The PUGAUGE is intended to be a base platform for devices to display Information in an environment where low power requirements are mandatory.
Examples are:
- Bike computers
- Thermometers
- mobile measurement devices
Hardware
- 8-Character Segmented LCD 14-segment Display
- Atmel AVR ATmega6490A AVR microcontroller
Software
Platform
The PUGAUGE is intended to be Arduino-compatible. The application software shall benefit from the ease of use, familiarity of many developers and availability of many libraries for sensors and other peripherals.
Therefore, an extension to the Arduino IDE is developed to allow the PUGAUGE being selected as a board type in the Arduino IDE. This should not be too complicated, as the PUGAUGE processor is an Atmel AVR processor closely related to the Atmel AVR processors used in the Arduino UNO and MEGA.
Additionally the optiboot bootloader for the Arduino is being modified to run on the PUGAUGE and allow Arduino sketches to be uploaded onto the PUGAUGE.(zu ergänzen)
Application
A special LCD library is being developed that provides easy access to the on board LCD ( 8 characters, 14 segments plus decimal point and apostroph).(zu ergänzen)
Build notes
Connection of ATmega6490
In the first development version all circuitry is mounted on a solderless breadboard:
- The ATmega6490 is mounted on the BBR.
- LCD-Voltage Buffer Capacitor: 3x220nF FKC in parallel from ATmega6490 Pin 1 / BBR Pin 76 to GND
- System Status LED: Port line PB0 (ATmega6490 Pin 19 / BBR Pin 94) to 330 Ohm to yellow LED to GND
- In-System-Programmer (IST) USPasp connected to 10-pin 2x5 100mil-spaced Connector:

TQFP-100 Breakout board
When soldering the AVR6490 Chip in the TQFP-100 case to it's breakout board, I made an error:
I turned it 90 degrees to the right. Therefore Pin 1 of the chip appears at Pin 76 of the breakout board.
The algorithm to find the BBR pin when knowing the pin number on the TQFP-100 package of the ATmega6490 is:
BBR-pin = (TQFP-pin + 75) MOD 100
This table provides a correction lookup:
| Pin of TQFP-100 ATmega6490A |
Pin of breakout board |
Pin of TQFP-100 ATmega6490A |
