I remember writing as a kid in the mid ’70s to an electronics magazine well-known in Italy, Nuova Elettronica, asking them to publish the project of a device to display music on a TV like on an oscilloscope. They did not reply but eventually they published the project. I’m not sure I’m the one who [...]

I developed this infrared remote control decoder for Arduino on my Arduino-compatible STK500 evaluation board for Atmel’s AVRs.
The sketch is pretty much standard C code so porting to non-arduino dev systems is almost immediate.

I actually developed the code in C for a smaller ATtiny24 for a specific project underway thenI adapted it for Arduino and [...]

With this notes I’ll show how I configured an Atmel STK500 as an Arduino-based development system.
I used the STK500 instead of a real Arduino PCB because I already had it and the board carries 8 switches, 8 LEDs and a variable, software programmable AREF voltage as well as a variable power supply. [...]
