsPIC30 project and program the PIC using MPLAB IDE
In this tutorial, we will show the steps on how to start and complete a project for PIC with MPLAB IDE.
Getting Started On Graphical User Interface GUI
The main purpose for this project is to show how to get start on Graphical User Interface (GUI). A graphical user interface (GUI) is one of the ways to interface between computer and human which can manipulated by mouse or a keyboard. A combination of an input device such as mouse, and visual representations of the workspace and tasks, the user able to interace with the computer or laptop in a manner similar to physical manipulations available in the real world.
Arduino Tutorial
Arduino is a tool for making computers that can sense and control more of the physical world than your desktop computer. It’s an open-source physical computing platform based on a simple microcontroller board, and a development environment for writing software for the board. Arduino can be used to develop interactive objects, taking inputs from a variety of switches or sensors, and controlling a variety of lights, motors, and other physical outputs. Arduino projects can be stand-alone, or they can be communicate with software running on your computer (e.g. Flash, Processing, MaxMSP.) The boards can be assembled by hand or purchased preassembled; the open-source IDE can be downloaded for free. The Arduino programming language is an implementation of Wiring, a similar physical computing platform, which is based on the Processing multimedia programming environment.
SK40C TUTORIAL
SK40C + PIC16F887 STARTER KIT BEGINNER GUIDE
——————————————————————————–
SK40C is another enhanced version of 40 pins PIC microcontroller start up kit. It is designed to offer an easy-to-start solution for PIC MCU user. Users are able to utilize the function of PIC by directly plugging in the I/O components in whatever way that is convenient to them. With UIC00B connector on board, user can start developing projects and have fun with this kit right away. This kit comes WITHOUT PIC microcontroller to provide the freedom for user to choose PIC model.
