CREATE FIENDISHLY FUN tinyAVR MICROCONTROLLER PROJECTS

This wickedly inventive guide shows you how to conceptualize, build, and program 34 tinyAVR microcontroller devices that you can use for either entertainment or practical purposes. After covering the development process, tools, and power supply sources, tinyAVR Microcontroller Projects for the Evil Genius gets you working on exciting LED, graphics LCD, sensor, audio, and alternate energy projects.

Using easy-to-find components and equipment, this hands-on guide helps you build a solid foundation in electronics and embedded programming while accomplishing useful--and slightly twisted--projects. Most of the projects have fascinating visual appeal in the form of large LED-based displays, and others feature a voice playback mechanism. Full source code and circuit files for each project are available for download.

tinyAVR Microcontroller Projects for the Evil Genius:

  • Features step-by-step instructions and helpful illustrations
  • Allows you to customize each project for your own requirements
  • Offers full source code for all projects for download

Build these and other devious devices:

  • Flickering LED candle
  • Random color and music generator
  • Mood lamp
  • VU meter with 20 LEDs
  • Celsius and Fahrenheit thermometer
  • RGB dice
  • Tengu on graphics display
  • Spinning LED top with message display
  • Contactless tachometer
  • Electronic birthday blowout candles
  • Fridge alarm
  • Musical toy
  • Batteryless infrared remote
  • Batteryless persistence-of-vision toy

Each fun, inexpensive Evil Genius project includes a detailed list of materials, sources for parts, schematics, and lots of clear, well-illustrated instructions for easy assembly. The larger workbook-style layout and convenient two-column format make following the step-by-step instructions a breeze.

4.0 out of 5 stars Learn and Fun April 24 2011
By Custodio Barcellos - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Very good, despite some erros principally on schematics. It is a introdutory book on C programming for AVR with WinAVR. The good quality book with a lot of photos, illustrations and how to build instructions. The appendix includes a C programming tutorial very simple and some knowledge of C programming are necessary. The tutorial on how to design a PCB is half page tutorial. The authors assume you have a platform for to program the AVRs. The authors uses a Roland MDX-20 for fabricating PCBs this part on configurations of machine are more complete despite I think majority the readers don't afford to buy such machine. This book have a good relation cost benefits. The projects are nice and fun.

5.0 out of 5 stars holy grail of avr Aug 13 2011
By Marc D. Rubin - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
I started with PIC micros and quickly grew frustrated. Then came this book....

At the moment I'm expanding project 2 into a 5 channle rgb color mixer with 3 digit 7 segment displays per channel so I can set the colors via cie color space. I have the adc input sliders set up on a fet so I can control over all brightness as well.

Without this book to jump start me I would have never gotten this project going. Plus!!! Email the authors and they answer questions! Only in the internet age.

Word of warning MAKE SURE TO DISABLE THE DIVIDE BY 8 FUSE unless told not to!!!!!!

Summary: Excellent jumping off point. Excellent written. Good value.......Buy it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Almost lost a star... Mar 14 2011
By drbiker - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
tinyAVR Microcontroller Projects is a wonderful book for those just starting out and for those looking for a few ideas. While it does require a bit of pre-knowledge concerning electronics, it is written for the novice to understand. Unlike other project books for the PIC processors, this one does not just give you the circuit and code, they also provide an explanation of why various parts and choices are made...a wonderful concept. A little math (little more than E=IR) to explain values chosen, what the limits of the processors are, etc. No more guess work if you don't have exactly the same parts they show, or if you want to modify it for your own evil project. With a little humor thrown in to boot, this is a readable and informative book...the authors show that something more than a 'Hello world' project can be fun and easy.
So, why did this book almost lose stars?? The book does NOT provide complete code, parts lists, circuit board drawings, etc. and to actually build the projects the downloads would be really nice. Unfortunately, the web site provided on the back of the book does not even acknowledge the existence of the book, and the other web site, mentioned within the text for every project throughout the book does not exist...well, until today. This evening (March 15,2011) this site now shows a drupal screen informing the site should be up by Mar 20...almost 2 months after the book started shipping.
Alas, I could not convince myself to degrade the book's rating because the publisher couldn't get their act together. By the time the book went out, they should have had at least an info page, but they couldn't even answer my email beyond the auto response their system sends out. So, publisher gets 2 stars, book gets 5.
