Davide Gironi demonstrates his DIY A4 laser engraver made from a scanner and a printer using ATmega328: This “Get Ready For Win98″ Laser Engraving Machine it’s built using an old scanner, and an old printer. A laser engraving machine is a tool that uses lasers to engrave an object. A DIY A4 Laser Engraver using […]

XLR8: Arduino-compatible FPGA-based Application Accelerator


https://www.electronics-lab.com/xlr8-arduino-compatible-fpga-based-application-accelerator/

XLR8 has both an ATmega328 clone and custom accelerator blocks on an FPGA and uses the standard Arduino IDE for programming. XLR8 is a drop-in replacement for an Arduino Uno, but with a twist. It is an Arduino-compatible board that uses a Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) as the main processing chip. The FPGA provides a […]

AVR Programmer Shield

ohneschuh @ instructables.com has build a Arduino Shield that is able to program spare ATmega328 and ATtiny85 mcu using the ISP sketch. Beside my Arduino instructables I also use pure ATmega328 and ATtiny85 microcontrollers. To program them I normally used a breadboard and the ArduinoISP setup with an Arduino UNO or NANO. But this was not the […]

Non-Contact Body Temperature Meter


https://www.electronics-lab.com/non-contact-body-temperature-meter/

One of the most commonly used medical instruments nowadays is the thermometer. The thermometer is used to monitor or measure the body temperature of a sick person. The idea of creating a thermometer started from a device called thermoscope, a thermometer without a scale. Several inventors developed it until Sir Thomas Allbutt invented the first […]

A Xively AMbient QUality MOnitor built on ATmega328

Davide Gironi has build an indoor ambient quality monitor that is able to measure temperature, humidity, noise and brightness and indicate the ambient quality using 4 bi-color LEDs. He writes: The data it is logged to the xively.com platform, and displayed to the user through 4 bi-color leds. It can be used to monitor you […]

Burning Arduino Bootloader on ATMega328 using USBasp Programmer


https://www.electronics-lab.com/burning-the-bootloader-on-atmega328-using-usbasp-programmer/

In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to burn Arduino bootloader on a new ATmega328 using USBasp ISP programmer. Every Arduino Uno Board comes with a microcontroller called the Atemga328P, and they are already pre-program with Arduino Bootloader firmware. Therefore, there is no need to burn Arduino bootloader into those Atmega328P chips again. Here, we will […]

DIY USB Line Power Meter Stick
