hi friends
  i am a student i am looking for a practical project with AVR i have looked the net but i didnot find a good one what is your suggestion do u have a new project? may u help me?i myself like power supply with avr i also find one but the instruction was in french!!!other usefull project will be allright.
   
  thank u

The possibilities here are endless.  What type of projects interest
you?  If you are looking for some inspiration, I would suggest looking
over the AVRFreaks web-site.  While I wouldn't endorse plagiarism, you
can use the variety of projects there as good food for thought on the
range of possible projects.

If you truly like power supplies, find something that requires a
'smart' supply, or come up with an AVR controlled battery management
system for something.

Hi Shervin,

How simple or how complicated are you interested in?

Writing a program that flashes lights when you push buttons is fairly 
simple.  Writing a program to do serial comm using the built-in USART is a 
little more complicated.

Something like reading a battery voltage with the A/D converter and 
displaying the voltage on your computer screen via UART would be even more 
complex.

You can figure out how to do all these things by studying the manual for 
the particular AVR you're interested in using.

A while ago I thought I had the answer to this question, i.e. someone 
wants to try their hand at programming a microcontroller and wants a 
meaningful project of some sort.  I mean, we all know that flashing 
an LED is the "Hello, world!" of embedded systems and soon after that 
comes detecting that a button has been pressed, including de-
bouncing.  Serial communications is a bit beyond that.  So, how about 
a project that is based on flashing LEDs, is controlled by pushing 
buttons, can be augmented with serial communications and has real-
world significance besides?  Traffic Lights!  So, I did this 
(warning - self promotion!):

Well, I've sold a few, but for some reason, this isn't the answer.  I 
really thought it was.

Ah, there'd be no point to that here in Massachusetts.  Coming from 
London, I thought I was a fairly hardened J-walker, but I have nothing 
on the Bostonians.

Me too, BOTH :-) Except that mine run REAL traffic lights
and pedestrians push buttons (call buttons).

Well not on the road as such but things like demo system
in briefcases for shows etc.

I really like the traffic light thing.  I could see buying a few of  
these for teaching kids as a first step in a robotics club or  
something like that.

Yeah, my thoughts exactly.  Actually, sales picked up a tiny bit when I 
put the Traffic Lights Project in a special category "Disappointingly 
Unpopular Products" on my home page.  I think my customers must have a 
sense of humor.  Hmm ... let me ponder the implications .. my products 
are a joke!
