    C++ - Library help - Atmel Studio 6

    Hi all, Seem to be coming across the same problem over and over again which is putting me off my new found hobby of programming. Quick brief: trying to create wireless communication using nrf24l01 using atmega328p with a USBtinyISP on atmel studio 6. The problem I am currently facing is...

    Project Help?!

    Both MCUs are ATmega328p... Im coding in C/ C++ on developers notepad, im using a USBtinyISP to communicate code to the MCUs. Else is the second part of an IF statement. i.e IF statement is true (do this) false/ else (do this)

    Project Help?!

    Operation that the MCU must do is: -Upon powering up, check if a TXD or RXD connection is made. -If connection is made, check if the two MCUs have previously communicated. //This could be via a Unique ID of some-sort for each MCU?? -If they have previously communicated, do this, else...

    nRF24L01 2.4GHz tranceiver - ATMega328p

    I am currently attempting to communicate between two- nRF24L01 2.4GHz tranceivers using a ATMega328p with use of the USBtinyISP in C/C++ ... Is there any chance that anyone would have any coding regarding the setup/ communcation process or be able to offer any advice at all regarding this setup...

    HELLO WORLD - LED BLINKING - HELP

    The LED wont even light with the simplest of code, but no problem with make all or programming????? #include <avr/io.h> int main(void) { DDRB = 0b00000001; //Data Direction Register setting pin0 to output and the remaining pins as input PORTB = 0b00000001; //Set pin0 to 5 volts }

    HELLO WORLD - LED BLINKING - HELP

    Newbie here learning how to program. Quick brief of equipment- Using a USBtinyISP with a ATMega328p MCU on windows 8.1 using programmers notepad in C/C++ Cant seem to get the LED to turn on at all nethermind blinking. Any help woud be appreciated thanks. See image of setup and coding as attached

    Yes another NEWBIE question!

    The item shown in the link above is not the same as what I am aiming to achieve however similar.... I do want a remote that controls 12 recievers however the receivers need to be completely seperate and have the ability to be moved constantly away from one another and not stuck to a main board...

    Yes another NEWBIE question!

    Thankyou for taking time to explain this to me, i will now watch videos to research and learn how to communicate between microcontrollers with uart

    Yes another NEWBIE question!

    Oh ok I see, so i need a MCU and Rx controlled by a Master MCU on the controller with a Tx to transmit the signal to the Rx which is read by the individual MCU in which turns the motor on? similar to this? >> http://postimg.org/image/cu381ned7/

    Yes another NEWBIE question!

    Right thanks... Preferably a master MCU would be most appropriate... SO lets say I go down to route with the RF, how would I go about this? what is my first step to create the project? What do I need materials wise?

    Yes another NEWBIE question!

    Hi, ideally infrared is not really suited for this project but if all else fails then i may have to go forward with that as the option... When i questioned about this project previously, bluetooth was determined to be not suitable due to exessive cost and necessary power needed to support...

    Yes another NEWBIE question!

    IDEALLY... What i need is a way to individually control multiple battery powered motors lets say >10 for this example controlled from a range of >30m wirelessly. The control only has to run the motor on for a short period <1 second and then automatically shut back off again and await further...

    How do these work ?

    Maybe a big ask but... Could someone possibly baby feed me a step by step guide as to how i would go about replicating the same device as shown above. I.e. Step 1- Purchase 16 fm receivers and 1 fm transmitter and 16 DC motors and batterys etc Step 2- ........ To eventually achieve A remote...

    How do these work ?

    Thanks for that shumifan50, but the article does not explain how to control upto 16 receivers from just one transmitter remote control. Could you please expand on this ?

    How do these work ?

    How do you guys think that these devices work ? Could you produce a diagram of the workings of these, as i would like to replicate something similar (the technical working of the receiver and remote, not the home automation) for my own project. Thanks Sheffladreece...

    Electronics Noob... With probably impossible requests..HELP!

    1. Stated in the original post i estimated around 50m... Upon reflecting this would probably be an overestimation and around 10-20m would be acceptable. 2. Line of sight is not applicable for this project. 3. No experience with micro controllers (not too sure what they are but research...

    Electronics Noob... With probably impossible requests..HELP!

    Thanks for that shumifan50, after reading up on the DCC idea i have realised that this is not suitable for my problems... Is there any specific reason why no one has mentioned using either "bluetooth" or "zigbee" technologies ?

    Electronics Noob... With probably impossible requests..HELP!

    Sorry i didn't state the amp draw... Reason being im not too sure, Sorry... Although i will not be using the motors to power model railroads, the concept does seem to suit the situation that i have.... Having just had a quick look at the DCC controllers you mentioned and from briefly looking...
