projects

In this article I'll show you how to use the Arduino hardware board as a standard Atmel development board. It uses the Arduino hardware as a stepping stone towards independent Atmel projects and uses Atmel's tool chain and ISP. The target audience is C programmers wanting to experiment with micro-controllers or Arduino users wanting to take a leap in their understanding of the micro-controller at the heart of their projects.

This is a standard base with which to build Atmel micro-controller based projects. It only includes only the essential components and is designed to be built as part of larger projects. Included is a low voltage power supply, Atmel processor, isp header and optionally a crystal.

A machine which automatically dispenses a dogs regular meals based on the current weight of the animal, a history of previous weights and food quantities and the calculated vector to the target weight.
