This article will first discuss the Flood Fill algorithm, modified flood fill’s description and implementation will be built on that. After the boring theory session, the actual C implementation of the algorithm will be discussed and a [...]

Understanding AVR Fusebits (ATMega 16)

Saturday, December 26th, 2009

The AVR fuse bits settings are a crucial part of getting your AVR microcontroller up and running.
The fuse bits help to set the clock frequency being used, the startup time to be allotted and some more features like enabling programming through SPI, JTAG etc.
Let us look at the different bits one by one.
OCDEN (On chip [...]

Multi Surface Line Follower (using 4 Line sensors)

Thursday, December 24th, 2009

Work done by Lokesh Kumar, S.E(Electrical)
It becomes very simple to work on a Multi surface line follower using 4 line sensors. I have used two sensors to judge the surface (it can be done by 1 sensor but then we do not get much accuracy) and the other two for following the line.
Sensor 1 && [...]

How to communicate using serial port?

Thursday, December 24th, 2009

Parallel Communication:
Usually 8 or more bits are sent simultaneously.
Serial Communication:
Bits of a character are sent one by one.

Why go serial??
Parallel communication is faster but it has certain drawbacks. For transmitting data in parallel we need lot many number of wires (i.e. no of wires = no of bits to be transmitted at once).
For transmitting [...]
