AVR-Ctrl


Bill of material, manual for assembling & circuit diagrams HERE!


For easy starting own microcontroller-projects we designed a simple and small (80x100mm = 1/2 Euro) AVR-experimental board.

Lots of sample projects for this board are availible in the download-area.

All Parts are easy to solder; no SMD. Also perfect for beginners.

 

What can I do with this board?

The PCB is special-designed for experimental purpose. Lots of sensors and actors are connectable to the microcontroller.
Many projects are possible without any changes of the board. So hardware problems can be avoided.

(Samples in the Project-Area)
Perfect for aducation!

You will be able to design own projects very quickly, no matter if you have lot of experience or not.

The experimental board has a lot of useful features like:

  • The Atmel AVR Controllers ATMEGA16 (16kB Flash); ATMEGA32 (32kB Flash); AT90S8535 (8kB Flash) and AT90S4434 (4kB Flash) are supported
  • Small PCB (1/2 Euro) in industrial quality
  • In system programmable (just a cable to the PC; a simple programmer PCB is also avalible here)
  • LCD-Display (16*2 Charakters)
  • Five keys
  • RS232 connection
  • Free digital Inputs and Outputs
  • 8 Drivers for LEDs, relais, motors,...
  • Roboter projects easily possible
  • LED bar of 10 LEDs
  • Relay on board for higher loads
  • Integrated Infrared receiver
  • Temperature Sensor
  • Analog inputs on connectors (Temperature, voltage,...)
  • Ideal for use with CodeVision C-Compiler, BASCOM (Basic), GNU (C) and Assembler
  • Lots of demonstration programs for different compilers in the Download area (always growing)

 

Possible ATMEL AVR Microcontrollers

The Atmel AVR Controllers ATMEGA16 (16kB Flash); ATMEGA32 (32kB Flash); AT90S8535 (8kB Flash) and AT90S4434 (4kB Flash) are supported

Note: Please see the Information of setting the fusebits in the datasheet of the controller. Screenshots of setting the fusebits for Ponyprog are avalible in the Download-area.

 

Compilers

 

CodeVision

Very easy to use is the CodeVision C-Compiler.
This compiler contains complete librarys for the LCD and starting is easy by using the code-generator, which sets the Registers for timer, serial, ports,...
A code-size-limited version is for free.
See the demo-programs for Codevision in the Download-Area

GNU
For using the totally free GNU-Compiler, please see the WinAVR-Project.
This is a complete source-editor (programmers Notepad) with compiler (GNU) and avrdude (ISP-Download).

See the demo-programs for GNU in the Download-Area.

BASCOM
You are used to program in BASIC?
Then you will like the Basic-Compiler BASCOM.
This powerful compiler has also library-functions for an easy start.
A code-size-limited version is for free.
See the demo-programs for Codevision in the Download-Area

 

ISP_Programming to download the software into the microcontroller


Link: ISP-Interface
The programming interface is called: ISP (In System Programming)
That means you can program the chip, wihtout remove it from the target-board.

We provide a very cheap solution with only four resistors on the parallel interface of your computer.

A list of possible programming-interfaces here.

Our mini-PCB can be soldered directly into a SUB-D connector.
