Thank you. Yes, I have run out of space more or less. Most of my I/O is used, including all the PWM outputs. Your "controlled resistor" reference is exactly right. I needed a brightness control from full off to full on, and the outputs were going through inverters already anyways

Well, if you are military and making something to survive a nuclear EMP event, you can do it: sealed metal box, with EMI filters on all lines going into/out of the box (choke, capacitor, clamp diodes, resistors). That is about as idiot proof as possible (and very expensive). For

How do you go about dimming a 7 segment display (controlled by an AVR)? I can't do it via software (already reached the limit), so I'm limited to hardware. Basically I don't want the segments getting dimmer or brighter as more or fewer of them turn on. Right now this is my circui

Normally no stepper motors works on speeds beyond 1 to 2 KHz. So you can do it in one of your timer overflow interrupts. Also, any reaction which may take place against changing input signals, takes time. if this time could be large enough you can sample it in another or same tim

You might use a diode in series with the power input, Ryan, to protect from polarity inversion. Better yet, use a bridge rectifier and you can use either polarity DC as well as AC input from a wall wart. That way all you do is connect power...no problems with polarity or type as

Best bet is to diode protect (for polarity) the input to an opto-isoltor on each GPIO. This will protect you against static discharge, excessive positive or negative inout, etc, etc., at very little cost. Cost of a single diode, and a $0.25 (US) opto-isolator. tom Ryan wrote: > >

Hi Tim, As I understand it, the chip only loads the osccal value for it's lowest internal oscillator speed (1MHz usually). You have to write a different value to the OSCCAL register for running at faster oscillator speeds. Also remember that the oscillator cal byte will be wrong
