Pony Programmer

PonyProg is a serial device programmer based on some simple and cheap interfaces for the PC, and a user friendly GUI framework available for Windows95, 98 & NT/2000/XP and Intel Linux. Its purpose is reading and writing every serial device. At the moment it supports I²C Bus, Microwire, SPI eeprom and the flash ATMEL AVR and PIC micro.

WEB Thermometer

Measure your own temperature and display it with a WEB browser!!

Need a simple hardware and a standard http server (like apache) on server side, and only a WEB browser on client side.

MiniThreads

AVR Mini Threads: a nanoKernel for the AT90S1200

A powerful way to do a cooperative multitasking with the AVR AT90S1200. You can do a "wait" to go sleep and wait for a signal, or send a signal to wake up another thread. Give a look at the code, it's an interesting code example.
Some examples based on MiniThreads:

Implementing a RS232 transmitter as a miniThread.
Ir RC5 decoder as a miniThread. It decodes RC5 from Ir receiver and send the code to RS232. RC5 is a common protocol used by television remote control units.
Digital thermometer using the DS1621. It reads the temperature and send the result to the RS232 (PDF circuit schematic)

CARACA

CAN Remote Automation and Control with the AVR

CARACA: The free home automation project

It's a network of small control units called NODE that fits in standard domestic socket due to small dimensions. The protocol is based on the robust and reliable CANBus. With CARACA you can mesure temperature, switch on/off appliances, control by commercial Ir remote units, log all events to file and control everything by a internet connection. By the way a lot of new features will be added in the future.

The project is opensource and hosted by SourceForge. Anyone want to contribute by developing or testing is welcome.

AMPEOS

A Message Passing Operating System

Educational operating system based on a PDP-11 emulator.
I started porting AMPEOS to some real architectures like the i386 and the H8/300. If you are interested send me a mail. Unfortunately documentation and all the comments are only available in italian language.
