The first and the greates,
Share your projects, accomplihments, and/or what you're doing right now in relation to: Microcontrollers(Like the Arduino Uno R3), FPGA's (like the SainSmart MEGA 2560 R3), and Miniature Computers(like the Raspberry Pi).
Arduino General
Michael Jones
Chase Watson
Am i the only one who does anything related to this?
Isaiah Rodriguez
nigger, its a fucking $2 atmel chip.
did you really just spend 150CDN on bullshit to make a $0.02 led blink?
protip: everything in those books was stolen from the internet.
Brandon Powell
ok.
If i'm getting this right i should buy the amtel chip instead and solder the entire thing together by hand?
Daniel Green
also just curious why no one's been responding.
Is it something i did or is it just that all the brainlets on this board cant even microprocessor?
Aaron White
if you want sure. you can even go deadbug style if you want (pic related).
What I recommend is just buying a chink knockoff for $3 on ebay.
go to eBay and search "arduino clone".
get your tutorials and code off of the internet for free.
Chase Perez
heres a link.
this is a different formfactor so basic shields wont work right out of the box, you will just need to do the pinout with some jumper cables.
and people arnt responding because this is probably b8. arduino gets shit on enough for costing 100x more that what it takes to make the damn thing and then you post an image with 150 worth of shit.
also a fucking leaf.
Gavin Smith
Trying to design a pcb for a mini quad using an atmega128rfa1. It really hasn't done so well, and I'll probably need to change quite a bit of the design.
Brandon Fisher
that looks like a nice chip..
is it just a normal microcontroller but with a built in transceiver?
Brandon Bennett
Yup. It's basically a regular arduino with a conveniently integrated 2.4ghz transceiver. Definitely beats buying cheap rf modules and soldering it onto the board.
Gabriel Sanders
Ive never fucked with rf, but I have an old rf ligth controller that was nice but the remote broke so i had to stop using it.
Is there a practical way to find out what frequency the thing works on and make a new remote for it? the remote works sometimes if that helps the process
Camden Reyes
>and people arnt responding because this is probably b8
but its not bait. I'm genuinely new to this.
I never knew you could get an arduino for so cheap, i'm just so new to all this, but i already love the idea, which is why i beganthis thread.
Please unload all the info you can that would be helpful for a beginner like me, i will make good use of what knowledge you provide.
In the meantime, i need to sleep. Good night and God bless!
Nolan Diaz
this thread will be gone by the time you wake up.
basically buy from china, because thats where it all comes from anyway. (except actual arduous come from italy (not that it matters at that price)).
good luck with all of this.
Logan Myers
If you don't mind opening it up you can try to locate the chip that the remote uses and work your way from there using the datasheet. Otherwise, you'll need something that can scan various radio frequencies like radio scanner. There should be some common frequencies used by remotes, and I would be surprised if it didn't have any information about the frequency it uses on it or some manual it came with.
Zachary Young
any resources to learn? I don't even know what these chips are or what they do?
Andrew Butler
its been opened. I scrapped the black shit off the buttons that didnt work and soldered smd switches from a salvaged vcr to it but in the end I just got tired of its shit.
the chip is under black epoxy.
do they make some mind of a meter that detects frequencies?
Adam Taylor
then why did you spend so much money on it?
go to bed little leaf, your shitposting skills will mature with age.
Eli Ross
You should look into some cheap SDR possibilities. There are a few that run on your phone, and there should absolutely be some that also run on your computer. They usually require a small usb antenna, but I don't know much besides that.
Aiden Gomez
ok, thanks anyway.
Im hoping to find something like an sdr sniffer than can detect and identify strength of available frequencies sorta like how wifi lists show up
Evan Murphy
Atmega documentation. Arduino libraries are shit, big boys do it raw.
Jaxson Gray
just like terry
Luke Perry
Check the /ohm/ thread on /diy/. That's what you're looking for.
I'll just drop the general description to give an idea

>I'm new to electronics, where to get started?
There are several good books and YouTube channels that are commonly recommended for beginners and those wanting to learn more, many with advanced techniques. The best way to get involved in electronics is just to make stuff. Don't be afraid to get your hands dirty.
>What books are there?
Beginner:
Getting Started in Electronics Forrest Mims III
Make: Electronics Charles Platt
How to Diagnose & Fix Everything Electronic Michael Jay Greier
Intermediate:
All New Electronics Self-Teaching Guide: Kybett, Boysen
Practical Electronics for Inventors: Paul Scherz and Simon Monk
Advanced:
The Art of Electronics by Paul Horowitz and Winfield Hill
>What YouTube channels are there?

>What websites feature electronics projects or ideas?
adafruit.com
instructables.com
makezine.com
>Where do I get components and lab equipment from?
ladyada.net/library/procure/hobbyist.html
Search the web for "hobbyist electronics sources" to find plenty.
In the US and elsewhere, mouser.com, digikey.com, arrow.com, newark.com are full-line distributors that entertain small orders.
>What circuit sim software do you use?
This mostly comes down to personal preference. These are the most common ones though:
NI Multisim
LTSpice
CircuitLab
iCircuit for Macs
CircuitJS (quick, dirty, interactive)
>What software should I use to layout boards?
Altium
CircuitMaker
Circuit Wizard
ExpressPCB
EAGLE
KiCad
>My circuit doesn't work. Halp?
Check wiring, soldering, part pinouts, and board artwork if applicable, then post schematic. Supply ALL relevant info and component values.when asking a question.
