Using the popular Bluetooth Bee, Legwinskij has demonstrated a method of uploading Arduino sketches wirelessly using a Bluetooth-enabled PC. Although the process is not entirely automated at this stage, it will be a project worth monitoring - as once the...
Although many people try and investigate the actions of others using the Internet, cracking passwords and so on, nothing beats good old fashioned espionage and with that in mind is this FM radio transmitter. Naturally it has other applications such...
With the knowledge that an ATtiny2313 can generate simple VGA video signals, the team from EOSystems have designed and published the details for a small and useful VGA monitor tester. Working with resolutions up to 1280x1024 @ 60 Hz the...
Software engineer Kerry Wong as designed and documented an LC meter (that's inductance and capacitance) that also measures freqency. It is based on the ATmega328 microcontroller and uses Arduino libraries for the end results. This is an easy project to...
Using a simple circuit based on a Atmel ATmega168 you can build a simple video game system that allows playback through a television or composite video monitor. The games included with the source code are Snake and Tetris, for example:...
By using some Meccano, an Internet-connected Arduino board and a variety of electronics, you can create your own web-controlled webcam that can be rotated over the web, or also locally using a thumb joystick. The purpose for doing so is...
For those looking for a simple and fun AVR-based project - the tinyPOV may be your solution. Based on the ATtiny2313 and after uploading the prorgram software, the tinyPOV allows you to enter the words or LED pattern to display...
This can only be described as either something any train enthusiast would love to have, or a great annoyance to those who don't understand the fascinating with wheels on steel. Either way, it's a load of fun and would make...
AVR enthusiast Kio has described a stylish and useful digital egg timer based around an ATtiny2313. What makes this different is the use of the low-power mode of the AVR as the speed is down to 1MHz. Furthermore the use...
