Monday night (Nov 10) I’ll be going over the I2C protocol and how to make it work for you. I2C is used in all sorts of sensors these days, and understanding how to make the AVR’s speak it is useful stuff!
I’ll bring in some I2C external memory chips, a temperature sensor, and a 3-axis accelerometer. [...] -

AVR Microcontroller Class: Columbus Day Edition
In honor of Columbus Day, the AVR class took a night off from “formal” instruction and messed around with noisemakers. Specifically, using analog-to-digital conversion techniques to control the pitch of a square wave run through a small speaker. Hilarity ensued. (Follow along with us at the AVR Microcontroller Class Wiki Page.)

Except that next week, it will.
Special thanks to Mitch for the cool demos, soldering coaching, [...] -
