This project converts two Playstation 1 or Playstation 2 converter into usb josysticks. It also features the Dance Pad Code (Up+START+SELECT), so that it can be used in DDR games (tested with Stepmania). Works under Linux, Mac OSX, Windows.This project uses a Firmware-Only USB Driver for the AVR[more]

LED Fader 2 isย�a projectย�that can control up to 16 outputs, designed for driving LED’s.
All 16 outputs are pulse width modulated, providing 256 levels of brightness at a refresh rate of 100 Hz. A script language, designed for controlling the outputs, is provided as well.
The program is written in AVR assembler for the AT Mega8 and Mega16 microcontrollers from Atmel.[more]

This project uses an Atmel at90s2313 AVR processor to measure resistance values and generate R/C style pulses suitable for driving servos or testing R/C controlled robots without the transmitter. It measures four channels and provides four R/C style pulses. It uses an LCD display to indicate the current pulse width and to indicate when the board is in CALIBRATE mode. Analog joysticks, by their nature, are highly variable so the tether unit needs to be calibrated for the particular joystick. Once calibrated it appears to be quite stable: pulse width values stay within a few microseconds over several days of operation at room temperatures.[more]
