It is possible to use an Arduino for High Voltage Parallel Programming to recover your AVR, but that’s another hack in itself. We use an AVR Dragon for pretty much everything. But the STK500 is a very ...

I 2 C as many of you know, is a simple serial interface for many peripheral devices to micro controllers, but it can quickly become confusing to people who may not be accustom to it. Because of that, ...

Atmega is one of the most widely used series of microcontrollers in the industry as well as the hobby world - mainly because of the versatile functionality of these devices, as well as a huge open ...

The highly popular ATtiny and ATmega microcontrollers (formerly from Atmel, now from Microchip) are based on the 8-bit AVR microcontroller architecture. Let's consider some of the reasons to learn and ...

Programming AVR microcontrollers and Arduinos using the Arduino ISP December 3, 2018 By Scott Thornton Leave a Comment All microcontrollers (MCUs) require some sort of mechanism to program them, even ...

There are several ways to program AVR microcontrollers. We are programming it with USBASP v2.0 serial programmer. For demonstration we will use ATmega16 Microcontroller and Atmel Studio. We will test ...

Not just for nerds, anyone with an interest in electronics, computers, or engineering can build a circuit to blink an LED or read a temperature sensor. The NerdKit will walk you through building the ...

I am enjoying reading John Morton’s 2002 book ‘AVR and introductory course’, published by Newnes. It is a book on creating software rather than hardware. and paced just the right for me – someone who ...

I've been interested in getting into microcontroller programming lately, and I've been looking at Microchips PIC16F and PIC18F series (especially the PIC16F), and also Atmel's ATtiny and ATmega series ...
