AVR REGISTER ANDROID APP

Instead of being a micro-controller freak I always was afraid of remembering the names of the registers used in the micro-controllers and remembering the bits in them was even more difficult for me. So I decided to come up with a handy android app which can help me with this problem and here is the link to AVR Register, an app on android platform. AVR Register is based on ATMEL's MEGA series of controllers. It's a very handy app to help you out when you need to remind which bit of which register is used to do what. Every bit has been explained in a very brief manner. Below are some of the screenshot for the app. ...

Switch and LEDs

In this tutorial I am going to show you, how to blink a LED whenever a switch is pressed using AVR micro controller. I am using ATmega128/ ATmega64 (both of the micro controller can be used interchangeably as they differ in the size of flash memory only). The LED is connected to pin 0 of PORTC (PC0) and the switch is connected to the pin 0 of PORTA (PA0) of the micro controller. I have assumed that the LED is connected in sinking logic i.e. whenever +5V is provided by the controller the LED will be OFF and whenever the 0V is supplied the LED will be ON and the switch is ACTIVE LOW i.e. it provides a 0V on being pressed. The step to program are as follow- 1. Set the corresponding PORTs as input or output. 2. Enable pull-up resistors for the input pin. 3. Check for the input continously. 4....

How to edit System Path Variables

PATH is an environment variable on Unix-like operating systems, DOS, OS/2, and Microsoft Windows, specifying a set of directories where executable programs are located. In general, each executing process or user session has its own PATH setting. Many programs do not appear in the path as they are not designed to be executed from a command window, but rather from a Graphical User Interface. Set the PATH environment variable if you want to be able to conveniently run the executable from any directory without having to type the full path of the command. If you do not set the PATH variable, you need to specify the full path to the executable every time you run it. So if you want to change the system path for your applications follow the steps. NOTE: The PATH environment variable is...
