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 Avinash
good work your tutorial are very useful
can please provide a link for downloading avr studio 4.0
Hi,
Bittu
ThanX
see
http://www.atmel.com/dyn/products/tools_card.asp?tool_id=2725
for downloading AVR Studio. You need to register before downloading !
Hi Avinash, I have a question: I’m using a Atmel ATmega169P AVR. Could you tell me what I need to do in order to connect the AVR to my computer (the AVR has a USB port) and download programs into it?
hi avinash….
it’s me rakesh….can u remember me..be in contact yaar…
by d way…nice work…just continue it..
@stef
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.
ThanX
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.
@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.
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.
Great site, the AVR tutorials will be very usefull for me! Thank you and keep the good work!
thanks Felipe !!!

Thanks for your suggestion. I have given example program in each topic where required. But sure I will increase the no of example program and also add some complete projects in near future so that they are more helpful.
hey u jus rock man ….keep gng ……happy new year
Hello Raghu,
Thanks a lot !!!
Happy New year to all my friends.
I am very interest to microcontoller program
Hi my friend please look at http://www.mikroe.com
There is a pretty good C Compiler.

I already use mikroC for PIC
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..
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 !!!
I am using Code Vision AVR compiler to program my atmel mega 32 MCU i am adding 12 MHz crstal externally to the circuit.Can you tell me what will be the system clock setting in MHz….willit be 12 MHz or 12+1 MHz.? If I set 16 MHz and put only 12 MHz crystal then w
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…
@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 🙂
Pls use the forum (http://forum.extremeelectronics.co.in) for discussing problems
hi, avinash Thanks for reply for my post . i am using at prog software programmer .if u need any details i will tell u..
i am building a land based robot using mega16 mcu. If the clock setting is 12 MHz and i use externally 12 MHz Xtal then will it work………in the robot manual no help regarding the programming is given……….Only the source code is given……..please help……………There is an MT8870 DTMF based input and L293D output to motor…what are the possible problems that you think…….
@Adhiraaj
You haven’t stated the problem !!! pls give more info. Pls use the forum instead of this page for solving problems.

Hello Abhishek,
Please move this discussion to the forum
http://forum.extremeelectronics.co.in
Please note following
>>Crystal used is 12Mhz or 16Mhz Only.
>>Set the crystal used in AVR studio. Or #define F_CPU 12000000 in top of remote.h
>>Please not the remote used is not of Philips or Sony make. I tested them with BPL/Intex/Mitashi and commonn DVD player remote bought from market (@Rs 35/-). These are NEC encoded RC5 encoded remote wont work.
thanks for reply
Project is still not working.I am giving you more details.
I am using ATmega8 micro controller,WINAVR GUI and same IR remote control as shown in your tutorial video.I am using internal RC oscillator in ATmega8 at 12MHz. Should i calibrate oscillator. 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
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.
This is such a great site. Very good tutorials! Keep up the good work =)

hi
I’m working on RC5 decoding circuit on Atmega16 microcontroller.The project is used to switch home appliances the o/p port set is PORTA.I’m facing a problem where only pin no. 0,1,6 are working rest are showing errors can u suggets me query please.
@Abhay
“rest are showing errors”
what do u mean by that?
Hi, Avinash .what r the diff stages involved in .c file converted into .hex file..
Hei Kiran
If u use Keil Software then i help u…
Because I programming on Keil with C language…
My mail ID is dinesh.gocher@gmail.com
rest means pin number 2,3,4,5 of PORTA are giving error while pin number 0,1,6 of PORTA are working properly.The error pins are giving 5v and 0v continuosly, voltage is not stable at these pins.
Dear Avinash,
i went through your avr tutorials.i found out the following lines..please go thru them
if(PIND && 0b00000010)…..
HERE WE ARE USING THE AND OPERATOR…THEN SHOULD WE USE
“&” OR SHOULD WE USE”&&”.I THINK THEY ARE QUITE DIFFERENT.
SHOULD THERE BE “&&” IN THE LINE ABOVE??
I THINK “&” IS REQUIRED.PLEASE ILLUSTRATE ME TJE CONCEPT.I ALSO WENT THROUGH KANETKAR.THERE ALSO A SINGLE “&” IS USED.
THANKS
REGARDS
CHANDAN TIWARY

yup they are different… ‘&’ is bitwise or operation and ‘&&’ is logical operator..
sorry.. ‘&’ is bitwise ‘and’ operator whereas ‘&&’ is logical ‘and’ operator…
so wat that has been used in d tutorial is rite???or is wrong??
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…
thanks a lot…jaynath
i expect mr avinash to have a correction in his tutorials….

hi avinash…
i m going thru ur tutorials…i m tryimg the dc motor tutorial right now.in the program u have given that the motor will rotate once clockwise and again anti clockwise.but when i connect the motor to the xboard,it is only rotating in one direction after some delays.so can u help me out right now what to do???i m stuck in this concept and not able to move further to timers tutorial.
plz do it soon.bye..
here is the source code i have burnt to the uc.it is the same as u gave in the tutorial.#include

PORTD = 0B00010000;//clock wise
wait();
PORTD = 0B00100000; //anticlock wise
wait();
PORTD = 0;

Hello Chandan,

xBoard uses a slightly different connection to motor. Actually a invertor (CD4069) IC is used so that only a single PIN can drive a Motor!
Please see this

Also please use the forum instead of this page for discussion

avinash,,,if i want to work on humanoid robots or want to build a small one what should i do????from where should i start???what type of microcontrollers and microprocessors will help???will arm help???
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.
thanks

hello avinash,
i made USBasp H/W and it works fine with extream-burner.
i found, if target controller int. RC osc clock is 1MHz, then target controller not supports.
Kindly guide me, how to overcome this problem.
Kunal
hi avinash,
i got answer, there are two jumpers.
one of them is for slow clock (less than 1.5 MHz)with the hepl of same jumper we can program with 1MHz CLK or less than that.

I’m using atmega 16 microcontroller for my project.I’m finding problem to handle two interrupt at a same time.I have used INT0 and INT2 interrupt,but when my controller goes to interrupt service routine of INT2 then interrupt INT1 does’nt work.Please tell me what I do?
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?
@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

SD Card Interfacing tutorial here
http://www.dharmanitech.com/2009/01/sd-card-interfacing-with-atmega8-fat32.html
@ Avinash
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.
@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.
thank you in advance.

hi, thank u for your programmer.
so so so nice and very good
please show me about the which can i progarmming for atmega128.please help me.
I use programmer AVRISP USB with your eXtreme Burner AVR v1.0. there are some problems:
– I use ATmega8/88/8535 with fuse low byte 11100001 (default set by manufacture) programmer can not access to target chip. If I set fuse to 11101111 (Ex Crystal) programmer can access to target chip.
How to access target chip with default fuse ?
Best Regards,
Quang
You need to slow down the programmer so that It can access slower (i.e. Internal Crystal) chip. See programmer hardware documentation for more info.
Hi Avinash,
Your tutorials gave been a great help in building a robot for my Uni project.
However I have one morw question – How do you access the different memories (SRAm, EEPROM and Flash) in an Atmega 162?
I am loading a 5kB program, it gets written completely on to the flash but only about 512 bytes are actually executed.
hi Avinash.
in your responce no 48 ur say Crystal used is 12Mhz or 16Mhz Only but in your tutorial on IR remote interfacing with atmega8 lib it is compatable with 8/12/16Mhz,plez guide me which crystal frq.did i prefer
how can getting to eXtreme Burner PIC v1.0 Launched I’am live in Iraq

Problem…. Target is Mega8515 with 3.6848 Xtal. First time I read, everything is ok…. if I click ‘read all’ again, it says 8515 not found.
To rectify this, I have to disconnect the USB progger then reconnect. Then I can read again. Is this a Bug or not ??
more…. target board is 5V, op sys is win XP.
No such problem with my TINY2313 target.Xtal = 9Mhz, Vcc= 5V
Tried the 8515 target with 11.0592 Xtal, still the same…
More info on the 8515. Removing the ISP cable to the target enables a re-read. Pressing CPU reset on my target does not clear the error.
sir pls send me the circuit diagram and block diagram of project secured wireless data communication(AT89S52)and alsowhole programing used in it with algorithm.
Can write flash to 8515 once. If I then try to program the fuses it says’wrong device. Defintely a bug here..
A very good website u have lunched for us. All AVR uc lovers are being thankful to u…
Good job! your tutorials are great for me, i’m starting with embedded systems and your website is very helpful 😀
Hi avinash,
I am using ATmega8 ISP programmer for ATTINY 2313 development board.I’m using extreme burner software for downloading into the chip.It’s writing the given Hex file into the flash memory,but while reading back the written hex code in the programming time itself it is showing an error(mismatch of location-random address of flash memory)

I want to generate a freqeuncy of around 3.3khz using timer of Atmega32 ( 16 Mhz crystal ) with a duty cycle of 60%. please suggest
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.
Hi Avinash,
There a problem in your page

hai avinash!
I want to know how to remove fuse bit RSTDISBL FROM ATmega8 by using superpro model280u?
I wish to send SMS through a GSM/CDMA modem.
Can you help me with the code?
Since prog language is always ‘C’ it need not be built on any particular chip. Price is the only consideration.
Does any of your existng boards serve the purpose?
well i just want to ask u where can one find fecl3 supplies in india?
Hello Gaurav,
FeCl3 is available with the shops who supplies chemicals to school/college in a city. You may ask your chem lab assistance to get the address. I bought a pound of it for rs120 six years back.
thank you very much……..i hope i get it
sorry i forgot to tell u that the ar tutorials are jus awesome
would be gr8 if i see a tutorial on avr-gcc
Hi avinash
that’s a great job. well done.
I want to use LCD with mega8 and i have only one port (port d) free. may you help me how can i use your lib for my application. Thank you.

Dear Mr Avinash Gupta
There no any good tutorial on Microchip PIC for quite new
beginers.
I like to suggest you that Microchip pic is very popular and
have a lot of flexibility. So plese introuduce free on your web side in very very easy language to understand for innocent beginers.
Thanking you
Yours Truely
J.Kumar
sir,
i am working in avr microcontroller(atmega16),i got a problem that is when i am giving 5v powr supply as input,the output coming according to the program is only 1.5v which is very low,i have checked the input and it is is 5v and output port i have used is portD,need your kind help.please help me in this.
Turn on the port pullups maybe ???
i did udestand whatis pull up.I am giving the input supply as 5v but the out put coming is 2v only(i have checked in portC&d by a led test).
sorry it is did not.
i went thr’ your tutorials on the site, they are very useful. And have help a lot in developing AVR code. NOw i m stuck up with timers.
I basically want to generate a square waveform, i am using following code please go thr’ it.
void interrupt_init()
{
cli();
count = 0;
TCCR0 = 0x01;
TCNT0 = 0;
TIMSK = 0X01;
sei ();
}
ISR(TIMER0_OVF_vect)
{
if( count == 12 && count1 == 1)
{
PORTB = 1<<PB7;
count = 0;
count1 = 0;
}
else if(count == 18 && count1 == 0)
{
PORTB = 0<<PB7;
count = 0;
count1 = 1;
}
else count++;
}
Now, using the following code i getting the required signal at PB7. but when this gets executed the status of PB3 changes ( it goes low).Please suggest. i do not want change in status of PB3. it is connected to other other chip, so please reply
I don’t understand ‘C’ but the error must be in your PORTB statement…..Can you look at the compiled code ????
great job huuuuummmmmmmm
hi
every thing is OK if the flash size SMALLER than 32k ?

hi all
i m using avrdude gui v0.2.0 programmer for atmega 8 -16pu controller
my problem is this gui not read the high and low fuse bits which i burned previously.
and another is it gives verification error
( reading | ######## avrdude: error : wrong reading bytes b8
and red led ( busy indicator ) not goes off
if i remove usb cable from pc then my hardware get reseted then my program works but with very low frequency.
i reinstalled the driver i update my laptop
but problem is not solved
my laptop is compaq presario V3000 and amd processor
so can anybody solve my problem
Hi
I am looking some USB pic programmer because my laptop hasn’t got a serial port for my pic programmer. Just want to ask where can I buy these Kits and how much are they ?
email me please!! thanks…!! 🙂
– Alexis from the Philippines
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.
@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
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..
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 !
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.
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?
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.
Hi
I am trying to build a communication system using Atmega32….My idea is to first convert the conditioned analog signal into a digital signal…I using ADC0808 for that….interfaced with the MC which sends out the signal to USART chip MAX232 which then conveys the signal to the transmitter for which i am using a laser diode. Receiver will have a photodiode followed by USART chip, then MC and then DAC….Now i need help on the programming part….Please let me know if AVR studio will be suitable or not….and I am finding it hard to get a STK-500 kit….are there any alternatives for it?….please reply and reply soon…
hola
hai i had brought a xboard from u! Its really awesome! can u please post how to make gps tracking device(using a gsm module)!
Hi Avinash,
I have built a ponyprog circuit with no crystals coneected. I could program mega8l. But I hapened to program RSTDISBL fuse bits and now when I read the device in ponyprog, it gives message “Device missing or unknown device”. How can I get my AVR back at work. Please suggest me some programmers so that I could use them here in Nepal.
We brought a USBasp Programmer from you , it is working fine and i am able to programm the chip atmega16 with a sample program for blinking led. it sucessfully burnt into the chip but led is not blinking. the connection is proper.
pls help
@Dinesh,
thats why we recomment one of our coplete development boards . i mean you are not able to do things without guidance,so why you just buy only the “programmee” like a expert???
Very shorts, simple and easy to understand, bet some more comments from your side would be great
can we expect arm tutorials frm ur superb site
hello Raghu thanks for the suggestion. ARM tutorial in pipeline. But can’t promise by when they can be started.
hai avinash suberb job dude keep going can we kno whatz ur next tutorial on avr
@Raghu,
Tutorials that are about to come
1) Detailed Graphic LCD Tutorial (Many parts)
2) Robotics (Line Follower,Obstacle Avoidance,Remote Control etc)
3) Some PIC MCU tutorial
4) Matrix Keypad example etc
So much fun coming up !
your website is great support to a novice like me ,
itake frequent help ,now my problem is how to show
a float number like 345.67 on lcd ,with program in C ,iam using
codevision avr & avr studio i have a parallel port connected
atmega 16 with lcd to experiment ,pl.. advise
VSS
mr VSS,
ATMEGA(AVR) does’t support floating point arithmetic.so for floating point arithmetic we have no other option than opearating with the nearest whole number.but here is your answer:
use the function lcd_put_i(), with decimal point after two digits.this will display a decimal point with two digits two its right….hope it works..try it…if any prob found..plz post it here..
bbye n have a nice day..
chandan tiwary
chandantiwary2005@gmail.com
Thanks chandan
your suggestion does’nt work as no such function is suported by lcd.h,stdio.h,etc. but i found solution with use of modulus ‘%’
operator.i made errorless program simulated in AVR STUDIO ,watched on HAPSIM lcd.i programmed atmega16 with successful run
but when i erased for reprogram ,MCU stopped communication
i replaced MCU ,it also gave same result ,iwas not changing
fuse bit ,so what is happening ,can MCU memory damages by containt of prog ,as iwas able to run reprog other progs
on these MCU before ,i will put prog in forum
vss

Hi,
I am new to MCUs. I am currently learning with Atmega8L but soon want to move to a more advanced/current MCU.
Which MCU is the current multipurpose common IC everyone is using? I know the answer would be “It depends on the need of the circuit”. But, I want to know the one which will get most of my robotics devices running and is not very expensive or hard to use. something which has a lot of compatible h/w s/w available.
Thanks
@Kumar Lomash
Go for PIC32 from microchip, fits all your need.
Thanks Avinash. I will certainly give it a try in my next project.
Just one question though, I have heard that PIC micro controllers have multi-cycle instructions vs. Amtel’s MCUs which are generally single cycle instruction. wouldn’t this make Amtel’s products faster MCUs?
Hai Avinash
i saw your tutorial about the graphical LCD interfacing with ATmega32.Its amazing.I have one doubt in the circuit diagram is that could i change the connections of the port pins that interface with the LCD.Please give me a reply. Thank you.
Sir i want to make line follower but i dont know how to make ir sensor for detecting line can u please help me in making ir sensor part.I want to make ir sensor using TSOP17,NE555 so please mail me some tutorial .

Why don’t you have a look at the Online store here ? 🙁
I request you to go through any website throughly before posting a comment or request ! Reading such silly things is like hell for us. Sorry if I am rude.
I have gone through your tutorials regarding temp sensor using LM 35 , AT mega8 and 7 segment displays. What modifications have to made in program to make it run on mega32
@adhiraaj,
You mean you need spoon-feeding?
You got the code still you want someone else to modify it for you. Quit making this type of silly requests.

Hi Avinash
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…
@Maxmiaggi,
“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)
Hii avinash your site was really helpful
CAN YOU HELP ME OUT plssss….! basically i’m a beginner (my first robot)
i’m trying 2 built remote wireless stand with 4 wheels n servos
operating with remote controller can you help me
pls let me now i want to connect with 6-channel receiver with 9v battery remote controller total weightage of the stand is like 4kgs load to carry
i find some of the shops but its too cost
if you have any of those products pls intimate with cost too n your valuable guidance
thanks for helping
keep rocking
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
thanks for helping
pls can you tel me if you have products or suggest me
@avinash:
I will prepare a ppt with some of your informations and illustrations. Before starting, i will inform them about the sources and give them the links, and then start off. I will also be adding some illustrations of my own, but you will get the credit, the link will be given to them before i begin.
Hope its okay…
Avinash ,
Its good to start with you … actually i drawn a plan(my imagine) if there is chance here i’l upload the image here lemme know
i’m happy with your guidance
thanks in advance
looking forward
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!

Hey Avinash
I am calling you today….but i couldnt found no phone is answered. I want to buy low cost avr develpoment board. Is stock present now? what are your contact timmings
@praneeth varma
How many ?
Please don’t call me on SAT or SUN!
Better if you call me after 10:00 AM Morning till 1:30 PM
Much faster response if you use email! I am online most of the time.
Hi Avinash,
thank you for the… “AVR Graphic LCD and Accelerometer” Demo.
Unfortunately the code from the website is unavailable.
where can I get it.
Best regards D.Schnabel
AVR Graphic LCD and Accelerometer Demo
@Dietrich
The codes (both hex and source) are available for download! Please go try them.
Hi avinash,
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.
Best regards Dietrich
@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.
Hallo Avinash,
too bad, with your configuration C0 C1 are not available for using the Hardware I2C.
Best regards Dietrich
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,

hi Avinash,
i am using your LCD interfacing in your xAPI Lib, but i made a mistake in my PCB,i used the wrong data port on it like fallow:
Port PB3-PB7 are connected to D4-D7
but in your lib the port is:
Port PB0-PB0 are connected to D4-D7
how could i change the code to fit my board?
Thanks!
Hey avinash… nice work.

well i am curious to know,is it possible to interface a camera
to any atmega or pic microcontroller’s.if yes than what all things r essential for such a project?i know it sounds a bit amature type of question,but i am just too curious to know about it.
@rajam
Thanks!
“possible to interface” is too broad to be answered. The answer can both yes and NO.
I have usb pic programmer v 1.0 and I have download extreme burner2.0 of pic from your website when I load a hex file and click writeall option then a problem occure show as a “programmer not responding” in progress window can u help me

Coming soon …
Hi sir,
i want to buy a GSM SIM300 module can u tell me details about this,Thanks.
Avinash,
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?

Why will any one write code for some unknown guy???
Why don’t you ask the guy from where you have purchased it ???
Its all here, but you will have to put in some work…

I would just like to let ufo know how much I learn from your website Bookmarked book . be back fast for some more good articles.
where can i purchase it.
Please reply from where can I get usb to uart
Pragyan 2012
International-Technomanagement festival
http://www.pragyan.org
Engineering is all about imagination and ingenuity. Rather than just theories and their application, it revolves around simpler domains such as indigenous thinking, common sense and elementary logic, all of which arise from the Supreme Intelligence, the “Pragyan ” in us. Technology, as we know it today, is the manifestation of millenia of Pragyanic thought and action, which has unflinchingly served and enthralled mankind since the invention of the Wheel.
Pragyan, the annual Techno-Management festival of NIT, Trichy is a humble attempt to promote and foster this co-existential relationship between Man and Technology. The insignia, insinuating Man’s eternally progressive leap over the Wheel of Technology, is symbolic of Pragyan?s endeavour to inculcate the spirit of engineering, innovation and forward thinking among the youth. For over half a decade, Pragyan has worked tirelessly towards this goal, by churning out seven memorable editions, each of which has enlightened, emboldened and inspired an entire generation of engineers.
To the freshers, welcome! To the seasoned, welcome back, to this journey of exploration, revelation and awe. Come February 2012, NIT, Trichy will be the epicenter of a scintillating Celebration of Technology, and you are invited to the party!
Hi Avinash
I want to do In circuit Programming of 89s8253. I used your board and software. But sotware is giving me error “Burn process incomplete”. sometimes it is Burning successfully but on verification its not working.
Please Suggest any idea… its urgent
Thanks in regards
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
@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.
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.
What was the reason to program the fuse bytes like that?
any one have extreme burner 51 software? please
