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 ...

Use programming software to send some example code to the microcontroller If you missed Part 1 take a few minutes to review that portion of the tutorial and then join us after the break.

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 ...

In this age of microelectronics and robotics, we are fortunate enough with the availablilty of a vast range of compact, easy to use and flexible robotics project kits. Usually in almost all hobby ...

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 ...

Whether you are creating a small Internet appliance, some hardware instrumentation, data loggers or an army of autonomous robots to do your bidding, in numerous situations you need the flexibility of ...

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

Yes, our own “breadboard compatible” 5VDC power supply is now ready for use! What is next? Next thing is the setting up of a simplest Atmega Development Board. There are many places where you can ...
