Do you want to increase the functionality and value of your ham radio without spending a lot of money? This book will show you how! Arduino Projects for Amateur Radio is filled with step-by-step microcontroller projects you can accomplish on your own--no programming experience necessary.
After getting you set up on an Arduino board, veteran ham radio operators Jack Purdum (W8TEE) and Dennis Kidder (W6DQ) start with a simple LCD display and move up to projects that can add hundreds of dollars' worth of upgrades to existing equipment. This practical guide provides detailed instructions, helpful diagrams, lists of low-cost parts and suppliers, and hardware and software tips that make building your own equipment even more enjoyable. Downloadable code for all of the projects in the book is also available.
Author Manoel Carlos Ramon is a member of the Intel Galileo development team; in this book he draws on his practical experience in working on the Galileo project as he shares the team’s findings, problems, fixes, workarounds, and techniques with the open source community. His areas of expertise are wide-ranging, including Linux-embedded kernel and device drivers, C/C++, Java, OpenGL, Assembler, Android NDK/SDK/ADK, and 2G/3G/4G modem integration. He has more than 17 years of experience in research and development of mobile devices and embedded circuits. His personal blog about programming is BytesThink (www.bytesthink.com).

Maker Pro is a book of essays by more than a dozen prominent and up-and-coming professional makers (Maker Pros). Each essay includes advice and stories on topics such as starting a kit-making business, taking a hardware project open-source, and plenty of encouragement to "quit your day job." This book is a reference for anyone who dreams of turning a hobby into a small business, and features stories from well-known professional makers; it will turn aspiration into inspiration.
About the Author John Baichtal got his start writing blog posts for Wired's legendary GeekDad blog as well as the DIYer's bible MAKE Magazine. From there he branched out into authoring books about toys, tools, robots, and hobby electronics. He is the co-author of The Cult of Lego (No Starch) and author of Hack This: 24 Incredible Hackerspace Projects from the DIY Movement as well as Basic Robot Building With Lego Mindstorms NXT 2.0 (both from Que). Most recently he wrote Make: Lego and Arduino Projects for MAKE, collaborating with Adam Wolf and Matthew Beckler. He lives in Minneapolis, MN, with his wife and 3 children.
Arduino is the hot open source prototyping platform for artists, hobbyists, students, and anyone who wants to create interactive physical environments. Getting Started with Arduino is co-authored by Arduino co-founder Massimo Banzi, and incorporates his experience in teaching, using, and creating Arduino.
This tutorial is about a cloud based Arduino IDE called Codebender that works as a web browser plugin. Quick and easy setup will have you blinking an LED on your Arduino board in less than 2 minutes!
This post show how to program the ATmega328 on a standalone breadboard Arduino. Using Arduino Uno as Arduino ISP.
Connect your breadboard Arduino to Arduino Uno as shown here:
Extra components needed:
- a 16 MHz crystal
- two 22 picofarad capacitors, between the crystal and GND.
- a 10k resistor, between pin 1 of ATMEGA328P and +5V.
- LED and 1K resistor, used in our Blink example. LED cathode connect to GND, anode connect to the 1K resistor, connect to pin 19 of ATMEGA328P.
The basic steps:
- Connect the breadboard to Arduino Uno as shown above.
- Connect Uno to PC using USB.
- Start Arduino IDE, and program the Arduino Uno as ArduinoISP.
- Switch Tools -> Board to our target board.
- Select Tools -> Programmer -> Arduino as ISP.
- Burn Bootloader.
- Compile and upload your sketch.
I suppose the target board is very similar to Nano board, so I select Board of Arduino Nano, and Processor of ATmega328. It success to burn bootloader, but FAIL to upload sketch, with error of: avrdude: stk500_getsync() attempt x of 10: not in sync: resp=0x1c
As show in this video:
I have to modify boards.txt to add a new board, copy from nano. The file should be locate in the folder arduino-1.5.8/hardware/arduino/avr/. For safety, make a copy before edit.
Find the entry of nano, copy and rename another board, bba.name=BreadBoard Arduino in my case. Modify the content as:
Re-start Arduino IDE after boards.txt modified and saved.
This video show how to edit the file boards.txt:
Finally, we can program the ATmega328 on breadboard using Arduino Uno as ISP, and select our custom BreadBoard Arduino, of processor ATmega328 as target.
