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 ...

A Direct AVR Parallel Access, or DAPA cable, is an incredibly simple and cheap programming method. You can build one very quickly for a few bucks worth of parts, but the convenience comes with a few ...

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 ...

The AVR 8-bit microcontroller's modified Harvard architecture was introduced in 1997. These Atmel microcontrollers are popular among a reasonably large number of developers because they provide decent ...

Atmel’s ATxmega128B1 is a low power, high performance 8/16-bit AVR microcontroller. The MCU boasts 128KB self-programming flash program memory, 8KB boot code section, 8KB SRAM, 2048-byte EEPROM, ...

-- AVR Dragon Provides On-Chip Debugging and Programming at Only US$49 Atmel(R) Corporation (Nasdaq: ATML) announced today the AVR Dragon(TM) development tool for AVR(R) microcontrollers. By providing ...

A new mid range in-circuit debugger and programmer has been unveiled by Atmel. The JTAGICE3 supports all Atmel AVR 8 and 32bit mcus and is said to be smaller, faster, and more robust than the previous ...

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 ...

Until recently, a very common problem faced by electronic circuit designers was the difference in supply voltage standards between microcontrollers (e.g. 3.3 V) and peripheral ICs (e.g. 5 V). In order ...

Developers, programmers and hobbyists searching for a standalone AVR Programmer may be interested in a new piece of hardware called the Program-O-Tron created by Ewan Fisher base in the United Kingdom ...
