VisISP-52 is a Windows application that will run on all modern versions of Windows (Win95, Win98, Win2000, WinME, and WinXP) and which will allow supported microcontrollers to be programmed `in-system`. It was developed specifically to program the Atmel AT89S8252 and AT89S8253 installed in an SBC but should work equally well for any

other design that uses a compatible ISP and one of the supported microcontrollers. To install VisISP-52 on your computer, simply download the following installation program and run it. This will install the application on your computer and add the appropriate icons to your "Programs" menu. You may then launch the program normally. VisISP-52`s interface is very straight-forward as is pictured below. A single window with minimal menu options provides access to the primary features of the program: Writing new firmware to the microcontroller, reading the firmware that is currently in the microcontroller, and erasing the microcontroller`s memory. Before proceeding, make sure you`ve selected the right microcontroller in the "Microcontroller" drop-down window. At this time, VisISP-52 only supports the Atmel AT89S8252 and AT89S8253. To Write Firmware to the Microcontroller: In order to write firmware to the microcontroller, first select the HEX file you wish to download by pressing the "file" button to the right of the "File to Program" prompt. You will be allowed to select a HEX file which will be loaded into memory. Once you`ve selected the file, you may download it to the microcontroller by pressing the "Write" button. A progress window will be displayed as the file is transferred to the microcontroller. To Read Firmware from the Microcontroller: You may read the contents of a microcontroller by pressing the "Read" button. This...
This project fits more for custom made battery casing that can have more space to hide things inside. This switch with few alterations can be used for any other project as well but is designed based on e-bike needs! This project use a clever functionality of....
The circuit described here uses ultrasonic oscillations and operates based on the propagation velocity of these oscillations in the air. Thus, we can easily determine the distance of two points if the time within which the wave travels this distance is....
Sometimes the precious metals are hidden too deep and are not detected except with complicated devices. In many cases, however, small pieces of precious metal buried near the surface can be detected by relatively simple means. Everyone is very attractive to....
Many times for various reasons we forget or can not water the plants that we have in our homes. And many humidity sensors units just notify us with a beeping sound or with a flashing light, that the pot needs watering. But what if we are away from home? This....
The principle behind a metal detector is really very simple. Proof of this is the circuit that follows, in which it proves that the construction of a metal detector can be done in the minute, with few components that we find very easily everywhere. With the....
The sub-harmonic bass generator is a sound producing unit for guitars. The sound it produces looks very much like that of the bass guitar. The octave generator is sometimes quite unusual since it does not produce any of the usual ways of coloring the sound,....
In the past the sounding (sea bottom measurement) was done with the "bullet", that is, with a heavy lead object that the seamen plucked into the sea hung from a calibrated rope. As soon as the "bullet" reached the bottom, the depth appeared directly from the....
This Amplifier was designed to have the following specifications: Distortion less than 0.1% at full power of 100W even at 20KHz. Power has to be attributed to an extended bandwidth. The output transistors must be protected against short circuits. The power....
A series of LEDs serve to alert the gardener when plants need water. Using two conventional digital integrated LEDs and a series of LEDs, we make a very useful device for gardening. The device detects the amount of water in the pot and alerts the grower.....
