What a incredible thing!
Even though I'm from Korea, I have learned English for 8 months and I don't understand all what you talked, I'm just interested in.

What does it use for? Can you control on Linux based?
I'm just wondering....

It is first time to write comments. ^^
I'm looking forward to receiving your answer.

Have a nice day... -+- 24.67.253.203 = Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows 98) 2002-11-06 -+- Harinder -+- dhingra_h@yahoo.com -+- Great.

I'm a total Newbie in microcontrollers and couldn't find the answer to my question in the datasheet, so I hope you can give me a little help. Is it possible to switch the push-buttons-lines by using optokopplers? Is the voltage between common_button_lines and push_buttons high enough for that?

Thanks in advance

Thomas

Regarding your letter, I am interested in testing project A Microcontroller based DC power supply from http://www.tldp.org/linuxfocus/English/November2002/article251.shtml which is your task. However, I have some problems about the programme that is used to compile IC AT90S4433P so if you don’t mind, I would appreciate it if you would send me HEX.file In Thailand, we have less knowledge about microcontroller. I hope that your projects will help us to increase this knowledge in the future. Hoping to hear from you soon. Thanks for your help

Yours very sincerely

SUVIT

What a fantastic piece of work Master.
I have built the power supply and it works fine ,I have recompile the code follow your instructions step by step. I have u=30V I=3A.
Do you think that will be a chance of a digital multimeter control thru comms using an AVR in the far far away future?
Thank you for sharing the program and circuit schematics.
Keep up your good work.
God Bless you Guido

-+- 82.83.214.73 = Mozilla/4.0 2005-11-29 -+- Dan Lenski -+- lenski@umd.edu -+- What an awesome project, Guido! Your description is impressively complete I've just gotten into uC's and would like to try building this, maybe over winter break.

One question: I am having a bit of trouble understanding the high-power portion of the circuit. As mentioned in the description, in order to produce a smooth DC output, it's necessary to add a low-pass filter to the output.

I can't figure out WHERE the low-pass filter is in the power circuit :-) I see that there's 10 uF in parallel with the output, and a .25 ohm resistor, but that would only give a low-pass cut-off frequency of f=60 kHz. Wouldn't that be too high to smooth out the corners in the PWM waveform?

Any enlightenment would be appreciated! -+- 129.2.177.53 = Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20051010 Firefox/1.0.7 (Ubuntu package 1.0.7) 2005-11-29 -+- Guido -+- -+- Hi everybody,
it is certainly possible to still build this power supply
however the design is almost 4 years old and avr-libc and the microcontroller
hardware has changed. The uC that I used here is no longer available
on the marked. You can still use the ideas and update the software for
a new microcontroller.
The best solution is however to just use the new power supply:
http://linuxfocus.org/English/September2005/article389.shtml
It's cheaper to build, has more features and is more modern.
