We love looking at hardcore electronics projects with a beefy microcontroller and hundreds, if not thousands, of lines of code at its center. But everyone needs to get there somehow. This tutorial … ...

The most common way of programming AVR microcontrollers is the In System Programming port. That little six-pin header with MOSIs and MISOs coming out of it will program every AVR you’ll ever ...

Here you can learn many more interesting and useful about USB bootloaders for AVR microcontrollers. In practice, one of the most proper microcontroller programming method is using a bootloader program ...

For novices: yet another Embedded C Programming Tutorial based on 8-bit AVR micro-controllers, using Microchip/Atmel Studio (not Arduino IDE).

For this project I use Atmega328P which is an old but lovely microcontroller used in Arduino Uno. Keep in mind that Atmega328P is NOT RECOMMENDED FOR NEW DESIGNS and we are going to use it only to ...

Usually in almost all hobby robotics projects, the brain is a simple yet powerful microcontroller chip, which simplifies the construction, modification and future expansion tasks. Needless to say, the ...

Why Study 8-Bit AVR Microcontroller Architecture? The highly popular ATtiny and ATmega microcontrollers (formerly from Atmel, now from Microchip) are based on the 8-bit AVR microcontroller ...

Microchip announces the release of MPLAB X Integrated Development Environment version 5.05 which beta supports the majority of AVR microcontrollers. This release will allow designers who traditionally ...
