Low cost Ethernet shield with ENC28J60



Microchip's ENC28J60 is a 28-pin, 10BASE-T stand alone Ethernet Controller with on board MAC & PHY, 8 Kbytes of Buffer RAM and an SPI serial interface. Target applications include VoIP, Industrial Automation, Building Automation, Home Control, Security and Instrumentation.
The ENC28J60 runs at 3.3V, while the ATmega328 runs at 5V. Normally this is a major problem,  but input are 5v tolerant . That means no level shifting is needed on the 5V lines controlled by the ATmega328 (CS, SCK, SI). The Tristate Buffer is used to shift the lines controlled by the ENC28J60 (SO, INT) from 3.3V to 5V. The lines never need to be put in a high impedance mode, so just tie the output enable line to ground."

Here is the schematic:

Component Tester

The last project that i built it is a component tester, which is based on AVR-Transistortester by Mark Frejek. 
And here is the modified version further developed by Karl-Heinz Kübbeler.
You'll find all firmwares and  documentation  at http://www.mikrocontroller.net/svnbrowser/transistortester/.

 Here is the schematic:
 The PCB layout:

 And here is the final result:

Here is a list of the parts used in this project:

Software Version 1.07k Specifications:


Measurment Range: 
   -Resistor:0.5Ω - 50MΩ.   
   -Capacitor:25pF - 100000uF.
   -Inductance:0.01mH - 20H.
 Features:
  -Operates with ATmega8, ATmega168 or ATmega328 microcontrollers.
  -Automatic detection of NPN and PNP transistors, N-channel and P-channel MOSFET, diode (including dual diode),Thyristor,Transistors, resistors and capacitors.
  -Automatic detection of pin layout of the detected part.
  -Measuring of current amplifcation factor and Base-Emitter threshold voltage of bipolar transistors.
  -Detection of the protection diode of bipolar transistors and MOSFETs.
  -Measuring of the Gate threshold voltage and Gate capacity value of MOSFETs.
  -Resolution of resistor measurement is now up to 0:01 values up to 50M are detected.
  -For resistors below 2100 also the measurement of inductance will be done,
  -Capacitors with values from 25pF to 100mF. The resolution can be up to 1 pF .
  -For capacitors with a capacity value above 0:18 F the Equivalent Serial Resistance (ESR) is
measured with a resolution of 0:01Ω.
  -For capacitors with a capacity value above 5000pF the voltage loss after a load pulse can be
determined. The voltage loss give a hint for the quality factor of the capacitor.
  -Zener-Diodes can be detected, if reverse break down Voltage is below 4.5V. 
  -LED is detected as diode, the flux voltage is much higher than normal.
  -Selectable facility to calibrate the internal port resistance of port output and the zero of set
of capacity measurement with the selftest.
  -Display battery voltage

Arduino and my clones


Arduino Uno. 


I started out with the very popular Arduino Uno board, which is based on Atmel AVR® Atmega328p 8-Bit Microcontroller. It's pretty easy to get started with Arduino, just get one of the boards, download the IDE, and start learning to program.

Arduino Single-Sided Serial Board (version 3).

This is the first Arduino clone that I built it.





westfw posted on Instructables this board, that I built it with female header.



MinimalDuino 107.


  posted on his blog an Arduino clone called Minimalduino, designed to match the form factor of the "official" Arduino boards.


FASTDUINO 32MHZ.

My successful attempt to run atmega328 at 32MHz 




all my boards
