Maxim
USB Host for microcontrollers
24. October 2009 - 11:16 — adminIt isn't a problem to create an uC-based device as an USB peripherial nowadays - there are a lot of chips with USB device capability, from FTDI to some PIC/USB, or OBDEV's USB software controller. But what to do if you need connect some USB peripherial to your device?
AVR and 1-Wire interface
4. December 2008 - 14:25 — adminDallas Semiconductor (Maxim) produces a family of devices that are controlled through a proprietary 1-wire interface. On a 1-wire network, a single "master" device communicates with one or more 1-wire "slave" devices over a single data line, which can also be used to provide power to the slave devices. How to connect such devices to Arduino?

2. November 2008 - 13:40 — adminThe MAX3420 is a USB peripheral controller chip with an SPI bus. How to easily make use of the device in your projects?
PIC-based real-time clock with DS1307
27. July 2008 - 12:02 — adminThis PIC project uses an I2C Real Time Clock IC (DS1307) and a four digit seven segment display to create a standard desk clock.
Simple negative power supply
20. June 2008 - 17:00 — adminThis stuff is really small, use some common parts and can be reuse across different needs.
