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 ...

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 ...

The project was based on ATmega8 microcontroller and is designed to convert NES/SNES controllers to USB. The device has been designed to be as small as possible since there is no space inside a SNES ...

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 ...

Mouser Electronics, Inc. is now stocking the ATtiny104 Xplained Nano from Atmel. Designed as an evaluation kit for Atmel’s recently launched ATtiny102 and ATtiny104 8-bit AVR microcontrollers, the ...

Atmel Corporation (www.atmel.com) has introduced four AEC Q100-qualified AVR flash microcontrollers for automotive power train, body, chassis, safety and security applications involving sensor and/or ...
