High DC Power Meter

The Hibox is High DC Power Meter based on the Atmel Atmega16 microcontroller. This equipment is capable to measure DC voltage up to 40V, currents up to 200A (600A with special sensor) and shows all values on 2×16 characters display. It was developed for enhanced measurements on new Lion/Lipol batteries which are widely used [...]
Resistor Combination Calculator
To get non-standard resistor value we can use parallel or series resistor combination. You can do quick calculation for R series but, sometimes, it’s hard to get good resistance combination in parallel resistor to get R value that we need. Thanks to Claudio Girardi who has built Resistor Series-Parallel Calculator. It will help you find [...]
PC Oscilloscope and Signal Generator

Besides voltmeter, sometimes we need oscilloscope to analyze signal from our electronic project. Unfortunately, the price for good digital Oscilloscope is expensive. For student and electronics hobbyist there are good solution for this. You can try Free PC based Oscilloscope like Visual Analyser. The software can be used to analyze waveform with range frequency 20-20khz. [...]
Direct Digital Synthesis Function Generator

The project uses Direct Digital Synthesis to generate sine, triangular and square waves in the range of 1 Hz to 150 KHz with 1Hz resolution. The frequency can be set through 16 switch numeric keypad or rotary shaft encoder (fine adjustment) and is displayed on a backlight numeric LCD module, Varitronix LCD module VIM-808. For [...]
STK500 Compatible ISP

AVR-Doper is an STK500 compatible In System Programmer (ISP) and High Voltage Serial Programmer (HVSP). It comes with a built-in USB to Serial adaptor to connect to modern host computers which often don’t have a serial interface. The project implements a low speed USB device in firmware only. No USB capable controller or converter is [...]
