The aim of Master’s thesis Transceiver and TNC for Data Communication in UHF Band with CC1020 Chip is design of unit, which provides a data transfer by the packet radio net. It is an experiment, whether CC1020 chip is possible to use for TNC design. The thesis consists of study AX25 a KISS protocols, study of CC1020 features, design of PA and LNA and programming control software for Atmel AVR microcontroller.

Master’s thesis deals with design and realization of power supply, which is supplied and controlled via USB bus. In theoretical part there are described principles of USB communication drivers which ensures this communication, there are described principles of linear voltage regulators and basic types of DC/DC converters. Mentioned is also PID regulator theory. Practical part aims for design of suitable DC/DC converter topology and creating algorithms for driving this converter. Next there is created PC program which drives power supply and there are also accomplished basic power supply measurements. The result of this thesis is functional power supply supplemented with PCB.

This thesis deals with methods of remote maintenance of microcontroller systems based on Atmel AVR family over the Ethernet interface and TCP/IP protocols. To create communication through TCP/IP, an embedded server NE-4100T is used. At the beginning, key features of the server and methods of handling with content of a program memory are discussed. The final solution is based on the bootloader method. It includes bootloader firmware and user program for PC. The hardware part covers design of interconnection electronics, DC-DC step down converter, real time clock and printed circuit board. The remote maintenance of program memory has been sucessfully solved, but the embedded server NE-4100T produces a problem with an auhentification without a sufficient solution.

This thesis introduces the construction design of two-axis positioning device to be used as panoramic head. Theoretical part explains parts of the device and in the practical part is the device assembled. The result is a complete positioning device for digital camera Canon EOS 500D and for similar camera.

The objective of this thesis is to get familiar with wireless sensor networks technologies and with standard IEEE 802.15.4. and communication principle in wireless sensor networks built on this standard. Main goal of this project is to design a packet analyzer, which is capable to catch data on chosen channel and this data is able to analyze. Part of this project is production of necessary microcontroller software equipment. Another output of this project is do a research of available packet analyzers on market and compare them with analyzer build by this thesis.

The master’s thesis deals with development of the radio channel analyser operating in the unlicensed 2.4 GHz band according to IEEE 802.15.4 standard. The analyzer will contain two basic functions, namely energy detection of channels and analysation of selected channel. Detection of energy will be solved by selection between simple graph and text list on display. Based on information about the occupancy of channels the user can decide which channel would be set up. During the receiving of valid frame the source address, signal strength and signal quality will be stored. At the end the processor will show these data on display. For controlling the device will be installed two LEDs and four buttons.

This thesis deals with the design of the 3,5" floppy drive emulator with ATMEGA microprocessor unit. The emulator has been designed according to the principles of designing electronic devices, there is also object-control application and firmware for a microcontroller, which supports MFM coding. The thesis also lists all the formats of data stored or transmitted along with some flowcharts.

This diploma thesis is dedicated to one of the problems in wireless sensor networks – over the air upgrade (OTAU) of nodes. The requirements for upgrade and possible ways how to transfer new firmware image to nodes are stated in the first chapter. The second chapter is focused on solving the problem of firmware dissemination to whole network based on analysis of known protocols. The practical part of this thesis deals with OTAU design and implementation in Lightweight Mesh software stack from Atmel. Proposed system was tested on deRFnode platform with plugged in deRFmega128 module. The upgrade process of designed system is evaluated on test network in last part. Practical test results are compared with OTAU solution for BitCloud.

This project describes a concept of a library architecture that will enable to hide platform-specific behaviour of different MCUs under an united API that will enable the developers to develop portable applications. After a short summary of the current situation, the report describes the main principles of the library-to-be followed by definitions of behaviour of each module that can be controlled using the library. Then this report describes techniques used in the implementation and platform specifics. In the conclusion there is an idea of the direction in which the development could continue.

The subject of this thesis is design and construction of a periodic signal generator prototype. The generator will use Atmel XMEGA128A4U microcontroller with computer control managed via USB interface. The thesis contains general solutions to the problem of generating signals with a special focus on utilization of DA converter – digital synthesis and reconstruction of the signal from DA converter output to continuous signal. The thesis further deals with implementation of the USB layer using two libraries (LUFA library on microcontroller side and LubUsbDotNet library on computer side). The final solution will include DC step-up converter for signal peak amplitude assessment and summing amplifier for adding the DC voltage to the output signal. The application will allow for generating signals of various shapes including user-defined ones. These signals will be displayed in the actual application window. There, users will be allowed to create user-defined signal in easy-to-use GUI or load it directly from a file.
