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 ...

This project completely deals with the interfacing AVR microcontroller (ATMEGA 16) with 16X2 LCD. The Atmega16 belongs to the AVR microcontroller family. This project completely deals with the ...

There are many reasons to build your own Arduino circuit on a protoboard or a custom-designed printed circuit board. At the heart of the Arduino platform is an AVR microcontroller, in usual way you ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
