This is a very basic Atmega328 development kit It includes:
A kit comes as true kit, and components must be soldered by user.
This is a very simple capacity tester. It consists of single resistor that discharges battery. Arduino measures the voltage drop across resistor. According to Ohm’s Law current = voltage/resistance. Every second value of current is divided by 3600 and summed up to get the capacity expressed in Ah (Amp per hour).
I have used two parallel connected resistors that total resistance is 6.9 ohm. Make sure that they have proper power rating, if You don’t want them to convert to smoke. If voltage across 6.9 ohm resistor is 3.7 V, then current – 0.54 A, power ~ 2W.
SEN136B5B is a Ultra Sonic range measurement from SeedStudio. It can measure the distance by sending a 40k Hz ultra sound impulse via the transmitter and calculating time needed for echo to reach receiver. Detecting range: 3cm-4m. More information about device.
In the description of module is mentioned that it is compatible with Arduino library, but I decided to write program without using PulseIn command.
ADXL335 is 3 axis accelerometer with analog output from Analog Devices. You can buy it as an evaluation kit with standard 2,5 mm connector.
ADXL335 acceleration measurement range is +/- 3 g. Supply voltage is 1.8 – 3.6 V, however all specifications at the datasheet is given at 3.0 V. This accelerometer has 3 outputs for X,Y,Z axis which voltage is proportional to acceleration on specific axis.
At midpoint when acceleration is 0 g output is typically 1/2 of supply voltage. If a supply voltage is 3V, then output is 1.5 V. Output sensitivity typically is 300 mV/g.
This short guide is about starting first project with IAR Embedded Workbench for Atmel AVR. IDE is not free, bet there is free KickStart edition with 4KB code limit.
