Arduino-Based SSD uses an ATmega8 & 8 EEPROM chips


https://www.electronics-lab.com/arduino-based-ssd-uses-atmega8-8-eeprom-chips/

“Now, instead of using an SD card to store configuration files, I can simply send commands via the UART interface to the SSD from an external board and store/retrieve data without the extra code overhead.” SD cards are used for storing information when logging data or retrieving files but with microcontrollers that have shorter RAM […]

Atmel ATmega8 – A World-Famous Microcontroller Created By Two Annoyed Students


https://www.electronics-lab.com/atmel-atmega8-world-famous-microcontroller-created-two-annoyed-students/

AVR is a family of microcontrollers developed by Atmel beginning in 1996. These are modified Harvard architecture 8-bit RISC single-chip microcontrollers. The Atmel AVR core combines a rich instruction set with 32 general purpose working registers. Atmel’s ATmega8 comes from the AVR line of microcontroller and it is a gem of the modern maker movement. It is used as […]

ATmega8 Thermocouple Thermostat


https://www.electronics-lab.com/47832-2/

morethanuser.blogspot.com has published a thermocouple thermostat based on ATmega8 and  MAX31855KASA Thermocouple to digital converter IC from Maxim. Here is a circuit, I used popular thermocouple type K and MAX31855KASA+ to interface it. I could also put some op amp, and connect to Atmega8’s ADC, but 31855 is for lazy people and has everything inside, […]

Starling – WiFi enabled LED Display


https://www.electronics-lab.com/starling-wifi-enabled-led-display/

Starling is a modular, Open Source LED display with WiFi connectivity. It comes with a mobile app for easy configuration and usage and has hardware support for Bluetooth. The LED matrix is driven by an Atmega8 microcontroller (MCU), instead of a standard ASIC. This provides a lot of flexibility in the firmware. The firmware detects […]
