Small, fast, reliable micro OS for AVR devices Wed, 11 Jan 2012 14:46:30 +0100 http://8515.avrfreaks.net/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=956 Whether it's software engineers and their compilers or electrical engineers and their oscilloscopes, engineers and makers of all kinds rely on tools to build great things every day. We depend on tools so much that we often take our ability to use them for granted. The NerdKits team was contacted by a blind mechanical engineering student, and combined technologies from two earlier projects to produce a set of talking digital calipers that turn a distance measurement into an audible readout. The video includes a clip where Terry explains his passion for engineering and shows how he uses the talking calipers in his job and classes, so be sure to take a look.

Mon, 12 Dec 2011 10:59:37 +0100 http://8515.avrfreaks.net/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=953 Integration of an ultra-low-power LCD controller in AVR XMEGA microcontrollers reduces design complexity, lowers system cost and increases utility metering, home automation, climate control, industrial control, sport equipment, toys, eToken, medical, power tools, fire alarm systems and other applications that require a small graphical user interface. Watch on Youtube The AVR XMEGA LCD controller supports displays with up to 160 segments, and delivers built-in contrast control, ASCII character mapping, programmable segment blinking and SWAP mode. In addition to the integrated LCD controller, the devices also feature a Full-Speed USB device with operation from an internal oscillator, dual 12-bit ADC, DMA controller as well as the Atmel Event System and picoPower® technology.

Task: Create an AVR project using ASF, and write a blog style review of ASF and the development process of your project. Rules and tips: - Feel free to select the AVR project yourself, but ASF should be used. - The main target is to demonstrate the ease of use and advantages of ASF, but drawbacks, enhancement proposals and potential pitfalls should be well covered in the review. - The development process and review of ASF is as important as the project itself. - Upload your project and review to the AVR freaks project page and prefix it with ASF review: Example name "[ASF review] Your project name" - Both zip file of project and review (.pdf, .doc, .html page) should be uploaded. - All code submitted in the contest will be open source as for other AVR freaks projects - Atmel may use the project and ASF review for internal evaluation of ASF Awards for best review/project 1.
