HV Rescue Shield Kit Blowout! Kits are now 50% off at Amazon.com

For a limited time, my AVR HV Rescue Shield kit is on sale for 50% off at Amazon.com.

These kits are handy for modifying the fuse bytes on many popular Atmel Microchip AVR microcontrollers. The Rescue Shield works even when traditional serial programmers can’t talk to the AVR. This can happen if the AVR’s clock source isn’t set correctly or reset is disabled.

Using this shield, you can effectively “unbrick” your AVR. You’ll need a standard Arduino (not included) to use the shield.

There’s software and lots more information on the kit page.

Get one while supplies last!

Sale runs through April 1st.

Happy Holidays from MightyOhm!

Happy Holidays from MightyOhm

Happy Holidays everyone! The image above is a nixie tube Christmas ornament project that I started last year but didn’t finish in time for Christmas. In typical fashion I did one or two revs to the PCB in late December and early January and then got busy and shelved the project until last weekend. It’s still not quite finished but the first two ornaments look pretty good!

Geiger Counter Kits are selling very quickly this year but there are still plenty in stock here and at Amazon.com, Elektor, and Sparkfun. There is still time to order before the holidays! These kits make great gifts!

PS. AVR HV Rescue Shields are also in stock on my site as well as Amazon.

MightyOhm Kits are now available from Amazon.com

Exciting news!

My hobby electronics kits are now available from my Amazon store with free expedited shipping for Prime members.

MightyOhm Geiger Counter Kit Bundle – This version of the kit includes a sensitive SBM-20 Geiger tube, laser-cut case, and 2xAAA batteries. If you already own a soldering iron, wire cutters, and have a spool of solder handy, this bundle includes everything you need to build the kit. This is a great project for a snowy afternoon this winter and these kits make great gifts.

MightyOhm AVR HV Rescue Shield – This is the kind of kit that you don’t know you need until you REALLY need it. Great for AVR microcontroller enthusiasts.

I’m also selling SBM-20 Geiger Counter tubes on Amazon. These tubes are getting more challenging to source so grab one before they are all gone.
