ATM18 AVR Board

Small but perfectly formed

Published in issue 376, April 2008

ATM18 AVR Board
This new series of articles presents a tiny processor module based on an ATmega88 microcontroller, ideal for use at the heart of any number of different projects. We begin with a reaction time tester and quickly move on to more advanced projects such as a precision weather station and a 3D magnetometer. Each application example provides an easy-to-understand demonstration of how to work with AVR microcontrollers.
