The purpose of the project is to monitor the temperature of three compost heaps. It will send the data wirelessly to the receiver and process or display the result to PC. In the transmitter board, the project uses the TXM-433 as RF transmitter and MCU AVR AT90S4433 (you can replace it with AVR ATMEGA8) as [...]

Telemetry Device, ATmega8

February 24, 2010 By: admin Category: Uncategorized No Comments →

The Low Cost Telemetry Device (LTD) provides a low cost, minimal parts count Telemetry keyer using an Atmel’s ATMega8 Microcontroller. The LTD sends data by measuring voltage levels of up to four analog channels via its on-chip 10-bit Analog to Digital Converter (ADC) and converting them to numbers and sending the measurements via Morse Code.
