Resources

Here is a list of resources to help get started in electronics.

Couple of Project Blogs:

  • Semifluid – Intersting projects like RGB LED Controllers.
  • Ladyada.net – Very useful site with a bunch of tutorials and projects mentioned by Make Magazine.
  • Evil Mad Scientist Laboratories – Good projects here too as well as basic info on how to program an AVR chip.

Coding Resources:

  • avr-libc – Reference for the C library used for programming ATMEL chips.
  • WinAVR – Development environment that includes AVRDude.
  • AVR Notes – Random notes and pin layouts for some AVR chips.
  • Howto use pin change interrupts – Useful tutorial for how to get input for switches and buttons on the attiny2313.

Tools

  • AVR Fuse Calculator – Useful for the rare occasions when you want to change something like clock source and speed on your AVR chip.

Source Examples:

  • MiniPOV3 – Uses 8 pins to blink some LEDs. Simple starter code. Look for the firmware section.

Circuit Resources:

  • Electonics – Some electronic circuit schematics.
