random thoughts and ramblings
A while back a wrote up instructions on how to program an Arduino with an AVRISP mkII. Back then the current software for the Arduino IDE was set at 0022 and it required you to modify a file to get it work. Apparently enough people wanted a feature like that to come built into the [...]
Have an AVRISP mkII that you want to use to program your Arduino Uno and still use the Arduino IDE? Well this post will show you how.This post assumes you have an Arduino Uno, running Windows XP, and have the latest IDE software (version 0022 as of this post). The main reason I wanted to [...]
Enjoyed the post about my Arduino based digital thermometer? Today I’m going back to the basics. I’ll outline from start to finish how to get your first sketch up and running on an Arduino Uno using a Mac. This post assumes you’ve already ordered an Arduino Uno and you have it sitting in front of [...]
So I got an Arduino Uno for Christmas and can’t stop messing around with it. It’s a great microcontroller platform for developing home brew embedded microcontroller projects. I have already completed 2 projects of my own using some Picaxe chips (which are based on Microchip’s PIC microcontrollers) and I’m really enjoying learning and working on [...]
A few weeks ago I came across a circuit online on showing how to automatically turn on the heated seats in a G8. The author of the post basically provided all the details on how to accomplish this by building his own device from scratch. He provided a parts list, schematic and the necessary programming [...]
