This small 8X8 LED array packs a ton of smarts in a small package. The code for the ATmega16 is available as well as the Eagle PCB layout. Thanks Martin "ATmega16 is powered from two CR2016 lithium cells. AVR is using internal RC oscillator @8MHz. The supply voltage is 6.0V. Lower voltages works too, but the image isn’t so bright, especially the green LEDs. There is a button connected

You may remember the Household AC Power Monitoring System using Clamp Meters that Jason Winter made which was featured earlier this year. Web Monitoring of Water Usage using an ioBridge is his latest project. As you can see from the pictures he lives in a climate where water pipes don’t freeze. Up here in Canada we are not so lucky. If you prefer the instructions in an Instructables format
Mike Saunby got his hands on one of the most interesting old clocks I have ever seen. It does time and date which isn’t any great feat by todays standards but have a look at the complex electro-mechanical goodness that makes it tick. The big question here is who made the thing, there are no markings on the clock to give us any clues. Anyone know? There are some
