Hello Friends,

Welcome to my web portal. After my long play with the amazing little chips called microcontrollers, I decided to help all those who are also interested. I knew that the information on the net was very scattered and a beginner soon find himself/herself lost. So I came up with this !!! I decided to keep things simple,organized and in one place. I have tried to go in such a manner that a complete beginner to the subject may keep up. If you are having any types of problems or just want to help others please join our forum . Also check out our shop.

If you find this site useful please drop a comment or e-mail me, I would be glad to hear from you.

    Hi,
    The ATmega169P does not have a USB interface. Maybe you are talking about some development board. It may be having a USB to Serial Convertor by using a FT232 chip.

    If you can tell me if you have the chip only or any board I can help.

    dear Mr. Avinash,
    In the avr tutorial you have shown a target board for ATmega8. But i want for AT mega 32L. Kindly send or publish the schematic for it. I am just a novice at MCUs.Also tell the correct oscillator crystal for it.

  • By Avinash - Reply

    @ronie

    The schematic will be same for ATmega32L you have to find proper pins for Vcc,GND,AVcc,AGND, XTAL1,XTAL2, reset etc using the pin configuration given in start of the datasheet. The rest is same. Or you can go for a

    http://xboard.extremeelectronics.co.in/
    which is a readymade dev board with many features. And combined with our USB AVR Programmer you will jump start AVR programming withing hours!

    dear Mr. Avinash,
    Its a great job that you are providing the hard to find electronic components to we electronics enthusiasts. But I want to give you a suggestion regarding addition of one more feature in your valueable service. When we create any big electronic circuit then every time it is not possible to cut the connections of vero board and do the job. It would be of great help if you start designing and sending PCB as per customer’s requirements.You can collect the design by asking customer to send a scan copy of the PCB layout and then do as per need.
    regards.

    Thanks Adhiraaj For you suggestions.

  • By adhiraaj - Reply

    so whenever you will be starting the pcb designing service then kindly let me know as i am about to get my hands into a C band and S band sattelite receiver. As we are in college it is not possible for us to get any equipments and place them somewhere.

    hi avinash now i am using atmega 32 i dumped usart program .its not working i am using 8MZ crystal.if its new ic its default low fuse byte 1 mZ for internal RC oscillator. Now i want to set fuse byte for 8mz external oscillator which value i have to use please help me out..

  • By Avinash - Reply

    Hello Kiran
    🙂

    New ICs are shipped with Fuse Setting to use the internal 1MHz crystal. To configure it to use external crystals you have to set the FUSE bits. Pls see the following page for fuse bits setting for external crystals

    http://forum.extremeelectronics.co.in/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=24

    It is valid for enabling external crystals greater thean 1MHZ on ATmega8,ATmega16 & ATmega32

    Pls tell me which programmer software are you using so that I can tell u how to set fuse bits correctly coz work settings can BREAK ur MCUs !!!

    ill the MCU work…..I am trying to develop a motor control using L293D IC…..what are general problems i will face….i am new to this…

  • By Avinash - Reply

    @Adhiraaj

    Set crystal as 12MHz. Remember you also have to set the fuse bits see this 🙂
    http://forum.extremeelectronics.co.in/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=24

    To instruct the MCU that external crystal is now available.

    If you tell compiler that u are using 16 Meg crystal it will configure all libraries according to it (lcd,usart,spi,timers etc). And those components will not function properly. Specially those that require critical timing.

    Have Fun 🙂

Please tell me how should I do it ?LCD is working good.TSOP1738 is connected at INT1(PD3).How can i debug the source code. Please send me more details of this projects.

    Abhishek

  • By Avinash - Reply

    I don’t think ATmega8 has internal osc of 12MHz. The max is 8MHz. Please use the following fuse settings and use a 12MHz (or 16 MHz) Crystal. Please compile the code with proper CPU speed settings.

    NO NEED TO DEBUG THE CODE,IT IS 100% ALRIGHT.

    Only timing problem.

    wrong… (PIND && 0b00000010) evaluates to true if noth expressions are non-zero which doesnt make sense…

    (PIND & 0b00000010) masks PIND with the binary expression and is true only if second PIND of D port is non-zero which makes sense…

  • By chandan tiwary - Reply

    hi avinash and jayanth,
    i was going through the tutorials for timers by avinash.he has given an example for setting up the TIMER0,which is as follows:
    //prescaler = FCPU/1024

    TCCR0 |= (1<<CS02)|(CS01);

    here if prescaler is FCPU/1024,that means,the TCCR0 will be 00000101,if i m not wrong…but above calculation sets CS02 as 1 and oring is done with CS01.the result comes out to be 00000110.and for this calculation, the prescaler set is:
    external clock source on PIN T0.clock on falling edge.
    but i think the statement should have been..

    TCCR0 |= (1<<CS02)| (CS00);

    for the prescaler to set to FCPU/1024,that sets the TCCR0 register to 00000101.

    i donot know if i have done any mistake in calculation or my bit-wise shifting fundamental is wrong,,but please have a look at it and please help me out
    i m waiting for ur reply.

    Hi,
    I need a little help from u guys.Can anyone plz tell me that how can i store my voice data in the eeprom of ATmega32 in running time?

    • By Avinash - Reply

      @Salman

      Nice Idea! But voice data demand large storage. The lowest quality audio storage is 8 bit sampling @8KHz. I can reproduces frequencies for 0-4KHz. This can store human voice whose range is well within 0-4Khz(Don’t confuse this with the ability of human ears which can hear from 20Hz-20KHz, I am talking about human “mouth”). Even this requeire 8KByte to store a second of voice ! But ATmega32 has only 1KByte of EEPROM. That means you can only store 0.125 sec audio.

      You need some external storage of some kind which has high speed and capacity. Possible candidates are SD/MMC Cards or data flash.

      See Atmel app note on audio storage here

    Well thanx alot for the help.Actually i wanna make a voice controlled car. I was wondering(i think this is a stupid question) that can this sd card interfacing has good processing speed.bcause it can alter tyhe efficiancy of my proj.

  • By Avinash - Reply

    @Salman,
    SD Card has very good speed thats why its used by Mobile Phones and Cameras. They can store data at very high speed. But the limiting factor in ur proj will be the ATmega32 CPU. Actualy for these kind on data intensive and high processing requirement (like voice recognition) a 16bit or 32 CPU is prederred.

    See this link for an example speech recognition system (commercial)

    Hi avinash,
    I put a problem here in front of you but there is no reply or a solution for that. Finally i did some expriment with my serial port programmr and I change zener diode to 3.3v and resistance from 4.7k to 10k.Basically the output current of PC’s COM-port is high cause this problem.

    now when i insert new ATMEGA32 and burn programme.

    thats after 7 times reading, ereasing and rewriting there is no problem with your serial port programmer with ponyprog software.

    now i face new problem with your extreme burner AVR that it reconize USBASP and then it shows following message
    found USBasp on usb port
    powiring on
    powering on failed
    cannot communicate with target chip!
    retry again ….

    what is possible problem? please guide me.

  • By Martin Shoebridge - Reply

    Perhaps a good start would be to read the data sheet and in particular the timers and pwm section. To achieve 60%M/space with a timer, you would need to have 2 separate timer values- one for the pos width, another for the neg width. If you do it with the PWM features, you an do it in one setup routine.

  • By FishBeast - Reply

    I have been programming my atmega8 for some time now and I love the software. Although today when I was trying to change my clock speed from standard 1mhz to 8mhz via the fuse bit tab. I entered the correct value several times and clicked write and the extreme burner said that it was written successfully.

    But when I click read all the settings go back to factory default. In other words it is saying that it is writing but really isnt. So I checked the write box in the corresponding box (low fuse) and then clicked write and now I cannot communicate with my chip anymore.

    Please help.

    • By Avinash - Reply

      @FishBeast

      This is a very classic problem !!!

      *What value you write to the high and low fuse bytes?

      Did u intended to use the internal 8MHz R/C Oscillator or and External 8 MHz crystal ?

      Probably you have done some mistake in calulating fuse values

      Now you ATmega8 is configured for some unknown clock input thus not at all running!!!

      So it can’t accept commands from the programmer

  • By Martin Shoebridge - Reply

    There might be a bug…. if you close the software and open up again and read the fuses, it might be ok.
    You can always solder a xtal across 9/10 (???) to make it work..

  • By Martin Shoebridge - Reply

    Main problem with changing the xtal settings is if you run an RC osc. in your application, and you set the fuse to XTAL. The cpu obviously won’t run !

  • By FishBeast - Reply

    I have since learned that I have set it up for an external crystal. I entered F8 Low and D9 High. I can’t beleive I did that. I should have entered E4 low D9 High for int RC Osc. 8 mhz. I don’t have the necessary stuff to reset it. I read somewhere that you can place a finger over xtal1 and 2 and then re-write it. That didnt work for me.

  • By Martin Shoebridge - Reply

    As above, you will have to solder a xtal across 9/10 OR buy a new device.If you’re in the UK, I can reprogram it for you…
    How come your programmer doesn’t have a XTAL on the board?

  • By Fishbeast - Reply

    My circuit is a test circuit on a bread board. I connected pins 9 and 10 with a wire and tried erasing hex tab and fuse bits tab. Aswell as tried reprogramming hex and tab without sucess. I have another 2 Atmega8’s being shipped.

    Thanks, I received my consignment (my second purchase from your website)today. There is one thing I would like to tell you. Your Goods are really of very HIGH quality and the packaging is eXtremely very nice. I have bought quite a bulk of goods from many different companies and amongst them, your quality and service was the best. You may be a bit harsh to silly people (like me) but you are a good fellow, keep up the good work & God Bless You,

    Awesome tutorials! You are an awesome teacher! The materials posted here is amazing!! I have referred your web portal to many of my friends. Actually, they are kinda interested to learn things. So, I was wondering if I could use the materials posted here to illustrate the basics to them…

      Please clarify how you intend to use the material.

      As all the material in my website is Copyrighted.

      Instead you can just give them the original links to they can read themself (hope they are not spoon-feeding babies)

    Hi avinash ,
    Thanks for your comments actually
    i would like to start with one lightweight material n ofcourse strong for base and 4 wheels i’m using omni wheels 4cm with respect to 4 servos for multi directions and also one velcro sheet it should be a best thing to stick both sides and one remote controller with 9v nimh battery its very gud one when compare with alkaline/other & 6-Channel reciver as i searched and with 6-channel receiver why six channel reciever/pinner means 4-servos +battery pin to insert
    and also
    please have a look @ this
    http://www.societyofrobots.com/
    i have searched about the motors n batteries

    and avinash my research was not completed here i need a rc controller with 6-channel reciever n 9v nimh battery i dint find a u

    Hi Avinash,
    Please tell me whether the xAPI will work for the 20×4 LCDs that I purchased from you ? Actually, my 20×4 LCD cannot display the Last two Lines ! I added the necessary source files and the Header files from the API and all the connections are Correct too ! For example, if I write something like this :
    LCDWriteStringXY(0,0,”String”);
    LCDWriteStringXY(0,1,”String”);
    LCDWriteStringXY(0,2,”String”);
    LCDWriteStringXY(0,3,”String”);
    Do I have any mistake here ? or did I damage my LCD ? Should the xAPI be modified to run with these 20×4 LCDs ? Kindly advise me!

    Thanks for the fast answer.

    Your Graphic LCD library is great. But with a flexible pinout configuration ( in a headerfile ? ) it would be super great.

    • By Avinash - Reply

      @Dietrich

      I have hardcoded the PIN mapping because. I wanted the end applications to be portable. So that applications created by all peoples are compatible with hardware of other people. So they can be shared and run with minimal efforts. Also the library is well ahead of other available and I have many plans to make it even more powerful. But to keep it free of charge I have made is closed source.

    Avinash Ji, hello!
    First of all I thankyou for early replying and uploading the status of my ordered products. I have assembled remote controlled fan regulator, and want to share a problem with the circuit which i have faced. The problem was that when running the fan/bulb(60W) on dim the R13 resistance starts getting heated and within 5 to 10 minutes the capacitor C3 gets shorted and the fan/bulb starts running/glowing at full. I have replaced the resistance R13 with 39 ohm/ 5W and capacitor C3 with .47/ 400V and tested the circuit for an hour and every thing was OK.
    Thanks and with regards,

    Your tutorials are superb! Best thing I’ve seen for AVR; and all in one place! Good job!

    I like Robert Young’s suggestion on doing a tutorial on I2C (maybe include SPI?).

    I’m just starting on MCUs with an AVR32 on at Atmel AT32UC3A3256 development board, together with an AVR Dragon debug board and a 9DoF sensor board. My development system runs Ubuntu 10.10. First project is motor control of four small DC motors for a quad-copter. Since the motors will only run in one direction, does it make sense that I can control them all with just one L293D? I’m thinking of using the Enable1/2 to control the ground legs to the motors and Input1/4 to control the Vss legs. Is this reasonable?

    Hello Avinash,
    I tried to use the C6 pin of Atmega-8 as an input just to try for the first time and hence set the fuse RSTDSBL for that.
    The code run well and C6 is working as an output.
    But after that the IC was not able to get programmed again however the earlier program is still running fine.
    I thought the IC would have gone bad so I burned the same program in another chip and again set the fuse for programming C6 as input and it also succeded but this one also is not getting programmed now.
    Both the chips are new and their program runs well but when I program them again it doesnt work

    Dear Mr. Avinash,
    I recently purchased 40 pin AVR development board with Atmega 16A. When I tried to read Fuse bits through Extreme Burner and studio 5 They gave different result.
    Extreme Burner : Low Fuse 0xFF High Fuse 0xC9and Incase of Studio5: Low Fuse 0x99 High Fuse 0xC1. Why this difference.
    Secondly, I purchased ATmega 16 and 32 Mcs. When I plugged in these Mcs in that board and tried to read fuse bits, the burner says power-on failed.
    As there is no provision to attach files here I sent separate e-mail attaching the snapshots. Can U pl solve my problem. I am new to embedded system and since 2 months I stared this. Thanks. PRG Reddy

    • By Avinash - Reply

      @PRG Reddy,

      In Atmel Studio you are using AVR Simulator as the tool which us reading the simulated AVR chip and not the real chip. Thus it is returning the default values of the fuse bytes.

  • By Nadim Mostafa - Reply

    I programmed my Atmega16A fuse bits with HIGH byte = 11000001(C1) and LOW byte = 11101111(EF). But my micro-controller don’t working now. What is the problem with this, please anyone can give me some advice.
