An RGB LED Ring Using an ATmega168

  By

When I first saw this LED ring the first thing that came into my mind is a Christmas tree entirely covered by these glowing rings of awesomeness. There are two versions, the first version makes use of 3 P-channel MOSFET that cycles through the primary colors and makes use of only a single LED ring constant current source, the second version makes use of three separate constant current sources made from MBI5168 – this would rid us of the need to cycle through the colors and which also give us more brightness. The color balancing can be done in hardware – turning potentiometers in ht back of the PCBs. There is a warning when dealing with these rings – the current constant current sources and the LEDs can generate a lot of… Continue reading

Configurable, full colour RGB mixing lamp

  By

This project is for those who want to control room light according to their mood. RGB mixing lamp is great in generating various colour schemes. It can work as stand alone device without PC connection. It can be controlled remotely via standard RS485 bus system. RGB lamps are developed as stackable modules. If you want to build one – be prepared to develop four separate PCB’s for power supply, Atmega8 controller board, LED board and serial connectivity board. It has two firmware versions developed on ASM and C languages. Turn on deep blue colour and watch “The Abyss”. Continue reading

AVR RGB-PAL TV pattern generator

  By

This project may be useful for TV testers. TV pattern is generated by Atmega8 which runs at 16MHz and it may produce 14 different color patterns that you can see on regular TV.   Circuit has RGB to PAL converter built in but of course RGB signals also can be used as most TV’s now accept RGB signal (scart connector). Project files are available for download. Continue reading
