Assembler delays

Using delays in AVR studio

Write a variation on the above program to produce any delay required for your project.

AVR Studio and assembly language.

You'll need to download AVR Studio 4.19 for further work on AVR assembly language.

RS232 protocol

The RS232 protocol has been around for many years now. There are various versions and we have to be aware that non-standard applications are used often. The main aspects are the sockets and plugs and the packet sending rules.

Think about the wearable project

The next project is about using an embedded system very close to a person. It could be on clothes, shoes or on something you carry or on an accessory like a coat, hat or belt. Some ideas below are given in links.

LDR, our first sensor

Some good code and information here.
Light dependent resistor circuit. See http://www.ladyada.net/learn/sensors/cds.html

Some voltage division images

We often want a sensor to send its signal using a changing voltage. For instance when the temperature is high we get a big voltage, and when the temperature is low we get a low voltage. Note that normally the input to an Arduino analog pin has to be between 0 and 5 volts.
