Here’s a cool little USB to LCD hack!
The hardware of the LCD2USB interface consists of the Atmel AVR Mega8 CPU, a cheap and easy to obtain microcontroller with 8 KBytes flash (of which ~3k are used in this application) and 2 KBytes RAM. The processor is surrounded by few parts, mainly connectors to interface to the PC and the LCD.

Check out this DIY Oscilloscope using Atmel Atmega32.
I wanted to see if I could make a useful scope using just a microcontroller and a television. The result works, but is a bit slow with a maximum sampling rate of 15,750 Hz. This is fast enough for most electrophysiology, but not for audio. The sampling rate is determined by the maximum rate of the internal A/D converter.
Remember our G-Meter in 1 Minute? You could probably refer to this for getting acceleration, braking, and horsepower.
Here’s how you can make your own Linux Temperature Monitoring system coupled with a DS1820 chip using the 1-wire communication protocol. Note that you could easily do this with a Basic Stamp, which supports 1-wire protocol and just simply add a

Remember our STK1000 review?
Here’s a cool video playing DOOM on the Atmel AVR STK1000.
Cool robots using Atmel chips!
Here’s how to build a simple robot for $34 that is expandable to a wide range of projects. From sumo to fire fighting to soccer… Thanks Jose!
Here’s mini version of Segway robot…using 2 Hitec servo motors Atmega32 mcu… Yey, now I can make some cool robots that run on a segway structure! 🙂
icbank.com, a technology firm in Korea makes these cool MP3 kits you can build.
They have two different types of MP3 players that you can build.
One of them uses a hard drive and the other one uses an SD memory card as storage.
The whole thing runs on a Atmel ATmega 128L, which is kinda cool.
They also give you the source code to the firmware, so you can customize after building it.
