A Stereo Audio Compressor - Do you hate the way the sound level on your TV suddenly jumps during the advert breaks? Or do you find that the sound levels vary widely when switching between digital TV stations? Or maybe you have problems listening to CDs or MP3s in your car or against the background din during a party? Are the soft parts too soft and the loud parts too loud? This Stereo Compressor will solve that problem. It reduces the dynamic range of the signal while still maintaining clean sound. The unit is also ideal for use with PA systems.__ SiliconChip

A Very Accurate Thermometer/Thermostat - Based on the very accurate Dallas DS18B20 digital temperature sensor, this thermometer/thermostat provides accurate readings to one decimal point. The LCD shows current, minimum and maximum temperature readings. An internal buzzer will sound when temperature limits are exceeded. It is intended for controlling air conditioners, heaters, cool rooms, wine cellars, etc. The software is user-customisable.__ SiliconChip
AC Power Line Clock Controller using AT89C2051 - The Clock Controller V1.1was designed to be an exemplary of using 'C' language to control timer0interrupt, 7-segment LED and keypad scanning. It provides 1-bit sink currentdriving output, for driving a relay, opto-TRIAC, say. Many projects requiring7-segment display and keypad interfacing may get the idea from the Clockcircuit and software. __ Designed by Wichit Sirichote
AC Power Line Voltage Indicator - The solidstate voltmeter circuit described here indicates the mains voltage with a resolution that is comparable to that of a general-purpose analogue voltmeter. The status of the mains voltage is available in the form of an LED bar graph__ Electronics Projects for You
Access odd memory locations without hardware - 05/27/99 EDN-Design Ideas Some risc controllers, like the NEC V850 family, use an internal 32-bit architecture with an external 16-bit bus. The architecture also allows interfaces with 8-bit memories. HoweverPDF has several circuits, please scroll to find this one. Design by Sorin Zarnescu, NEC Electronics, Santa Clara, CA

Adding external memory to Atmega128. Part 1. Schematic - Atmel AVR microcontroller Atmega128 is equipped with internal 4Kbytes of SRAM memory. Is it enough? Well it depends on what project it’s gonna hold. If your project must deal with loads of data or run larger RTOS code you will definitely run
Adding external memory to Atmega128. Part 2. Software - To test if external memory board works we are going to write a simple routine that tests if microcontroller can allocate memory heaps, write to and read from then. First of all we have to set up AVRStudio project. If your are going to use automated
Addressable DALI Dimming Ballast - A digitally addressable digital dimming ballast has been developed. It conforms to DALI standard requiring very few parts and operates at very low power. Applications include building management or studio lighting where it is desired to control single or groups of lamps for conserving energy, performing lamp maintenance or creating prefect light quality. The design includes the digital dimming ballast, the code of the micro-controller and a platform to control the ballast by PC. __ Designed by Cecilia Contenti and Tom Ribarich Applications Engineer, International Rectifier, Lighting Group

Alphanumeric LED Display Project - A phenomenal 256-diode ROM acts as a character generator for a two-digit hexadecimal display. __ Contact: David Cook
Altimeter Project - Making a altimeter using the Basic Stamp II. I finally got my Basic Stamp Pocket Altimeter done. My first version of my altimeter used a linear equation , which i found is not really accurate at all. So i got a PAK II math coprocessor to calculate the altitude. Although the PAK II worked like a charm in my old bulky altimeter, I wanted to make one that was pocket size and the PAK II was just too big. In pocket altimeter I overcame the Stamp's lack of math capabilties by using a method known as linearization to do the calculations. __ Designed by Shaun Wilson
