This is an USB Physical Hit Counter.This version requires one MCU to communicate between PC and 7-segments display driver.I decided using AVR and this is my first AVR project.The purpose of this project still same as previous version.Therefore,it used to count and display the total page hits on any website instead of using only general scripts such as PHP,Java,CGI etc.The host software no USB driver programming required.

This is a Physical Hit Counter V2. In this version I use MAX7219 and 7-segment common cathode LED display x 8 instead using mechanical counter like the early version. MAX7219 is a 8-Digit LED Display Drivers and serially interfaced.I use MAX7219 because I got two samples from MAXIM.To interface MAX7219 with PC serial port without MCU, we must convert RS232 voltage level to TTL level.
