AVR Microcontroller Projects

In this project we are going to design a simple Alarm clock using ATMEGA32 timers. ATmega32A microcontroller has a 16 bit timer, and we will be using that timer to count the seconds and develop a digital clock.

All the digital clocks have a crystal inside of them which is the heart of clock. This crystal…

In this project, we are going to make a Fire Alert System using ATMEGA8 microcontroller and fire sensor. Fire sensor can be of any type, however we are using IR (Infrared) based Fire Sensor. Although IR based Fire Sensors have some disadvantages mostly of inaccuracy, it is the cheapest and easiest way to detect fire.

In this project we are going to interface LDR with ATMEGA8 microcontroller, and with this we can measure LIGHT INTENSITY in the area. In ATMEGA8, we are going to use 10bit ADC (Analog to Digital Conversion) feature to measure the light intensity.

Am LDR is a transducer which changes its resistance when…

In this project we are going to make a low range ammeter using ATMEGA8 microcontroller. In ATMEGA8, we are going use 10bit ADC (Analog to Digital Conversion) feature to do this. Although we have few other ways to get the current parameter from a circuit, we are going to use resistive drop method, because it’s the easiest and simplest way to get current parameter.

In this tutorial we are going to establish a serial communication between two ATMEGA8 microcontrollers. The communication established here is UART (Universal Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter) type. By this serial communication data can be shared between two microcontrollers, which is required in various embedded systems.

In this project we are going to make a vibration alert system with ATMEGA8 microcontroller. This can also be used as a theft alert system, for that we are going to interface tilt sensor with ATMEGA8. A tilt sensor is shown in below figure.

We can see there is a cylinder in the picture, in that cylinder there will…

In this tutorial we are going to interface a joystick module with atmega8 microcontroller. A JOY STICK is an input module used for communication. It basically makes easy the user machine communication. A joystick is shown in below figure.

The joystick module has two axis - one is horizontal and other is…

In this tutorial we are going to interface FLEX sensor with ATMEGA8 microcontroller. In ATMEGA8, we are going use 10bit ADC (Analog to Digital Conversion) feature to do this job. Now the ADC in ATMEGA cannot take a input more than +5V.  We have also covered how to interface flex sensor with Arduino, you can also check out that tutorial if intrested. 

In this tutorial we are going to interface a rotary encoder with ATmega8 microcontroller.  ATmega8 is atmel's microcontroller series designed for embedded applications. Rotary encoder is used to know the position of movement and angular movement of a motor or axis. It’s a three terminal device usually, with power and ground pin counts to five. A rotary…

In this tutorial we are going to interface a 4x4 (16 key) keypad with ATMEGA32A microcontroller. We know that keypad is one of the most important input devices used in electronics projects. Keypad is one of the easiest ways to give commands or instructions to an electronic system.

…

In this tutorial we are going to interface a 4x2 (8 key) touch keypad with ATMEGA32A microcontroller. We all know keypad is one of the most important input devices used in electronics engineering. This module does not have actual keys, but have specially designed capacitive metal pads, and these pads are very sensitive. So when a person gets in contact with one of…

In this tutorial we are going to discuss and design a circuit for measuring distance. This circuit is developed by interfacing ultrasonic sensor“HC-SR04” with AVR microcontroller. This sensor uses a technique called “ECHO” which is something you get when sound reflects back after striking with a surface.

We know that…
