The software was next. Using the Arduino IDE, I implemented a simple menu system that allowed me to enter the relevant facility and CardID data directly from the keypad. I also provided a way of displaying the data using the LEDs that I mounted on ...
So the next step was to identify how to pretend to be a card - I wanted a card that I could type a card number into, so it had to have a microprocessor on it, was well as a keypad to allow the data to be keyed in. The Atmel ATmega8 manipulates the ...
RFID projects have been pretty prominent recently, ranging from projects here in Instructables, to our local Silicon Chip magazine in Australia publishing a RFID door lock project in their November issue. Even I recently purchased a RFID door lock ...
Part 1 - Features, Schematic and Demonstration Seeeduino Description Seeeduino is Arduino compatible board based on Atmel AVR ATmega328. Its design is based on Diecimila scheme, 100% compatible to its existing program, shield and IDEs. On the ...
Description A customizable Breathalyzer that talks and tells you how much you’ve had to drink. It’s also open source and can easily be modified with your own text on the LCD screen and audio MP3 files. When tethered to a PC with a USB ...
This is the page for the MakerBot watch. It's a portable and fashionable arduino environment that you can take with you. It also tells the time. Specs: Atmel Atmega328 chip with Arduino bootloader on it. 6 pin header for bootloading. Also includes ...
Overview: The Voxel Shield is an Arduino Sheild (or expansion board) used for controlling large numbers of LEDs. The Voxel Shield can drive up to 512 LEDs, making it possible to make an LED cube up to 8x8x8 voxels, or an LED screen of 64×8 ...
The final part of this series of blog posts will present some open source software that you can use to exploit the new memory space. You can download the library source code from my downloads page. The xmem library I’ve put together a ...
Pin mappings Here’s how the Arduino maps the xmem pins. As you can see they’re all conveniently placed in a block at the end of the board. That will make it easy for me to design a PCB that just plugs straight in. Thanks go out from me ...
Often when prototyping with an Arduino you run into the memory limitations inherent in a microcontroller programming environment. The Arduino Mega series goes a long way to solving the program size issues, offering as it does 128Kb and 256Kb ...
