AVR (AT90S2313) composite PAL colour bar generator -  I started this project 3 weeks ago, because I was wondering " is that possible, some AVR MCU to create simple colour bars? " At the beginning, I  believed that it's easy.  So, I asked some people who knew more about PAL composite video signal.  The first idea was to work with 8.867238 MHz crystal    (2 times the color carrier) .  When I read about PAL video composite signal creation, I saw that if you want to product colors entire-in-software you must create the color-carrier    (4.43 MHz) , changing 4 times the phase of color-carrier    (one time for each color) , to show 4 colours.  Except that, you have to change the color-burst from 135 deg to 135+90= 225 deg. __ Designed by © Vassilis Serasidis

AVR 8 & 20 pin programming adapter  -  Okits not pretty, but its practical.  The 20 pin connector at the far right is left over from a diffferent project and is no longer used.  This adaptor lets me program 8 or 20 pin DIP devices using the In-System Programmer    (ISP) described in Atmel's AVR910 application note.  This circuit provides power and clocks for the part to be programmed and power to the ISP circuit.  When programming 8 pin devices, the part is positioned toward pins 1 and 20 of the socket such that the 8 pins of the chip occupy the pins 1, 2, 3, 4, 17, 18, 19, abd 20 of the programming socket.  In the case of an 8 pin part being programmed, the SPST switch that grounds pin 4 must to be closed.  Conversely, when programming a 20 pint part, the switch on pin 4 must be open so the crystal can be used for the clock for the part being programmed.   __ Designed by Dick Cappels

AVR ATMega8 board for PLL MC145170 -  This board allow to manage a FM transmitter including a Phase Locked Loop    (PLL) on a serial bus    (SPI) like a MC145170.  A current frequency is memorized in EEPROM to configure PLL at power up.  Three auxiliairy frequencies are available for maintenance function and/or HF adjust.  A local interface include 4 keys and a LCD display enable to modify transmitter parameters.  This board can be completely drived from a serial link RS232    (19200 Bds, 8b data, 2b stop, no parity) .  A temperature sensor enable to control working temperature and 2 analog input are used for HF power measure    (Forward and Reflected) .  Information about TOS protection activation is processed by this board to inform user    (local and remote) on a TOS Alarm.

AVR Firmware Monitor Program -  Works on AVR controllers with RAM and a hardware UART.  This code is easily modified to integrate with ROM applications to provide the ability to monitor and interact with ROM applications via an terminal simulation program over an RS-232 port.  It can also be used to stimulate and monitor I/O to aid in debugging hardware.  It is very heLPFul to be able to look around at memory, I/O and peripherals, and change things inside a running controller.  If you adapt this to a controller with a stack pointer that is more than 8 bits wide, be sure that both registers in the stack pointer, both spl and sph, are initialized.   __ Designed by Dick Cappels

AVR In-Circuit Programmer -  The programmer is very simple to build.  It contains one IC and a couple of connectors.  As you can see below, with some ingenuity it is possible to squeeze all the circuitry into a DB25 connector shell.  The IC can be a 74HC244 or a 74LS244.  The more normal means of construction is with a small circuit board, with the DB25 connector mounted on one edge, and a header to connect the ribbon cable.  The programmer is designed to work with all the AVRâ„¢ family micros, and with the Atmel "ISP" programming software.  

AVR ISP Programmer -  This board can program an AVR microcontroler ATMEL    (ATmega8, ATMega32,) from a parallel printer LPT1 using ISP functionality In System Programming.  This programming type can program and/or configure microcontroler directly on the target board without rmoving device and put it on a separate programmer.  This board is compatible with programming software "PonyProg".

AVR Programmer -  To program some AVR microcontroller unit    (MCU) you will need an AVR programmer.  The better way to do that, is to buy some development kit like STK-500.  This kit have the advantage to give you serial port, LCD connector, SRAM socket, 8 switches, 8 LEDs, connectors for all of the ports of MCU and more, to one board.  I suggest to beginners, to start working with STK 500 or some else development system, it will help them very much.  For the people that are want to program only one piece of AVR, to make some circuit from this site and they don't want to spend money for any development kit, the solution is this ultra low-cost AVR programmer.  

AVR Programmer (#268) -  The ATMEL AVR programmer works with the Windows program "Ponyprog" which works under 95, 98, XP, and can be found at http://www.  lancos.  com/prog.  html On board the AVRs that can be programmed are those in the schematic.  For other members of AVR family or the rest programmable ICs that Ponyprog can program, there is the J1 connector    (CON10) which allows expanding the programmer's hardware.  See Ponyprog's site for other's ICs Ponyprog circuits.  The JUMP1 jumper is there to connect the crystal's circuitry to the 8- pin AVRs or to disconnect it.  Some AVRs have internal RC oscillator and an external XTAL is not allowed or needed.  

AVR Programmer (#270) -  The AVR family of `micro-controllers'    (uCs) have their own, non-volatile memory; your program and data are safe, even if all power is lost.  These chips also contain most of what is needed to program them.  If you connect an AVR to the parallel port of a PC loaded with the right software, a `programmer', then PC and uC will happily talk each other through the procedure.  Uploading a program to the chip takes just a few seconds and very little hardware.  It can even be done while the uC is `in-circuit', sitting in the apparatus you want it to control.  A program already in the chip can be erased by the same `programmer'; there is no need for ultra-violet light or a special power supply.  

AVR Programmer (#449) -  This is a ery simple serial ISP progammer for AVR microprocessors.  The schema can be found here.  It is Sample Electronic Programmer compatibile and can be used with Bascom, WinAVR etc.  Previously I used programmer with only 330 ohm resistors in series with MOSI, RESET and SCK.  It worked quite good, but in new version I used buffers to improve separation between LTP and AVR.  In plans full galvanic isolation using optocouplers.  

AVR Programmer-DIY -  This simple AVR Programmer will allow you to painlessly transfer hex program to most ATMEL AVR microcontrollers without sacrificing your budget and time.  It is more reliable than most other simple AVR programmers available out there and can be built in very short amount of time.
