Programming adaptor for 8 and 28 pin
AVR Microcontrollers using ISP - Okit is not pretty, but its
practical. The 20 pin connector at the far right is left over from a different project and is no longer
used. This adaptor lets me program 8 or 20 pin DIP devices using the In-System Programmer (ISP) described in
Atmel's AVR910 application note. This circuit provides power and clocks for the part to be programmed and
power to the ISP circuit. When programming 8 pin devices, the part is positioned toward pins 1 and 20 of the
socket such that the 8 pins of the chip occupy the pins 1, 2, 3, 4, 17, 18, 19, abd 20 of the programming
socket. In the case of an 8 pin part being programmed, the SPST switch that grounds pin 4 must to be closed.
Conversely, when programming a 20 pint part, the switch on pin 4 must be open so the crystal can be used for
the clock for the part being programmed. . . [From Dick Cappels' project pages]

Propeller
Message Display with Temperature Indicator - Here we
describe a microcontroller-based propeller display that displays any message sent to it via hyper-terminal of
a personal computer. Moreover, a temperature sensing IC (TMP125) is mounted onto the propeller display to
display temperature in real time. It gives a 360-degree view and displays several characters in a revolving
circular path using just eight LEDs. The main highlight o this project is a vertical facing display with true
360-degree viewing angle. . . [© EFY Enterprises Pvt. Ltd. All rights reserved.]

Provide digital hysteresis - 12/03/98 EDN Design Idea (File has several circuit ideas. Scroll to find this one. ) It is
sometimes useful to have hysteresis in a digital circuit—for example, in a power circuit under the control of
a manual pulse generator, in which mechanical vibrations can produce position errors. The circuit in Figure
1, which consists of a 4585 comparator (IC2) , a 4019 switch (IC1) , and one-sixth of a 4069 inverter (IC3) ,
provides digital hysteresis. If DI=0, DA=8, and DB=6, then Output 12 and G2 of IC2 assume logic 1, and G1 of
IC2 assumes logic 0. . . [by W Dijkstra, Waalre, The Netherlands]

Pushbutton or logic controls nonvolatile DAC - 11/19/98
EDN Design Idea (File has several designs) For manual control of analog signals, it's hard to beat the
venerable precision multiturn potentiometer's simplicity, resolution, and power-off nonvolatility. When
digital control of an analog parameter is the design objective, a universe of DACs is available to the
designer. The circuit in Figure 1, however, has manual-pushbutton and CMOS/TTL-compatible digital interfaces
to a 10-bit, nonvolatile, two- or four-quadrant multiplying DAC. The heart of the circuit is the Xicor
(Milpitas, CA) X9511 PushPot series of digitally controlled potentiometers. . . [by Stephen Woodward,
