WiLoader : The WiFi Programmer for Arduino & AVR
https://www.electronics-lab.com/wiloader-wifi-programmer-arduino-avr/
The new generation of programmers that use WiFi instead of cables. Program, control and monitor Robots, AVR and Arduino over WiFi. Have you ever thought of programming wirelessly ? WiLoader is the answer. But HOW ???? WiLoader easily connects to your WiFi network, then you can program your AVR, Arduino boards, Robots and other targets […]
A miniature persistence-of-vision board
https://www.electronics-lab.com/miniature-persistence-vision-board/
axio.ms published an update of the board and firmware of their SMD POV display. This device is simply 8 bright SMD LEDs and an AVR uC and makes use of the Persistence of Vision effect. You wave it about, and it writes messages in the air, with no wires, liquids or unpleasant bending! Some would […]
AVR vs PIC: The case of the candle
https://www.electronics-lab.com/avr-vs-pic-case-candle/
A self-igniting candle implemented using AVR and PIC microcontrollers. This project has two variations, one using an ATTiny25, the other using a PIC12LF1822. In a series of minimalistic devices, this electronic candle periodically measures ambient light levels. Once it detects nightfall, it self-ignites and burns for three hours, flickering as a candle does. The flicker […]
ATMEGA328 Component Tester
https://www.electronics-lab.com/component-tester-2/
baweja_akshay @ instructables.com has build a ATMEGA328 component tester that is able to test Resistors, Capacitors, Inductors, BJT, FET, Thyristors and more. Coming upon COMPONENT TESTER so it can test almost everything, obviously not the power components because they require more current and power which our AVR Microcontroller couldn’t handle !! Oh yeah, I forgot to […]
ESP8266 weather display – work in progress
https://www.electronics-lab.com/esp8266-weather-display/
Markus Hirsch is working on a ESP8266 weather display using an AVR mcu and an OLED display: This is a little weather monitor. It has a 2.2″ color display and is powered by an AVR and the ESP8266. The AVR controles the display. The ESP has a custom firmware written in the Arduino IDE and […]
AVR Programmer Shield
https://www.electronics-lab.com/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 […]

https://www.electronics-lab.com/arduino-ide-1-6-6-now-available-for-download/
Arduino IDE latest version is ready for download. New features include the arduino-builder tool for command-line fans, a nifty Serial plotter that should help with visualizing sensor readings and tons of bug fixes. From the Arduino blog: Today we are very proud to release Arduino IDE 1.6.6 and updated cores for all supported platforms (AVR […]
Rad tolerant megaAVR MCU for space & avionics applications
https://www.electronics-lab.com/rad-tolerant-megaavr-mcu-for-space-avionics-applications/
by Graham Prophet @ edn-europe.com: Atmel ATmegaS128 AVR microcontrollers are now produced in space-grade quality, including latch-up immunity, ceramic packaging and extended temperature range for next-generation of space applications. AtmegaS128 – the first µC Rad Tolerant device for Atmel – delivers full wafer lot traceability, 64-lead ceramic package (CQFP), space screening, space qualification according to QML […]
AC energy metering board using an Atmel 90E24 energy metering chip
https://www.electronics-lab.com/ac-energy-metering-board-using-an-atmel-90e24-energy-metering-chip/
Steve Rodgers writes: Here’s my latest project. Its an AC energy metering board using an Atmel 90E24 energy metering chip. The board can either take an ESP8266-12 and run a native C application, or the ESP8266-12 can be omitted, and an external microcontroller can be used to talk to the Atmel 90E24 energy metering chip.

Transparent ESP8266 WiFi-to-Serial Bridge
https://www.electronics-lab.com/transparent-esp8266-wifi-to-serial-bridge/
jeelabs @ github.com has written a firmware for ESP8266 that enables it to talk to RS232 of your mcu via WiFi and also programm your mcu via WiFi. He writes: This firmware connects an attached micro-controller to the internet using a ESP8266 Wifi module. It implements a number of features: transparent bridge between Wifi and […]
