AVR audio spectrum monitor on graphical LCD On SG12232C graphical LCD there are two parts displayed: waveform and spectrum. It really looks cool and real when playing music. The program runs on AVR Atmega8 microcontroller clocked at maximum 16MHz frequency. The signal is passed through 8th-order elliptic filter(anti-alias filter) implemented on MAX293. Hardest part in this project was to implement an FFT algorithm which require lots of processing. But Chan has reached 9.6kHz sampling with 75Hz resolution, what is enough for visualisation. Besides firmware author also provides fixed point FFT library optimized for Atmega microcontrollers so anyone could enjoy creating similar projects. Multifunctional alarm clock with internet connectivity We continue to go through circuitcellar 2007 16-bit PIC design contest. Next project (second place winner), developed by DJ Delorie, is a cool multifunctional alarm clock that is connected to internet. Along with cool look of this clock it also has several nice features like automatic time setting on power up, can play streaming MP3 music and of course clock can be remotely managed from personal computer that is connected to internet. Alarm clock runs on PIC24FJ64 microcontroller. Internet connectivity is made through ENC28J60 IC. Clock also is equipped with graphical display, volume control and seven buttons for local control. Full project files are here. GPS LCD Display Project The circuit it’self is pretty simple, take in the data on one pin, parse it, format it and then display it to a 4×20 LCD module (Hitachi Chipset). That is the basic idea, but you might add in somthing like a mechanical encoder that would allow for changing options or changing settings in the display unit. This might be as simple as a SPDT (Singe Pole Double Throw) switch if the options are as simple as two settings. [via] |
