Looking for a sensor to detect steps UPDATE: I've tested these switches and I think they're workable, with proper installation and software debouncing. They're under a dollar each, which is a plus. They...

"Armored" cable? I too would recommend metal-wrapped shower hose. A quick check on Amazon shows lengths up to 118 inches.
BTW, as a child my dad had a huge wooden spool of armored...

True, a creak sensor would work as well...
Atmega16 internal oscillator for 1s timer? I know enough about pellet stoves to think that the internal clock should be fine. In any case, I'm guessing the pellet feed will be in some kind of a feedback loop,...
What does capacitance/voltage mean on this circuit? Mithrandir_ wrote: It's strange that they chose to include it in the circuit, isn't it?
You could argue that it is strange that they specify a voltage for the electrolytic (and...

ATMEGA16 Timer/Counter Something I don't think has been mentioned yet, is that using a timer overflow is almost never the right approach to accurate timing. That is why all modern timers have some...

It is supposedly a good idea if your AVR will live in a high-noise environment. Maybe you are gonna make an arc-welder, so a cap won't hurt.

Good work. I guess the advantages outweigh the cost and trouble of implanting the IDs and wiring them all up in proper order.
I'd be a little surprised if each LED had a built-in address. Maybe so. Try pulling one from the end of the string and putting it in the middle or beginning of the...

Don't know if this is related to your problem, but you have no main loop (!!). You execute your code one time and then drop through the bottom of main(). You need an...
