August 28, 2012 By: admin Category: Arduino, Control, Microcontroller No Comments →

ZonCoffee is full-featured PID controller package for Arduino and customized for use with espresso machines. It can be used to display espresso machines set point and current temperature information on LCD. You can adjust espresso machines temperature easily via rotary encoder. Other feature is steam and extraction modes with separate temperature targets. The project comes […]

Open Source AVR Temperature Controller

August 13, 2012 By: admin Category: AVR, Control, Microcontroller, Project No Comments →

The open source project allows you to control DC appliances based on the temperature of two thermistor inputs. It uses AVR ATmega48 as main processor. The controller has both green and white LEDs to indicate status. The project output is connected to N-Channel MOSFET, AOD444, for switching with current up to 4A. For higher current […]

AVR Switch Timer

To get better UV expose, Andrianakis has built new Switch Timer that will turn of his UV exposure box after some time. The timer uses ATmega8 as main processor and two 7-segments LED as display. There are two buttons for set and start the timer. When time runs out, microcontroller switches relay and also sounds […]

Control PC Mouse with TV Remote

August 01, 2012 By: admin Category: AVR, Microcontroller, Remote No Comments →

This project shows you how to control your PC mouse using TV remote. It uses V-USB library to implement a low speed software USB port (slave) on AVR microcontroller. No driver is needed in PC side because it uses USB HID class.
