The high-performance Microchip picoPower 8-bit AVR RISC-based microcontroller combines 8KB ISP flash memory, 512-Byte EEPROM, 512B SRAM, 12 general purpose I/O lines, 32 general purpose working registers, an 8-bit timer/counter with two PWM channels,??two 16-bit timer/counters with two PWM channels, internal and external interrupts, an 12-channel 10-bit A/D converter, 2 On-chip analog comparators, 2 full duplex USARTs with Start Frame wake up from power down, master/slave SPI serial interface, slave I2C serial interface, programmable gain stage (1x, 20x, and 100x) for 12 differential ADC channel pairs, programmable watchdog timer with internal oscillator, internal calibrated oscillator, and four software selectable power saving modes. The device operates between 1.7-5.5 volts. By executing powerful instructions in a single clock cycle, the device achieves throughputs approaching 1 MIPS per MHz, balancing power consumption and processing speed.
“This project describes a simple GPS module which you can interface to via I2C. It uses an ATtiny841: Introduction Incorporating GPS into a project is quite daunting. First you have to parse the NMEA sentences from the GPS module you …
“Traffic lights are all around us, and they seem simple enough but are they really? Real traffic lights can be a very complicated system because it requires sophisticated control and coordination for smooth and safe traffic. The traffic light I …
